Program & Benefits of Portugal Golden Visa
The Portugal Golden Visa program, also known as the residence permit for investment activity (ARI), is a residency by investment scheme designed for non-EU citizens.
Portugal launched the program in October 2012. The main objective was to attract international capital into the country, as it was much in need after the 2008 economic crisis. The program proved to be a great success, raising over €7.5 billion since then.
Portugal Golden Visa program offers different investment options: Fund Subscription, Company or Donation.
Qualified applicants may obtain Portugal residency permits for themselves, their spouses, dependent children, and parents. Applicants receive their Portugal Golden Visas within 2 months of making an investment and submitting an application.
The residency permit holder can apply for naturalization after 5 years of legal Portugal residency.
