Owning a house in Portugal is not in itself a basis for applying for a visa for legal residence in Portugal. It is necessary to understand what type of house you own in Portugal in order to see if it fits the parameters required for a Golden Visa. If you do not meet the requirements to apply for a Golden Visa, you need to apply for another one. It is necessary to analyze your situation first. Please note that with the acquisition of a residence visa, the holder automatically gains access to the possibility to reunite the family members. As for the criminal record, the rule regarding visas is that it is not possible to obtain a visa if you have been convicted of a crime punishable in Portugal, by a sentence involving deprivation of liberty of more than 1 year, even if the sentence has not been served, or the execution has been suspended. In this sense, it is necessary to understand what was the penalty applied to your husband first.
