lower, when the activities are carried out in

100 inhabitants per km2 or an internal
product (GDP) per capita below 75% of the
national average.

3. HAS THE GOLDEN VISA LEGAL REGIME
CHANGED?
The law that regulates the Golden Visa regime is
the Law No. 23/2007, of the 4th of July, which
regulates the entry, stay, departure and removal
of foreigners from national territory, in which this
regime became part of following the changes
introduced by the Law No. 29/2012, of 9 August.
The Golden Visa regime, in particular, was
subsequently subject to changes in 2015, 2017
and 2018, accompanied by the respective
updates to the respective Regulatory Decree No.
84/2007, of 05 November.
Up to the present date (February 2020), no
further changes have been made, being the
regime in force and without limitations,
although on February 6 it was approved, in
discussion of the State Budget Bill for 2020 a
legislative authorization that grants the
Government with the power to legislate directly
on the Golden Visa regime and to limit the
eligibility of real estate investments according to
their geographic location. This means that
changes to the Golden Visa regime may be
introduced in the future.

4. WHAT IS A LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION?
A Legislative Authorization is a mere
authorization given to the Government, at its
request (through a proposal) to legislate on
matters that fall within the competence of the
Parliament. The legislative authorization must
define the object, the meaning, the extent and
its duration. If the Government does not use the
legislative authorization, after the end of the
period granted, this authorization expires and
cannot be used to the extent that the power
attributed to the Government to legislate is
extinguished, unless its renewal is requested.
In other words, a Legislative Authorization does
not change, by itself, or immediately, a law or
regulation in force. It needs to be implemented
through a law, to be presented by the
Government, discussed and published, following
a normal legislative procedure.

5. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE, MEANING, EXTENT AND
DURATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION
APPROVED IN FEBRUARY?
The content of the legislative authorization is as
follows:
1. The Government is authorized to review the
regime of residence permits for investment, (..),
changing, for future concession applications, its
scope.
2. The purpose and extent of the legislative
authorization provided for in the preceding
paragraph is to favor the promotion of
investment in low-density regions, as well as
investment in urban requalification, in cultural
heritage, in activities of high environmental or
social value, in investment productive and job
creation:
a) Restricting the investments provided for in
subparagraphs iii) acquisition of properties
for 500 thousand euros
and iv) acquisition
of properties and their rehabilitation for 350
thousand euros
to the territory of the CIM's
of the interior and the Autonomous Regions
of Madeira and the Azores ;
b) Increasing the minimum value of
investments and the number of jobs to be
created ;
3. The provisions of the preceding paragraph
shall not prejudice:
a) the possibility of renewing residence
permits granted under the current regime;
nor
b) the possibility of granting or renewing
residence permits for family reunification ,
when the investment residence permit has
been granted under the current regime.
4. The present legislative authorization has the
duration of the economic year referred to in this
law.

6. WHAT CAN THIS LEGISLATIVE AUTHORIZATION
MEAN?
Legislative authorization appears to be granted
with:
Purposes:
Maintain in force all investment options
currently foreseen, updating the minimum
investment values;
Limit the eligibility of investments in real
estate according to their geographical
location in certain areas of the interior of the
Portuguese territory;
Extend the regime to investments in
activities of high environmental or social

value, which may give rise to the already
discussed Green Visa.
Safeguards:
The maintenance of the rights acquired by
the ARI holders under the regime currently
in force - namely renewal and family
reunification, even after the entry into force
of any changes to the regime;
The inapplicability of any changes to
concession applications that are submitted
