Even though the Golden Visa no longer allows real estate purchases, you can still pair a property investment with the D7 and get Portuguese Residency.
Acquiring real estate in Portugal is a practical and strategic choice for D7 Visa applicants, offering stability, financial benefits, and a smoother residency process.
Since property purchase is a separate process from the D7 Visa, you can get any type of real estate in Portugal and use that residential address for your D7 Visa process.
