about the Golden Visa Programme
The Portugal Golden Visa programme remains active in 2025 with significant reforms focusing on productive investment and enhanced regulatory oversight. Residential real-estate investment for new applicants has been eliminated; new qualifying routes include regulated investment funds, contributions to scientific research or cultural heritage, or job-creation projects. Benefits include Portuguese residence, Schengen area access, potential permanent residency after five years, and eligibility for Portuguese citizenship, combined with Portugal’s high quality of life and investor-friendly environment.
The Portugal Golden Visa (also known as ARI) is a residency-by-investment scheme designed for non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss nationals who make qualifying investments in Portugal. Eligible investors gain Portuguese residence by committing capital into approved investment routes, allowing them to live, work, study, and travel freely in Portugal and the Schengen Area, while promoting long-term value and compliance with Portuguese immigration law.
Eligibility includes: non-EU, non-EEA, and non-Swiss nationals; applicants who make and maintain a qualifying investment for the required period; and applicants with a clean criminal record. Existing applicants before certain deadlines may be protected by grandfather provisions.
The Golden Visa residence permit is initially valid for 2 years and renewable every 3 years, provided investment and other conditions are maintained. After 5 years of legal residence, holders may apply for permanent residence or Portuguese citizenship,though future legislation may extend the naturalization period to 10 years for new applicants.
Yes, the main applicant may include eligible family members: spouse or legal partner, dependent children (including up to 26 if studying full-time), and dependent parents of the applicant or spouse. Family members receive the same residence rights and may join the path toward long-term residency or citizenship under the same investment umbrella.
