> [@live2learn](#): > > I am interested in seeing the actual text/law that explicitly says about this matter. It doesn’t explicitly say that you can sell (it would be strange if it did, TBH), but it is not listed as a requirement to maintain the investment and AIMA has also clarified that it’s not required. > [@live2learn](#): > > A: one had 2 years first card, 2 years second card, and now he has third card with validity of 2 years. When he completes 5 years (card based), he sells his investment and his third card still has 1 year validity. Then he requests Aima for an GV PR. Is it possible? What was said in the recent [webinar hosted by Madalena Monteiro](https://youtu.be/xCbsFMFWNbQ) was that you should keep the investment until you’ve been granted the PR just in case of any issues with the application—and either way at the very least you need to have it at the point of application. > [@live2learn](#): > > B: one maintains the investment while requesting GVPR and he only sells his investment after having GV PR. Will he be able to renew his GVPR ? What exactly aima will ask during the GVPR renewal? 😵‍💫 There isn’t really a renewal of the PR right per se (you don’t need to qualify again to maintain your PR _status_), it’s an administrative act to renew the card. This is the same for the regular PR, by the way. You won’t be asked during the renewal to prove that you have been at least six months in Portugal per rolling three-year period (which is the minimum stay requirement for that permit). It would be up to the state to bring a case to revoke your permit in case they suspect that you’re not meeting the requirement. You still need to show regular items such as proof of available accommodation (can be a _contrato de comodato_ or similar), no tax/social security debts in Portugal, etc. I believe this goes for both PR types. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.nomadgate.com/t/portugal-permanent-residence-permit-for-investment-purposes/25438)._
