Can I redeem my golden visa fund units before five years without losing my Portugal residence permit?

Do not redeem while the ARI still depends on the investment. Early redemption may end the qualifying investment and jeopardise renewal or the permit. Exit only after an independent permanent status is granted or after citizenship has been granted, depending on which will occur first.
