Portugal Golden Visa

Golden Visa through real estate investment

The Golden Visa program robustly promoted by the Portuguese government has proven to be the investors’ most preferred scheme in Europe. Thanks to the various investment channels and given its benefits and flexibility, the program empowers investors from third country nationals to enter the Portuguese territory and the European Schengen area freely by obtaining a temporary residence permit to conduct business activities.

The Golden Visa is effectively a residence permit issued to non-EU nationals who make significant investments in Portugal via capital investment or investments in real estate and or creating employment opportunities. The investor has to keep the investment for such minimum period of 5 years, and thereafter apply for a Permanent Residency card or the Portuguese nationality while continue renewing the Golden Visa for further periods of 2 years.

Why apply for the Golden Visa Portugal? 

• Visa-free Travel in Portugal and within the Schengen Zone of the EU for 90 days within any six-month period.

• Freedom to live and work in Portugal with Tax benefits: Option to become a " non-habitual resident " in Portugal for tax purposes, thus paying little or no tax for 10 years.
