SEF finally allows new submissions on the Golden Visa platform
15 June 2022
After six long months of waiting, Portugal's Borders and Immigration Service (SEF) reopened the Golden Visa portal to submit new applications.
Law firms and investment advisors were completely unable to submit new processes since 31st of December 2021, due to the new investment regulations.
This is a very good sign that the Portuguese Golden Visa should finally return to its normal and efficient function, as it used to be.
