According to multiple Portuguese media reports, the Portuguese Council of Ministers has approved the amendments to the Golden Residence Permit Act, confirming that the new policy will take effect on July 1, 2021 (originally scheduled for January). This means the issuance of "Golden Visas" will cease in "coastal areas and metropolitan regions such as Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve." However, "Golden Visas" already approved in these regions may continue to be renewed. This is intended to channel investment into the development of inland regions, the Madeira Islands, the Azores, and low-population-density areas.

The new policy will include a transition period during 2021-2022 to adapt to the economic impact of reduced investment during this time, while ensuring that other regions can attract more overseas investment. Government departments are still discussing the details of the new policy and the transition period; Worldway Group will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as soon as possible.

 

In short, investors still have a limited amount of precious time to continue obtaining Portuguese Golden Residence status by purchasing properties in Lisbon or Porto. Investors interested in investment immigration to Portugal and applying for an EU passport should cherish this valuable time, act early, and secure their status as soon as possible.

 

Currently, through the Portuguese Golden Residence Program, investors can purchase properties starting from 350,000 Euros to apply for Portuguese Golden Residence status for three generations of their family. This allows them to enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, travel freely within the 26 Schengen countries, and apply for Portuguese citizenship—thereby obtaining an EU passport—once conditions are met. At the same time, they also acquire a property with permanent ownership, which is a multi-benefit investment.
