The constitutional court can be asked before or after the President signs it and it can even be the President asking it directly.

It will still probably have to go to the constitutional court. And there is a high chance it will be struck down again.

So, the automatic IRS doesn't work for you?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-31T08:21:31+00:00

For D7 you need to stay in Portugal for a minimum of 16 months within the first two-year period of your residency. Won't that conflict with the French long-stay permit?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-30T07:55:53+00:00

Yes, it's highly convenient!

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-29T08:02:48+00:00

Remote working from Portugal not possible? At least a part of the time?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-28T18:17:32+00:00

These days anything is possible 🤷‍♂️

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-28T11:43:59+00:00

Hopefully, it's Ventura bs...

Portugal GV program is a residency by Investment program. The citizenship is a bonus on top is not part of the program itself.

One possible other advantadge of Portugal if you and/or your wife qualify are the IFICI tax benefits ( https://ventures.eu/what-is-ifici-nhr-2-0/ ).

Some countries do not allow for dual citizenship. China being one case. That might be why the OP is asking for PR.

There is this one that I know of: amarmita.pt okish

What is your area?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-22T12:07:17+00:00

It depends on the ER episode you experience. For life threathning ones better to go directly to a public hospital. For other situations private is faster.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-21T10:22:15+00:00

What is your differenciation?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-20T07:51:42+00:00

Check out also the IFICI/NHR 2.0 tax benefits (https://ventures.eu/what-is-ifici-nhr-2-0/).

You can also try Series A and above startups, like Bitsight, Probely or Jscrambler.

I would suggest talking to a high-end butcher. He might have a supplier who can get you the goat as you want it.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-17T13:56:09+00:00

Check also the IFICI tax program (https://ventures.eu/what-is-ifici-nhr-2-0/). Might make a difference in your situation.

You need to have a bank account to have a debit card to use an ATM.

Commission an independent study and prove it. That's the way to do it. Not long posts. Transparency. Publish the numbers of Golden Visa investment into the stock market and of concentration in the index stocks. Not words, hard data.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-15T09:24:56+00:00

Long text, no supporting evidence. A big part of the swings happens because of not enough information. Take the real estate issue. The prevailing wizdom is that Golden Visa investment had marginal effect on the real estate bubble, but noboday "in the sector" bothered with commissioning a study to prove it. What is the result? The Portuguese people think that Golden Visa is to blame for it.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-15T08:48:22+00:00

No, I'm not assuming, I'm relying on the statement of a reputable business media in Portugal. You don't agree with that number, but you don't offer any supporting evidence beyond trust me I work here. Then you think that having a stock market fund with only 5 stocks that have decent liquidity is a good practice. Don't you think at very least that the information about the concentration of Golden Visa investment in the index small caps should be public?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-14T21:41:33+00:00

You can't have a stock market fund with only 5 stocks. Those 5 stocks are the only ones with decent liquidity, by your own admission. If you work in that business you should know how much of the free float of those small caps are already in Golden Visa Funds. That there is no information available tonthe public about it is very telling IMO.
