Hello everyone! Just got final approval notification of my Golden visa. Asking to me to create DUC on ARI website. had my biometric appointment in Coimbra 2023 27th February.
I was asked to create DUC on ARI website, but it does not let me create one as it is shown the error in the photo. Anyone having the same issue ?

Hmm interesting - we had our biometrics several days before you and have not heard yet. Are you a primary applicant or a dependent?
Time to chase my lawyer I think!!

I am primary, she is dependent

Thanks, I was replying to Shin as I had my biometrics in Coimbra before him and haven’t heard yet.

did you file a lawsuit?

I am the primary applicant but I have two dependents. I still didn’t get my dependents final approval, last my was asking for their support documents in April. It was third time that they asked another documents
 I heard that is illegal. They can only ask once. Are you the main applicant?

I also got my preliminary approval in October of 2021 and biometric in January of 2023, but nothing as yet. Meeting with an attorney on Tuesday to evaluate whether to file a lawsuit. Congrats to Shin and good luck wishes to Beanieskis.

Does anyone actually know someone who managed to get his Portuguese citizenship through this program?

Yes, read this thread

Didn’t find anyone on that thread who actually got citizenship


To clarify, the OP asked if “anyone knew anyone” who had received citizenship through the GV route - I have and posted that observation with details on the referenced thread.

Got my final approval! Same day I emailed my lawyer they replied to say my son and I have been approved, and DUC for mine ready for payment. I suspect we may have been approved a few days ago but they were waiting for the DUC before updating me.

My timeline:

Applied October 2021
Biometrics 24/02/23 in Coimbra

Where’s the link to the database for me to update?
