What an alert looks like
Four parts, in this order, and nothing else.
- What changed. One or two sentences, with the date it takes effect.
- The official source. A link to the law, the gazette or the agency page, and the date we read it.
- What it means if you hold the option. For people who have the permit, or want it, and mostly live elsewhere.
- What to do. Usually nothing. When it matters: check your renewal, re-run the quiz, or book a free call.

Why alerts, not news
Most golden visa news is noise for someone who holds the option: announcements that never become law, and rumors about thresholds. An alert goes out when an official source changes something, and it tells you whether it touches you. Want a personal answer instead? Take the two minute quiz or read Holding the option.
