    Can UK citizens get the Portugal golden visa, and does it get around the 90/180-day Schengen limit?

    In short

    Yes. UK citizens are eligible as third-country nationals. A Portuguese residence permit allows residence in Portugal beyond 90/180; short visits to other Schengen countries remain limited to 90 days in any 180-day period.
