I'm looking at the Portugal Golden Visa as an option to regain EU citizenship. Never been to Portugal so it's all a bit of a mystery to me (and of course travel makes it harder). When I search online, a load of options pop up for people with offices in HK.. has anyone used one of these? Any personal experience? It would obviously be more convenient to use a HK advisor, but not if they are useless/expensive/give bad advice......

Your best and free advisor is probably @Edwardstorm who moved there in August 2019

This company is run by westerners and has people based in HK and Portugal. Heard good reports ( but this was for Brits getting their residency before the deadline in Dec 2020, not specifically GV. They do contacts with banks, lawyers and judges estate agents in Portugal).

Watch out for dodgy registered lawyers…

You are doing many things through PoA, and with property investments worth hundreds of thousands of euros, you hopefully have a lawyer you can trust.

It really depends on what your ultimate goal is.
There are other options besides the golden visa, the D7 visa is one that is particularly popular among non-EU citizens. In the following link (sorry @sri, not sure if I can link to another forum ;-0 ) there is an excellent, up to date, overview of the various visa options with a focus on the D7 visa.
Mind you, it is specifically tailored for US citizens but obviously applies to all non EU folks.

We don't want to necessarily live in Portugal now though, which I think D7 required.
