Yes, I also know GV holders who got their normal PR before 2021. GV PR was introduced somewhere around 2021.

What I know about recent practice is:

  1. There are for sure some GV holders who are already living in Portugal, but were not allowed to apply for normal GV, only for GV PR
  2. The time for decision to grant GV PR is very long, looks like it could be comparable to receiving the first GV
  3. In general, I do not know any GV holder who got PR either normal or GV PR let’s say in 2023, so may be it is due to things mentioned above.

If you know some GV holder who received PR recently, I am very interested to hear about that.

P.S. I also know one GV holder who applied both for citizenship and GV PR in 2022, the naturalization process moved to stage 5, while nothing is heard about GV PR. Looks like she may receive citizenship earlier than GV PR. But let’s see.
