According to the source, Russian nationals can still apply for Portuguese residence in 2026, including the Golden Visa, provided they are not subject to EU sanctions. The investment route is described as starting at €250,000 for investments in culture and national heritage; D7, D8, work, study and family-reunification routes are also available.
For a Russian national planning a move, this means that several legal residence routes remain available, although the investment option requires substantial capital and screening under EU sanctions rules. The source lists a €250,000 threshold for cultural investments and a possible 20% reduction in low-density areas, which may affect the choice of route and location. The development primarily concerns Russian investors, remote workers, financially independent applicants and families choosing among different residence grounds. It is worth attention for anyone considering Portugal in 2026, while current deadlines, fees and document requirements should be checked against AIMA’s requirements.
