Today I’ll be taking you through the latest updates for the Portugal Golden Visa in 2025: including the legal position, the revamped process and new timelines to expect.

We’ll start with the basic background, before explaining a key issue seen last year: delays to the process. We’ll also look at what the government is now doing to tackle this issue, and what it means for new Portugal Golden Visa applicants in 2025. We’ll then move straight onto the 2025 investment landscape. We’ll first touch on the external factors, and explain why Portugal’s GV is coming under increasing pressure this year, and then look at internal factors within Portugal. Namely, how the new and improved immigration authority is tackling its capacity challenges through greater resources and a new-and-improved process that is dramatically improving efficiency. Much needed after the issues seen in 2024.

We’ll then take you through the updated process and timelines you can now expect on your GV journey, before diving into the 2025 investment landscape for the Portugal Golden Visa in earnest. We’ll explain what qualifies, what doesn’t, and look at the emerging trends being seen in the market now. There is a lot to unpick here so I recommend taking a look at a dedicated video on this topic (see the “Watch Next” section below), but we’ll still do a quick overview of the key topics of risk, selecting an investment and the main options available to you.
