Portugal: Permanent Residence Permit for Investment Purposes

Yes real estate GV is eligible for GV PR. You can read it for yourself in Article 42 of Mais Habitação law:

I’m not sure if this topic has already been discussed, but I have a question regarding Golden Visa holders whose real-estate route has been converted to a D2/entrepreneur-type visa. When these applicants become eligible to apply for permanent residency, will the fee be the same as the regular PR application fee? This is assuming the applicant has been living permanently in Portugal since receiving the first residence card.

It does not matter if you have been converted from a temp GV to a temp D2, or if you remain on a temp GV. In either case you will have the option of obtaining a GV PR or a standard PR. With the GV you will pay the (much) higher fee, but you will only need to spend 7 days per year in country in order to obtain your subsequent PR card after 5 years. If you opt for the standard PR, you will pay a small fee but will be required to spend substantially more time in Portugal on an annual basis. If you are living in PT full time, then standard PR would seem to be the logical path for you.

@deepyarn, thank you very much, really appreciated :blush::blush:

On the dependent implications -

[Dependents] Can continue on Temp. ARI while Primary has Perm. ARI

I assume this requires the PR primary to maintain the qualifying investment as long as 1+ dependents are still on the temp ARI? I will have a late addition to the family, probably ~2 years behind the rest of us on card issuance and PR eligibility, so I’m curious how this might play out for us.

Hi all - thanks for your feedback on the Temp/Perm/Citizenship comparison table. Latest version is above here.

@hondo16 as for your question above, perhaps @tkrunning can shed more light (also see post here).
