Golden Visa

Known as the Golden Residence Permit Programme, Portugal’s residence by investment program has been operating since October 2012. It is the ideal solution for non-European citizens seeking the freedom to live and work in Portugal and to travel across the Schengen Area. The Programme is open to investors and their families, who may all obtain residency of Portugal. Residency may be obtained even while maintaining an alternative residence elsewhere. The Golden Residence Permit can be renewed every two years, provided the residency requirements have been fulfilled.
