Portugal Golden Visa- stay requirements double check

All cards were issued in the fourth quarter of 2024 and were valid for 2 years. The cards will expire in the last quarter of 2026.

We did 15 days in the first year - this satisfies the 7 day requirement in Year 1.

Yes, there is a 14-day requirement in Years 2&3 combined. However, at the time of applying for renewal towards the end of Year-2 (i.e. in a month or so from now), the 14-day requirement in years 2&3 need not be met yet because Year 3 has not even started. So I can apply for renewal this year and do another visit next year.

Is that correct? What do you think?

I think you already have all the information from the posts above to make your own decision.
