ABOUT PORTUGAL

Portugal, situated in southern Europe on the Iberian Peninsula, shares its border with Spain. The country’s coastal position along the Atlantic Ocean has greatly shaped its culture, with national culinary delights like salt cod and grilled sardines, and its renowned Algarve beaches attracting visitors from around the world. Portugal’s architecture showcases its historical prominence during the 1500s-1800s as a formidable maritime empire. As a member of the United Nations, the European Union, NATO, the eurozone, the OECD, and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries, Portugal holds a significant global presence.

THE PORTUGUESE RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT PROGRAM

The inception of the Golden Visa program in Portugal dates back to 2012, designed to attract foreign investments to the country. Since its establishment, over 20,000 investors and their families have already benefitted from this program.

With your Golden Visa permit, you will be enrolled in the central system of the Schengen Area, granting you unrestricted access to all European countries without the need for additional visas.

Upon completion of five years, you become eligible to apply for permanent residency and citizenship. The Portuguese passport ranks among the top 10 most powerful travel documents, enabling visa-free travel to 182 countries.

To qualify for the Portuguese Golden Visa program, applicants must fulfill the following criteria:

  • Purchase a property of at least €350,000 if older than 30 years and needs refurbishing else a minimum of €500,000. A 20% reduction on the minimum required amounts applies if the property is purchased on a low-density area.
  • Pay application, processing and legal fees.
  • Submit proof that investment funds originate from abroad.
  • Have a clean police record.
  • Visit and stay in Portugal at least 7 days for the first year then at least 14 days every two years.
