AIMA and law
Operational answers separate AIMA procedure, consolidated law, regulatory decrees and reform history.
Source hierarchy is explicit.Verified legal intelligence
Official sources, confidence levels and review boundaries.
Yieldra should answer with official sources, verification date, confidence level and clear boundaries. This library reduces operational dependence, but it does not replace individual Portuguese immigration counsel.
Direct, conditional, review
Each answer should classify whether it is directly supported, fact-dependent or requires professional counsel.
No false certainty.Questions become work
When personal facts matter, Yieldra turns the question into a structured lawyer brief with facts and missing evidence.
From answer to action.Versioned knowledge
Sources are tracked with update cadence, verification date and review area so stale content can be isolated.
Trust requires maintenance.Answer policy
How the app should use legislation and source material.
Every legal answer should point to AIMA, Diário da Republica, CMVM or another primary authority.
Answers should state the latest editorial or automated source-check date used by the app.
Separate direct answers, conditional answers and topics that require professional review.
When a question depends on personal facts, documents or strategy, the app prepares a lawyer briefing.
The app can organise criteria and evidence, but it must not recommend specific investments.
Never promise ARI approval, permanent residence or citizenship. Explain requirements and risks.
ARI and procedure
Use AIMA for the operational Golden Visa procedure and Diário da Republica for the legal basis. When they appear to diverge, the app should state the source hierarchy and escalate.
Relevant legal reforms
The app should use the consolidated law for operational answers and the amending law to explain the source of specific reforms, including the removal of real-estate investment routes.
Use the consolidated version for current operational reading, and the amending law to explain when and why the change occurred.
Nationality and naturalisation
Nationality answers are high risk because eligibility depends on dates, residence history, family profile, language evidence, criminal record and transitional rules. The app should explain the rule and prepare a legal review brief.
Funds and regulatory verification
CMVM checks help verify authorised entities, but they do not make a fund suitable, profitable or capital-protected. The app should separate immigration eligibility, regulatory status and investment risk.
Regulatory verification is not financial advice and does not remove capital, liquidity, suitability or concentration risk.
