For most clients in your bracket, yes — Portugal's pathway to citizenship after five years is still uniquely strong in the EU, and the closure only removed one of several routes. The most common substitution is the qualifying-fund route (€500,000 in approved Portuguese venture or private-equity funds), which preserves both the residency threshold and the asset-recoverable structure. Other live routes include capital transfer (€1.5m) and the cultural-donation route (€250,000 to Portuguese cultural heritage).
The key advantage Portugal retains over Greece, Malta MPRP and Spain (now closed) is the seven-day-per-year minimum stay and the citizenship eligibility at year five. You give up the asset-recoverable nature of property, but funds are typically liquid after the residency period and the regulatory environment is now more predictable than during the 2022–2023 reform cycle.
