SEF Appointment

Hello, Expat friends!

I hope this finds you well.

I have finally been asked to meet with SEF for my visa (Golden). The appointment is set for the 18th of May.

In reading the comments about these interviews, I am still a little nervous, (I don't know why, maybe the unknown?!)

I have gathered all the below information:

FBI criminal background check

US Local State criminal background check

Obtained my medical insurance

We own a home in the Algarve so we have the property investment

What I'm wondering is, how long will I need to be in Portugal for this process? I still live in the USA, and own a business which I'll need to get back to. (until I can retire)

Just wondering what I need to plan for.  Will I require more than one visit to the SEF? Or will this be a one and done kind of thing?

Thanks in advance for your help.
