Residencies & citizenships Portugal Golden Visa 🇵🇹

The Nomad Gate community is a treasure trove of knowledge, however it can be hard to find the truly useful posts as they tend to be buried deep within threads with hundreds or even thousands of posts.

In an attempt at making it easier to access this immensely valuable knowledge, the community proposed putting together guides that summarize the information contained within the community.

Each guide will be made a “wiki”, meaning that anyone (except brand new users) can edit them to add in additional knowledge and keep them up to date as things invariably change over time.

Accessing the guides

For now you can find the posts tagged wiki in the forum.

We may also add a section listing the guides in the relevant articles on Nomad Gate (e.g. the Portugal Golden Visa guide).

Adding and contributing to the guides

If you would like to contribute your knowledge towards creating an easy to access guide (wiki) to the benefit of the community, this is how you do so:

  1. First off, thank you :pray:
  2. Pick a topic from the list below or choose another that you think will be useful
  3. Create a new topic in the relevant category (e.g. Portugal Golden Visa :portugal:) and add the relevant tags (both wiki as well as e.g. portugal and golden-visa if it’s related to the Portuguese GV program)
  4. Start the name of the topic with e.g. GUIDE: or HOW-TO: so it stands out from other types of topics.
  5. Write the guide. You can refer to the original posts that contributed the information you’re including by quoting or linking to them. That gives people an opportunity to get
  6. At the end of the wiki, please add this section:
---
*This wiki was created by @YourUsername. If you see an <kbd>Edit</kbd> button in the bottom right, you are welcome to contribute your knowledge.*

*Contributions by: [If you make any changes to this wiki, add your username here]*

*Read more about [wikis on Nomad Gate here](https://community.nomadgate.com/t/guides-and-wikis-how-to-access-and-contribute/63641).*
  1. Once you hit publish, you can also DM me (@tkrunning) and I’ll see if it makes sense to merge add the wiki as the first post of the existing thread on the relevant topic. In some cases it will, in others it won’t. If I don’t merge them, I’ll add in notices in the relevant threads with links to the new wiki.

Note: When starting out it’s perfectly fine to quote a lot of the original content providing insights into the topic in question, the wiki doesn’t need to read like a perfectly crafted and coherent guide. The most important thing is to get started by at least centralizing the important information in one place. And at that point it’ll be easier for people to contribute going forward.
