Portugal Golden Visa - The New Law of 2023

@drlward: The original law (https://diariodarepublica.pt/dr/detalhe/lei/23-2007-635814) states the following, and all other alterations refer back to the original law:
Artigo 65.º-C Prazos mínimos de permanência
Para efeitos de renovação de autorização de residência, os cidadãos requerentes referidos no artigo 90.º-A da Lei n.º 23/2007, de 4 de julho, alterada pelas Leis n.os 29/2012, de 9 de agosto, 56/2015, de 23 de junho, e 63/2015, de 30 de junho, devem cumprir os seguintes prazos mínimos de permanência:
a) 7 dias, seguidos ou interpolados, no 1.º ano;
b) 14 dias, seguidos ou interpolados, nos subsequentes períodos de dois anos.

Which in English is: Article 65- C Minimum periods of stay
For the purpose of renewing a residence permit, the applicant citizens referred to in Article 90-A of Law no. 23/2007, of July 4, as amended by Laws no. 29/2012, of August 9, 56/2015, of June 23, and 63/2015, of June 30, must comply with the following minimum periods of stay:
a) 7 days, consecutive or interpolated, in the 1st year;
b) 14 days, consecutive or interpolated, in subsequent periods of two years.
Importantly this is part of the Manual of SEF that they use to check periods/proof of stay.
