Golden Visa

The Golden Visa is a type of Residence Permit granted to non-EU/EFTA nationals who make a minimum investment in Portugal as framed in the Aliens Act.

Golden Visa holders receive a Temporary Residence Permit valid for two years and renewable every two years. After five years, Golden Visa holders can apply for a Permanent Residence Permit in Portugal, provided they meet the remaining requirements.

Families can apply together and be granted residence permits under the same conditions. Eligible family members are: the spouse or common-law partner; children under the age of 18 or, if over 18, single, dependent on the couple or on one of the spouses/partners and enrolled in school or university; parents and in-laws over the age of 65 financially dependent on the applicant; minor siblings under guardianship of the applicant.

Despite the exclusion of the real estate options, the Golden Visa programme still foresees five investment routes.
