Changes: Police Clearance Report Requested Over 16 Years Old

Even though majority in Portugal is considered only over 18 years old, the criminal responsibility starts over 16 years old.  In the past we have been requesting Police Clearance Reports only for adults when applying for Investors Visa but since the last changes we will continue to fulfill Portuguese law and request criminal responsibility for all persons over 16 years old when joining the Golden Visa / Investors Visa Program.

Please note that Police Clearance report should be issued on your residence area from last 3 years and should be translated into English or Portuguese and stamped at correspondent Portugal Embassy from issuing document Country. For more informations about it, please consult any member of our team for more details.

Police Clearance Report is a document issued by Police or Local authorities confirming that person in case have no police record or in case there are records which type of records are there. Please note that according to our understanding is not a requirement to have a clean Police Clearance Report since the crimes for what you have been condemned might not be translated into Portuguese law. The important information is that for any case where your police clearance report has some records, we are able to provide as much information as possible about that matter.

For more specific information feel free to get in contact with us for a better understanding. For those who did not provide Police Clearance Report for minors over 16 years old before, be aware that when renewing your golden visa residence permit card you will have to present it.

What is the advantage of having Golden Visa or Investors Visa ?

Portugal Citizenship by Investment Golden Visa Passport and Residency Permit

 

In reward of the investment done in Portugal there are several benefits which you can start to enjoy when you get a Golden Visa or an Investors Visa as usually called:

1 – Get in and out of Schengen Space without the need of a Schengen Visa;

2 – Work and live in Schengen Area including Portugal;

3 – Move freely within Schengen Area without needing an authorization;

4 – Enjoy the benefit of family reunification and extend the benefits to all direct family members;

5 – Being able to get Permanent Residency after 5 years (Under current legislation)

6 – Request Portuguese Nationality / Citizenship after 6 years (Under current legislation)

Those are the main benefits all investors get once applying for Golden Visa or Investors Visa in Portugal.

Does not matter if you plan to live or not in Portugal in full term basis since the requirement only asks for 7 days in 1st year and 14 days every 2 years of permanency in Portugal. For some investors the main motivation are to be able to get Citizenship after the 6 years period and for others is more about getting the opportunity to travel within Europe (Schengen Area) in a easier and faster way without any restrictions on time or number of times.

Playing safe for your future or your family future can also be one of the main motivations for most of investors. Some areas of the globe are more unstable and require more attention since they easy become a war territory. Moving your family from one day to another to a safe place requires lots of authorizations which in a period of chaos become quite difficult to  obtain.

From our side what we can tell you is that Portugal is a very safe place, education is fairly very good and there is lots of space to accommodate more people in this paradise on earth.  You are welcome to become one of us.
