• The Golden Visa Programme Portuguese Residence Permit by Investment

The Golden Visa Programme enables non-EU citizens to obtain a residence permit in Portugal through investment activities with the minimum 5 years investment period.

 

The Portuguese Government launched the programme in 2012.

 

The investment can be made by the investor as an individual or through a Portuguese Limited Liability Company.

 

The Portugal Golden Visa Programme continues

 

The programme is continuing but investment types and amounts have changed. On 19 July 2023 the Portuguese parliament passed a bill ending the real estate route to the Golden Visa. Once this is signed into law (earliest end of September 2023) it will no longer be possible to apply for the Portuguese Golden Visa under the €280,000 or €350,000 real estate route. The main route to the Golden Visa will then be Fund Investment which is set at €500,000.
