Legal information

Terms of Use

The conditions for using PIMA’s information, source references and enquiry tools.

Key considerations

  • Content provides general information and does not assess individual circumstances.
  • An enquiry is not an immigration application or a professional engagement.
  • Official texts and the terms of any separately engaged professional remain distinct from this website.

Using the information

PIMA provides explanations and references concerning Portuguese residence by investment and related issues. You may read the pages, follow the cited sources and use the material to prepare questions for a qualified professional.

The content does not determine whether a particular investment, applicant or family member meets the legal requirements. It is not a recommendation to invest, a financial promotion of a named product, personalised tax advice or legal representation. Decisions should take account of your circumstances and the current applicable rules.

Sources and currency

Legislation, administrative practice and official guidance can change. A page’s stated information date describes its editorial reference point and is not a promise that no later development exists. Check the underlying source and relevant effective dates before acting.

Links to an authority, court, regulator or other publisher help readers verify information. PIMA does not control the linked website, its availability or its data handling. Translations and summaries do not replace the authoritative text. Errors can be raised through the editorial correction process.

Enquiries and professional contacts

The enquiry forms send a message to PIMA. They do not submit an application to AIMA, reserve an appointment or confirm that a professional has accepted your matter. Check the confirmation or error message after submission; do not assume a message was received if an error is shown.

Requesting an introduction does not create a professional engagement. Services, fees, responsibilities, confidentiality arrangements and advice must be agreed separately with the relevant professional. PIMA will obtain your agreement before forwarding your personal details to a proposed professional and disclose any relevant commercial relationship.

Responsible use and reproduction

Use the website without attempting to bypass its access controls, disrupt its operation, impersonate another person or introduce harmful content. Do not put another person’s confidential or sensitive records into an initial enquiry.

You can share links to this website. When referring to PIMA’s original commentary, identify the source and preserve its context. Reproduction beyond uses permitted by law should be discussed with the relevant rights holder. Official publications and third-party material remain subject to their own applicable terms.

Availability and legal rights

The website is operated by Aliança Portuguesa para a Migração por Investimento. The Legal Notice provides its contact details. The Privacy Policy explains the use of enquiry information and the separate choice concerning analytics.

Access may be interrupted for maintenance, security or technical reasons. No assurance is given of a residence decision, nationality decision, investment performance or response time. These terms do not exclude liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, remove mandatory legal rights or establish a paid service contract.
