Did you know that you can obtain a residence permit by investing in Portugal?

Golden Residence

The recent changes to the legal rules on entry and stay of foreign nationals in Portugal have installed a mechanism allowing foreign nationals to acquire a Portuguese residence permit if they make investments in the country.
With the launch of this system, it is now possible to get a temporary residence permit without needing a residence visa in advance, if the foreign national, personally or through a company, makes an investment that leads to the creation of at least one of the following situations in Portugal:

• (A) Transfer of capital in an amount equal to or greater than EUR 1 000 000 ;
• (B) Creation of at least 10 jobs; or
• (C) Acquisition of real estate of a value equal to or greater than EUR 500 000.

The investment chosen by the applicant for the residence permit must have been made at the time the application for the residence permit is presented and must be maintained for a minimum period of five years from the date the residence permit is granted.
