The Golden Visa requires annual renewal with varying requirements by country. Stay informed, submit necessary documents and fees promptly to avoid visa status interruptions.
The Golden Visa in Portugal must be renewed every two years. The initial Golden Visa is granted for a period of two years, after which it can be renewed for additional two-year periods.
To renew the Golden Visa, you must demonstrate continued compliance with the program's requirements, including:
-
Investment: Maintaining your initial investment or making a new qualifying investment, depending on the type of investment you chose.
-
Residency Requirements: Demonstrating that you have spent at least 14 days in Portugal during each two-year period of the visa, or alternatively, 7 days if the applicant has a Portuguese residence card.
-
Legal and Tax Compliance: Ensuring that you are in compliance with all legal and tax obligations in Portugal.
The renewal process typically involves submitting updated documentation and undergoing a review by the Portuguese authorities. It’s advisable to start the renewal process well before your current visa expires to ensure a smooth continuation of your residency status.
