Why Portugal

• EU Residency & Citizenship Path: Portugal offers one of the most flexible and rewarding Golden Visa programs.
• Strong Passport: Visa-free access to 190+ countries after citizenship.
• Low Stay Requirements: Only 7 days per year in Portugal.
• Top Quality of Life: Safe, sunny, affordable, and culturally rich.
• Tax Efficiency: Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) tax regime for qualifying investors.

What is the Golden Visa

The Portugal Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment program launched in 2012. It allows non-EU investors to:

• Obtain residency in Portugal
• Enjoy visa-free travel within the Schengen Area
• Apply for permanent residency or citizenship after 5 years
• Bring their immediate family (spouse, children, parents)

Why Investment via Funds

Portugal now restricts real estate-based Golden Visas. Investment funds are the preferred route:

• €500,000 minimum investment in eligible private equity or venture capital funds
• All partner funds are regulated by the Portuguese Securities Market Commission (CMVM)
• You can select a sector to invest according to your preferences (sectors such as technology, renewable energy, healthcare, agriculture, export-focused industries, etc.)
• Professional fund managers handle your investment
• Option for dividend payouts or reinvestment

Investment Protection and Governance

Each investor receives:

• Subscription confirmation issued by the fund manager
• Custody statement via the bank or regulated financial intermediary
• Proof of fund registration with CMVM

These documents are part of the compliance submission to Portuguese immigration authorities and full legal support ensures audit-ready documentation and transparent processes
