Expats Losing Golden Visas: Portugal's New Rules #portugal #expat #update

Summary

The transcript discusses Portugal's residency by investment program, which traditionally allowed foreign investors to obtain permanent residency by investing at least €250,000 in real estate. Recently, the Portuguese Parliament has extended the pathway to citizenship from 5 to 10 years, aligning with other European countries' immigration policies. This change significantly impacts potential expats and investors who were previously attracted by the shorter citizenship timeline, potentially making the program less appealing for those seeking quick naturalization.
