Created in 2012, the Residence Permit for Investors program, better known as Golden Visa, provides a temporary residence visa in Portugal and free access to the Schengen area, for the holder and his/her immediate family. This visa can be obtained through a series of investments in the country.
The investment can be made through the acquisition of participation units in investment funds, among others. The amounts allowed vary for the different types of acquisition and there are also some restrictions regarding the areas of the country in which you can invest. Only a few investment funds are eligible to obtain a Golden Visa in Portugal.
