葡萄牙的官方公报—Diário da República发表了最新的葡萄牙移民法令变更。
According to the newly published decree, AIMA allows online submission of applications for residence permits for family reunification.
AIMA has also pledged to provide other residence permit application services in the future, starting with the application for family reunification. Looking forward to this day!
*AIMA was established on 29 October 2023 and is responsible for the entry, residence, exit and deportation of foreign nationals. It replaces part of the operations of the former Immigration and Borders Service (SEF).
The Portuguese immigration process has been continuously reformed to make the application process more efficient and online, which greatly facilitates the immigration applicant and makes it more transparent.
Compared with Malta, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus, Portugal is currently the easiest EU (Schengen) country to naturalize.
✅ Citizenship is faster
Earlier this month, the Portuguese Parliament approved several changes to the Citizenship Code, the most significant benefit for applicants is that they can apply for naturalization within five years from the first day of submitting their immigration application. It will only take effect after the president's signature.
This means:
⭕ The applicant's naturalization will be faster than obtaining a permanent residence card
At present, the permanent residence card is still accumulated for 5 years from the date of issuance of the card, not from the date of submission of the application.
⭕ Faster payouts without compromising identity
As we all know, Portugal invests first and then submits an immigration application, and after 5 years, whether it is a permanent residence or naturalization, you can sell your property or redeem the fund. If the new law comes into effect, not only will people be able to naturalize earlier, but they will also be able to sell their property or redeem their funds sooner, without affecting their status.
✅ Newborn naturalization on arrival
As long as one parent has held a residence card for 1 year, the child will be naturalized. The conditions for naturalization of newborns and minors born in Portugal have been significantly reduced.
✅ How to immigrate to Portugal now
Since October 2023, the "home purchase immigration" in the golden visa has been officially shut down. So if you want to immigrate to Portugal in 2024 and in the future, you can buy a fund.
Invest 500,000 euros to buy a Portuguese fund that meets the requirements of the immigration department, and it can also be transferred to permanent residence after 5 years, and one person invests in three generations of immigrants.
Weikai customer story sharing:
The husband and wife already have Hong Kong SAR status, applied for the Portuguese immigration program in 2014, applied for naturalization at the end of 2019, and obtained a passport and citizenship card in June 2021. My son is studying at a prestigious school in the UK, and the whole family likes Portugal very much, and it is convenient to get back and forth. After graduation, children are very flexible whether they stay in the UK or go to other EU countries.
