January 2021 Update on the law and what we know

On December 22nd 2020 the Portuguese government signed off on various changes and updates to the Golden Visa program in Portugal. This will affect and change all Portugal Golden Visa’s, including 280,000 – 350,000 & 500,000.

The final legal text and rules have NOT yet been agreed by the government so all new information is speculation. We are very confident the Golden Visa in Portugal will continue at all the cost levels, but the locations you can invest in and the rules around Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve will change. It is not clear as yet if the main coastal and City regions will be excluded completely or there will be a price increase, so if you budget is limited invest before MAY 2021.

Since 2005 we have seen countless laws passed in Portugal then followed by months and years of debate only to then change their mind or change the rules. So really this isn’t certain.

Golden Visa Portugal in 2022

We are quite confident by this time you will only be able to invest in the interior regions, but if getting a top European passport for your family is the primary driver then this will still undoubtedly be on offer. With the world in turmoil, I think Portugal being voted 3rd most peaceful place on earth adds a huge amount to buy in any region.

350,000 Golden Visa in Lisbon Portugal 2022

We don’t like to apply pressure, but this specific sector in Lisbon is now running out of stock with no one buying new buildings to renovate as they are 1. too expensive and 2. We are 99% sure this will be stopped in Lisbon. So if you want a brand new renovated apartment in Lisbon for the 350,000 Golden Visa, you will need to act urgently.

We are available on all media platforms to help you with every part of the purchase. Please reach out and ask.

New Golden Visa Portugal laws in 2022. New property location and changes to the costs.

Getting a Golden visa in Portugal will change in 2021 after decisions are made by parliament in late 2020. The likely effect is to increase the amount of buyer for the 280,000 reduced residency investment in Portugal. This will be designed to push the buyer our of Lisbon city centre and give other regions increased investment. These could include inner areas around Porto, Silver Coast the Algarve and potentially the Azores and Madeira. But as it stands, nothing is decided, and after the COVID19 effect on the economy.

Latest update on the changes to the Golden Visa laws in Portugal December 2021

So we now understand that from July 2021 the Portugal Golden Visa as we know it will change as will the areas/cities and towns you can invest in. The main news is you will not be able to continue to buy a 350,000 Golden Visa in Lisbon Portugal or in Porto Portugal, this also applies to the 500,000 Golden Visa in Lisbon and Porto.

Will the Portugal Golden Visa continue in 2022?

The answer is yes and as PropertyLisbon has been a market leader in the renovation of buildings and sale of the 350,000 reduced cost rehabilitation Golden visa in Lisbon since 2014 we are still perfectly placed to help the buyer secure a city centre unit before JULY 2021 cut off.

If you cannot make the July cut off that’s also fine don’t worry! Portugal is a diverse and stunning country with many more regions that will qualify for the Golden Visa in low-density areas, many of which you will just have to be educated on. We are already the market leader for the lowest cost Golden visa in Portugal which is just 280,000 EURO. In this area, we make sure that will don’t just sell any old property as our investors prefer to have an EXIT strategy to get their money back out of Portugal in the future. So our deals are structured for security and income, taking most of the risk away.

Our focus for 2021 will be to sell off all our stock in Lisbon and Porto whilst in the background we are working hard on structuring new market-leading investments for the 280,000 Golden Visa and 350,000 Golden Visa in new locations outside of Lisbon and Porto… Sign up today to be the first to hear.
