    Portugal Golden Visa Processing Time Tracker

    This tracker records the Portugal golden visa processing time at each AIMA stage, from aggregated case data and from dates reported by lawyers and applicants. A stage appears only once it has at least 5 cases, and only as totals: the number of cases, the median and the middle half of waits in days. No single case is ever shown.

    Reported Portugal Golden Visa Processing Times

    No stage has 5 cases yet. A stage appears here once it does.

    Stages with fewer than 5 cases are not shown. "Middle half" is the range from the 25th to the 75th percentile.

    The official clock and what we hear

    AIMA's published legal decision period is 90 days after the in-person application (AIMA FAQ). Lawyers answering questions on this site describe longer waits in practice; read their answers in Questions. For sourced planning estimates by programme, see our guide to golden visa processing times. Neither is counted in the tracker above.

    Add your dates

    Lawyers and applicants: send the date the application was submitted, each stage reached and the date it was reached to sarah@goldenvisalawyers.com. We publish totals only, for stages with at least 5 cases, and never names, dates or case details.
