The Portuguese Golden Visa program was launched by the Government to grant residential status to all real estate investors and their respective families wishing to invest in Portugal. This is available to any citizen born outside of the EU. Once the Golden Visa residency permit is granted, you will have the right to:

Work, Live and study within Portugal

Travel freely, without visa, through the 26 Schengen countries of the European Union;

You may also obtain Portuguese citizenship after a period of 5 (five) years, with the same rights of anyone born in Portugal and the European Union;

Right to family reunion in Portugal and the European Union. (Update to follow).
