GOLDEN VISA PORTUGAL
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT
Located in the southwest of Europe and at the convergence of three continents - American, European, and African, it is a central and strategic point for critical international routes. In addition, Portugal is one of the best places to live, with great food, weather, and beautiful landscapes. Remarkable ex-pats have chosen to invest and live a new life in Portugal.
The program
The Golden Visa program allows non-EU citizens free access to the Schengen area, obtain a Portuguese passport for themselves and their families, and travel instantly and freely. Portugal is also one of the three safest countries in the world, with a favorable natural environment for realizing business opportunities and only one application for the investor and their direct family.
The new generation of Golden Visa investors is entirely different from anything we've seen before. That's why the ease, mobility, and low physical presence required is, along with the other advantages of the Portuguese Golden Visa, one of the most attractive programs in the EU.
This program gives high-net-worth individuals the option of physically relocating to another jurisdiction and becoming residents of that state with full legal rights, including the right to live, work, study, and receive healthcare.
Portugal has an excellent reputation and is considered one of the world's most peaceful nations, with a high quality of life. It is among the oldest nations in Europe, with a rich history, lively culture, exceptional cuisine, stunning beaches, and idyllic countryside.
