Can I still get a Portugal golden visa for €280,000 in a low-density area?
Ordem dos Advogados no. 67185P, checked active on · Answered
No new €280,000 property application is available. That figure came from the former €350,000 rehabilitation property route after a 20% low-density reduction. Portugal closed real-estate Golden Visa routes to new applicants on 7 October 2023. Transitional protection generally covers applications already submitted before the change and the renewal of residence permits granted under the former rules; it does not reopen the route for a new buyer. Current routes include job creation, €500,000 research, qualifying €500,000 funds, €500,000 company capitalisation with employment conditions, and the €250,000 cultural route. A 20% low-density reduction may apply only to the routes identified by law, not to the €500,000 fund minimum. Confirm any transitional case from its filing date and AIMA record.
