Need Some Help? Golden Visas Explained

Portugal’s Golden Visa program, also known as the residence permit for investment activity (ARI), is a fantastic way for non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens to obtain residency in Portugal with a minimum investment in the country. The Golden Visa program, launched in 2012, the program attracts foreign investment by providing various options, such as Golden Visa-approved Portuguese investment funds, company creation, and donations, with minimum investment amounts depending on your preferred choice. Golden Visa residency by investment is €500k, which can be split between several regulated and approved Portuguese investment funds. Alternatively, you can invest in a business or start-up based in Portugal. Upon successful application, you will receive a residence permit valid for five years, which can lead to permanent residency and even citizenship after fulfilling minimum stay requirements.
