Since the [changes to the Portuguese Golden Visa program were published this morning](https://community.nomadgate.com/t/its-official-portugals-golden-visa-program-changes-on-jan-1-2022/34021) I figured it would be interesting to gauge the reaction of the community. Will you hurry up and invest under the current rules, or are you fine with the changes? A quick recap of the changes… From Jan 1, 2022: - Real estate investments can only be made in the interior + the islands of Madeira and the Azores (possibly with an exception for commercial real estate) - The minimum investment amount for funds increase from €350K to 500K - Other capital transfer options also increase - Other options remain unchanged, such as art investments (€250K) and the creation of 10 new jobs Vote and discuss! _Poll ([view on site](https://community.nomadgate.com/t/portugal-2022-gv-changes-what-will-you-do/34022/1))_ Note: I’ve summarized the changes in a bit more details here: > **[Portugal Golden Visa—What Has Changed in 2022? (+ updated map)](https://nomadgate.com/2022-portugal-golden-visa-rule-changes/)** > > Finally, the rule changes are official. Here’s what they say and what they mean for your investment plans. ---

It is nice to have some certainty about the deadline. However, you should take some other matters into consideration also. This includes currency exchange rates throughout the year, lawyer selection, some funds will close during the year and no longer be available for investment, there can be severe delays with getting apostilles. All this weighs in favor of making a decision no later than September in my opinion. This only allows you about 6 months from now. You can set up alerts on [Transferwise](https://nomadgate.com/go/wise) to notify you when exchange rates hit a certain level. This is a nice feature than can potentially save some money if you aren’t in a big hurry. ---

> [@Srg](#): > > Do somebody know why [Mercan](https://nomadgate.com/go/mercan-properties?source=forum) believe that rehabilitation projects still valuable in Porto and Lisabon? Well, I don’t think all rehabilitation projects are still allowed, but it seems that the geographic restrictions may only apply to residential real estate, not commercial. Since they are building hotels, these may still qualify. ---

I dont think 350k in lisbon and porto will qualify…
