It is possible for you to apply for Portuguese Golden Visa on your children’s behalf, as long as the property is bought under their names. The fact that the funds you will be using are not their own does not jeopardize the application, as long as the bank accounts where they are received are opened under the children’s names. However, both children would have to apply under different investments, as the Golden Visa program rules do not allow for the family regrouping of siblings. As such, each of your children would have to apply under independent applications, based on different investments. Also, as they are minors, as holders of the parental responsibilities, you and your wife would have to be the ones signing every necessary document for the applications to be submitted. These include the necessary power of attorneys, bank documents for opening their accounts and even the necessary forms in order to submit their applications, which have to be signed at SEF’s facilities upon their biometrics appointments.
