For three of the surviving routes, the minimum quantitative requirement is reduced by 20% when the investment is carried out in a low-density territory: ≥10 jobs → 8 jobs; ≥€500,000 R&D → €400,000; ≥€250,000 arts / cultural-heritage → €200,000. The reduction does NOT apply to the qualifying-funds route (≥€500,000) or the company + 5 jobs route (≥€500,000), and none of the investment activities may be directed, directly or indirectly, to real estate.●Verified ·

Notes
Read verbatim from the DR consolidated Art. 3.º (node lei/2007-67564445-907286706, viewed 2026-08-28): n.º 2 — "O montante ou requisito quantitativo mínimo da atividade de investimento prevista nas subalíneas ii), v) e vi) da alínea d) do número anterior pode ser inferior em 20 %, quando a atividade seja efetuada em territórios de baixa densidade." n.º 3 defines those territories per Portaria n.º 208/2017 (< 100 inhabitants/km² or GDP per capita < 75% of the national average). The reduction therefore survives Lei 56/2023 for the jobs (ii), R&D (v) and arts (vi) routes only — NOT the fund (vii) or company+jobs (viii) routes.
