Portugal plans to tighten controls over residence permits issued to non-European property investors after an investigation into the country’s “golden-visa” program led to the resignation of a minister and several arrests.

The new rules will include audits by a unit of the Ministry of Internal Administration and more people will be involved in the decision-making process, Vice Premier Paulo Portas said today.
