Portugal Residency and Citizenship by Investment
Portugal’s Residency by Investment Program provides global investors with a direct and secure route to European residency, permanent residency, and citizenship. Designed for those seeking flexibility, opportunity, and lifestyle benefits, it begins with a temporary residence permit — the Golden Visa — and leads to permanent residency after five years, followed by citizenship eligibility.
Portugal combines world-class infrastructure, safety, healthcare, and education with one of the most attractive tax and residency frameworks in Europe.
Pathway to EU citizenship: After 5 years of legal residence (through Golden Visa), investors may apply for Portuguese citizenship.
Schengen Area access: Residency allows free travel across 29 Schengen countries.
No full-time residency requirement: Only minimal stay is needed to maintain the Golden Visa.
Family inclusion: Spouse, dependent children, and parents can be included.
High quality of life: Portugal offers excellent healthcare, education, safety, and infrastructure.
Applicants can qualify via one of the following routes:
Invest €500,000 in qualifying Portuguese investment funds supporting startups or venture capital initiatives.
Capital Transfer / Business Investment:
Minimum €1 million capital transfer to Portugal.
Spouse
Dependent children (typically under 18 or students under 26)
Parents (in some cases)
All included family members enjoy the same residency rights and access to education and healthcare.
Portugal offers a stable European economy, high quality of life, and access to EU citizenship within 5 years. Its Golden Visa allows investors to live, work, and study in Portugal while enjoying visa-free travel across the Schengen Area and a strong potential investment return through real estate or business.
