Awaiting Biometrics (Stage 3)

See Portuguese Citizenship application after 5 years of Golden Visa - #115 by sm33 which is a more cautiously optimistic take (I agree with it, having read the whole chapter and verse of the updated regulations). The rules have actually got better and more objective. GV holders are presumed to have a connection to the community by default, unless actively proven otherwise by the public prosecutor upto one year after ‘registration of nationality’. TLDR, IANAL, but you ought to have little problem with the passport application, especially given you have actually been living there for years and if it comes to that, can substantiate connection to the community way better than 95% of the GV holder crowd.
