What's the potential impact of the 2025 Portuguese election on the Golden Visa program and pathway to citizenship?

Note that all the stars aligned for you here @piggy - you were super lucky :four_leaf_clover:

Your lawsuit actually got a resolution (lucky), in your favour (lucky), just as the AIMA “new, new process” launched for 2025 (incredibly lucky!)… and which only ran for a couple months (Jan-Feb) before the “GV Backlog Recovery Support Unit” was diverted for political purposes (very lucky).

By way of contrast, our Bios were taken a week before the AIMA “new, new process” announcement last Christmas, and we still don’t have approval or cards (or our Citizenship clock ticking yet). Yes we sued and appealed - latter is in the rotting pile of 100,000+ suits somewhere.

Luck and chance are half the game in the PT GV :spade_suit: :diamond_suit: :club_suit: :heart_suit:

…oh, but somehow it’s fair to have our Citizenship clock start dates based on randomness like the above???
