Are you passionate about the arts? By investing in or donating at least €250,000 to qualified projects in Portuguese arts, national heritage, or culture, you can support meaningful cultural initiatives while securing your Portuguese Golden Visa.

Are you an entrepreneur or investor looking to expand into Portugal? This option supports job creation and strengthens the local economy.
You can start by incorporating a new company in Portugal, requiring an initial share capital investment of €500,000 and the creation of at least five permanent jobs.

These options provide a strategic way to expand your business presence and secure residency while supporting economic development in Portugal.
No, it is not. The government initially proposed ending the Golden Visa program for future applications in February 2023. Since then, consultations have been held with various business stakeholders. On July 19th, 2023, a final bill was presented in the Portuguese Parliament, which suggested keeping the Golden Visa program but eliminating the real estate investment options of €280,000 and €350,000. The bill was approved, and the new legislation came into effect in October 2023. The primary route to the Golden Visa is now through Fund Investment, set at €500,000.
Yes.
Investors have the option to use funds from their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and solo 401K plans to support their investment activities.
By tapping into these retirement accounts, they can both broaden the diversity of their portfolios and gain access to opportunities for international residency and citizenship programs.
Family reunification is a major advantage of the program. The primary applicant for the visa can include:
You will not be taxed on your worldwide income unless you live in Portugal for 183 days or more in a year.
As a non-tax resident, you are only required to pay taxes in Portugal on income earned within the country, such as rental income from a property.
For foreign investors, there is no tax on investment gains or income from funds in Portugal, but such income may be subject to taxation in your home country as foreign income.
