So there goes the Golden Visa regime. No more need to purchase property of €300k anymore? Are the gates now open for the refugees?:o

They already were - although that's rather a diversion from the subject of the thread.

...But this is only seems to apply for non-Portuguese nationals, who have a contract of labour.... right?

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

As I read it the change applies to non EU passport holders who enter on a visa such as Schengen & it then allows them to apply for a D type residency/work visa whilst here in Portugal.

If I'm right, it'd be a massive help for people such as white Africans (amongst others) who need to get out of their own country, have the skills to earn a living here (even on a self employed basis) but lack the lump sum for the Golden Visa.

Aahhh... the fog clears. Ingenious pre-planning.
So, has Trump bought his place, or the development sit/s yet?... Being a golfer I guess he can ue the existing GV scheme to shift money on & off shore.

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

I could well have misunderstood it but if I have got it right it could make a massive difference to Portugal & many people with good skills but not so much capital & that can't be a bad thing.

Although I have to say I find it very surprising that Portugal can make it's own rules that don't toe the EU line.

One of Maddonas adopted has joined the Benfica academy ,
As the report said she will probably have the 500k as loose change.
Given the views of those coming from S.A.and Zimbabwe , Portugal is the last place I would want them.

I think it is only me and mfesharne that come from Africa and I for one, am not happy with this news.

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

That's a bit of a sweeping statement & perhaps verging very closely on racism don't you think?

Perhaps this might be a more reasonable way of justification for them coming in.

Is world ignoring white genocide?

I'll refrain from posting the more graphic details & images out of respect for the victims.

EMR has obviously never been to Africa. I had to send my kids to the UK as Africa is not meant for white people to live in. Me and wife had to flee to PT.

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

You're dead right on that.

Still, the good news is no-one shoots at you or tries to hijack you & there's no need to carry a sidearm here. ;)

I'm all for more Saffers under persecution being allowed in.

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

I think it depends on how you look at it....... As I see it, the rule change should make it easier for white Africans whatever their cultural backgrounds that have a good work ethic, skills & the culture to fit in to get out of the hole they're in & make a safe & successful new life & that can't be a bad thing.

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

Africa is a huge continent not a village.
You might as well say that you would not send your kids to Asia.
Given the past history of S.A. I can understand that those whise who benefited during those times are not comfortable or welcome now.
But moving their was their choice and in the case of some I know their reasons for going there were because of the government in power at that time.
They are not owed anything by the countries they left.

Re: Non EU residency rule change
 

Although it could be argued that the vast majority of white Africans come from a European background & are far more culturally related to Europe than those currently trying to get to Europe in blow up boats etc.
