Why Portugal is the Top Choice for Golden Visa Investors

Portugal’s Golden Visa program is one of the most attractive investment migration programs in the world, ranking No.1 in 2024 according to Henley & Partners. This program provides an exceptional opportunity for high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) seeking EU residency, financial growth, and a pathway to citizenship.

Key Benefits of the Portugal Golden Visa
  • Fast Track to Citizenship: Obtain Portuguese citizenship after 5 years without the need for permanent residency.

  • Freedom of Movement: Visa-free travel across the Schengen Zone.

  • Attractive Tax Benefits: Non-resident investors enjoy zero tax on dividends and capital gains.

  • Low Residency Requirement: Spend only 7 days in Portugal in the first year and 14 days in each subsequent 2-year period.

  • Family Reunification: Include your spouse, dependent children, and parents in the application.

  • Access to the EU: Live, work, and study across the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA).
