Background
Ms Lam, from Hong Kong, applied with her husband, two children and her parents. She wanted European residence for three generations.
Main concern
Being able to include her parents mattered most.
Our approach
We confirmed the Portugal Golden Visa covers parents, chose a qualifying fund and prepared the whole family’s documents.
Process and outcome
The family received Portuguese residence in about 24 months.
Adviser’s comment
Covering parents is one reason the Portugal Golden Visa appeals to three-generation families.
Portugal Golden Visa application process
- Assessment and fund selection (2–4 weeks): We assess your eligibility and compare qualifying funds.
- Accounts and investment (1–2 months): Obtain a tax number, open a bank account and complete the investment.
- Application (Per scheduling): Apply online and attend biometrics.
- Residence card (Usually 18–24 months or longer): AIMA has a large backlog, so processing takes longer. Once approved, collect your residence card and renew it on schedule.
