As we known, all citizens with valid residence permit in European Union have freedom of traveling around European Union Countries. In this sense, all citizens from non-EU countries with a valid residence permit should be able to freely travel within European Union Space (Schengen and Non Schengen Countries).

As recently British Prime Minister David Cameron is restricting the access to foreign citizens to UK, they have been rejecting access of Non-European Citizens with valid residence permits in European Countries.

As principle, this violates the main European Union statements and recently a Colombian Citizen with valid residence permit in Spain have appealed in UK Courts based on the fact that was rejected to enter UK  with Valid European Union Residence Permit and won the case with European Union Court counseling.

For all Investors which hold residence permit cards from Portugal please note that by law and principle you should be granted access into UK for traveling purposes not for residence or work purposes however due to the latest behavior  of UK Immigration Border Offices it becomes unstable to take it as a guaranteed entry. It is very important that in case you decide to try entering UK (at your own risk) with Portugal Residence Permit Card that you state that you are living in Portugal, otherwise your entry will be refused.

Attached please find a newspaper article with a court case with this matters.
