What are the restrictions of renovating properties purchased for my Golden Visa application in Portugal?
I purchased an old house located in Lisbon’s old town district and would like to renovate it. The seller once told me that this house was of historic significance. What should I do before I start the renovation to make sure I will not violate any relevant policies? Could any violations impact my Golden Visa status?
