Program Overview
Why Portugal?
Portugal’s Golden Visa programme in 2026 grants residency through qualifying investments in funds, business creation, research, or cultural projects. Real estate is no longer eligible since 2023. Investors benefit from EU residency rights, family inclusion, and eventual citizenship after 7–10 years depending on nationality. The programme remains one of Europe’s most attractive RBI routes.
