This should absolutely be the end of new applications for Portugal Golden Visa. Who wants to wait 14-17 years from the moment of application to obtain citizenship?!?!
Seriously people, stay away!
you do not receive citizenship immediately upon applying; the process is taking 2-3 years in most cases, so this would mean 12-13 years from application until citizenship.
However, this assumes the count of years for citizenship starts the moment you make your application rather than the moment your residence card is issued. Until this point, AIMA has been inconsistent on this point. Plus you have the risk that an unfavorable interpretation could be issued as part of the new law. I applied 3.5 years ago and am still waiting for my residence card, and some on this form have been waiting even longer. In this case, citizenship could take around 14-17 years from the moment of application.
