Portugal Golden Visa is a scam - endless waits, misleading information and outright lies

Thank you for the kind words Watson.

Yes, disappointment and betrayal are the primary feelings we are experiencing. But we are also pragmatic. So while it is quite miserable to be living here with all this uncertainty, we know that we need to see how this plays out. Ideally it would be sooner rather than later as our renewals are due in April and if it is indeed a full and permanent “rug pull”, we will need some time to implement our Plan B. So we are quite keen to see some movement in the upcoming days/weeks.

Did you end up abandoning the process?

No, I’m locked into illiquid funds for now.

As soon as the dust clears on the new citizenship law, I plan to sue under the bilateral investment treaty between Turkey and Portugal. If that doesn’t work, I’m out as soon as the funds unlock, and will be pushing to make that happen sooner.
