Golden visas Portugal

Residence permits are granted in Portugal in exchange for investing in the country. This is one of the main regulatory changes to the ‘golden’ visa regime that came into force on Monday 1st October 2018.

Ever wanted to be Portuguese? Have you lived in the country for a while now and are thinking of making it permanent? Or maybe you’re a British citizen uncertain of your status in Portugal after Brexit?

There is a new trend of foreign investment in the Portuguese real estate market that is beginning to gain ground. It comes from across the Atlantic, specifically from the United States of America. Portugal's improved image and reputation is attracting more and more tourists and investors.

The level of investment that comes to Portugal thanks to the Golden Visas it gives out to people from overseas is decreasing, though real estate continues to be the main driver of the programme.
