Frequently Asked Questions

Key Features

The Golden Visa Program offers a straightforward path to Portuguese residency through various investment routes. While real estate investment was initially a cornerstone of the program, recent changes have shifted the focus to other options. As of 2024, the program no longer accepts property investments for qualification. Instead, it now emphasizes alternative avenues such as investment funds, scientific research, and cultural heritage preservation.
One of the program’s most attractive features is its minimal stay requirement. Investors need to spend just seven days in Portugal during the first year and fourteen days in subsequent two-year periods to maintain their residency status. This flexibility allows participants to enjoy the benefits of European residency without the need for full-time relocation.

Eligibility Requirements

To qualify for the Portugal Golden Visa in 2024, applicants must meet specific criteria:
1. Be a non-EU/EEA/Swiss national
2. Be at least 18 years old
3. Have a clean criminal record from both their home country and Portugal
4. Make a qualifying investment using funds from outside Portugal

What Are The Investment Requirements?

Any non-EU/EFTA national can apply for a golden visa in Portugal. Applicants must make at least one of the investments below, either as an individual business person or via a business set up in the EU.
You must fit at least one of the following categories to claim Portuguese residency by investment:
A minimum of €500,000 subscription in a qualifying fund
Create at least 10 new full-time job positions in Portugal
Create a minimum of eight new full-time jobs in a low-density area in Portugal
Investments of €250,000 or more in preserving the national heritage
Investing at least €500,000 in a research and development activity

Fund Subscription

One of the most popular routes for the Portugal Golden Visa is the investment fund option. This requires a minimum investment of €500,000 in qualifying Portuguese funds. These funds are typically private equity or venture capital funds that focus on various sectors of the Portuguese economy, excluding real estate.
The fund subscription route offers several advantages:
1. Diversification: Funds are required to maintain a certain level of diversification, spreading risk across multiple investments.
2. Professional management: Experienced fund managers oversee the investments, relieving investors of day-to-day management responsibilities.
3. Potential returns: Depending on the fund’s focus, investors may enjoy significant annual yields and capital appreciation.
4. Tax efficiency: Some funds offer tax benefits, particularly for non-residents of Portugal.

Citizenship And Permanent Residence

With a Portuguese golden visa, you can apply for permanent residence and citizenship after five years of residence.
