On the past 12th of February of 2021, Decree-Law 14/2021 altered the legal framework concerning the entry, permanence, exit, and removal of foreigners into and out of Portuguese national territory, namely the legal framework of the residence permit for investment (widely known as “Golden Visa”), was promulgated.
With the enforcement of the new amendments, investments that grant the right to a Golden Visa were restricted by increasing its minimum value or reducing the geographical area where they are to be affected.
In what real estate investments are concerned, the acquisition of residential properties is now eligible for a Golden Visa if located in the regions of Madeira and Azores or inland areas of Portugal. The investment in non-residential properties (e.g., offices, stores, commercial buildings, hotel units, etc.) remains eligible, regardless of being in a low-density or high-density area.
As for the minimum investment amounts, they have remained unchanged with the 2022 legal changes, and therefore two options are still available for investors:
The aforementioned minimum investment amounts can be reduced by 20% if the properties are located in a low-density area.
