This wiki article is specific to PORTUGAL GOLDEN VISA RENEWAL documents. Please contribute if you can improve this wiki. This article assumes that GV renewals will shortly require documents to be submitted to the AIMA portal in order to submit a renewal application. To assist applicants in preparing to obtain appropriate documentation in advance of the renewal process, the following list of required documents is presented.
Tax Declaration.
An up-to-date declaration issued in the prior 45 days by the Portuguese Tax Authorities and by the Portuguese Social Security confirming the absence of any outstanding debts to those authorities owed by the applicant.
Links to instructions to obtain the forms are below in comments.
Criminal Background Check.
Where the ARI / Golden Visa applicant fails to prove his / her actual residence in Portugal, it is mandatory to submit an Extract from the criminal record ā duly certified by a Portuguese diplomatic or consular post abroad ā of the country of origin, or country of residence in case the applicant has been living in another country for over one year. The extract of the criminal records must be issued within 3 months of the online application, legalized/apostilled, and certifiably translated into Portuguese.
Validity period: 90 days
Apostile required?: Yes
Proof of investment
The Golden visa applicant must provide proof that the initial investment supporting the original application is still continuing. I am not going to repeat all of the steps to prove the investment, but you can find it archived here: Wayback Machine. Also see law here: Artigo 65.Āŗ-D do Dec.-Regulamentar n.Āŗ 84/2007, de 5/11

Proof of support and maintenance (Optional- for those with dependents)
For dependents age 18 and older, proof that each dependent relies on the applicant for support and maintenance.

In all case, you will need to provide a copy of all pages of the passport.

Proof of Entry in TN
You will need to present proof of legal entry into the national territory. For most people this will be the passport stamp.
