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

It’s worth acknowledging though that if the 10-year timeline is upheld, it would represent an existential threat to the funds (and the premise of the ARI program) unless they can pivot to promoting residency only. I don’t blame the funds at all for trying to preserve their business if things go badly tomorrow, but I do wish they would devote more energy to heading off the issue in the first place.

Are the funds doing this? Which funds? Trying to establish if any funds are actually doing this and if so, who.

A lot of them are actively involved in the “it was never about citizenship” gaslight campaign. Optimize most recently.

Okay, I thought this was spit-up funny. I’m going to file that away for future use!

What a frivolous, unserious, and incredibly stupid excuse for a journalist. Just goes to show that Portugal has been a home for grifters since long before the current influx of immigrants.

Honestly, the hilarity is real.

Then there is the stark message coming out from the United States of America: that Europe faces “civilizational erasure” and that if things are allowed to continue in the way they have been, in 20 years or less Europe will not look like Europe anymore – and may not even be a valid partner for NATO membership.

So much seems to be ‘up in the air’ – and adding to the workload of AIMA (the agency for integration, migrations and asylum), the 1000-plus proposals to remove residency will now have to be duly analysed for a final decision.

From the article on Portugal Resident about PSP asking for residencies to be canceled. :rofl:

Natasha Donn strikes again!

Who are PSP and why they asking to remove 1000 residences?

According to her it’s an effort to save Portuguese society.

Another half-cooked spaghetti-logic take on a topic she clearly doesn’t understand (and can’t be bothered to put any effort into understanding). Does anyone actually read this stuff? It’s embarrassingly bad.
