Latest update (October 23, 2023)
While there were proposals from the government in February 2023 to discontinue the golden visa for new applicants, consultations with various business stakeholders have since occurred.
The final legislation, presented in Parliament on 19th July 2023, opted to retain the Golden Visa program but eliminate the real estate pathways. This legislation was approved and implemented in October 2023.
All other core components of the program have been preserved, ensuring that the benefits continue to be available to applicants, including the pathway to Portuguese citizenship via the low residency requirement.
For prospective applicants, the current pathways to qualify for the Golden Visa now include:
Fund Subscription: A minimum investment of €500,000
Company Creation: Establishment of a business with a start-up capital of at least €500,000 that creates a minimum of 10 jobs.
National Heritage Donation: A contribution of a minimum of €200,000.
It’s crucial to note that these funds must be registered according to Portuguese regulations, cannot invest in real estate, and should possess a minimum maturity of five years. Furthermore, at least 60% of the fund’s capital must be invested in companies headquartered in Portugal.
For those interested in navigating these new pathways or seeking introductions to regulated fund managers, please contact us.

Any non-EU citizen
- over 18 years of age, and
- with no criminal record.
You can include your spouse, children up to the age of 26, parents over the age of 65, and siblings under the age of 26.
If you live in Portugal for fewer than 183 days annually, you're not taxed on your global income. As a non-tax resident, taxes apply only to income earned within Portugal, such as rental income from property. As a non-tax resident, while there's no tax on investment gains or fund income in Portugal, this income might be taxable as overseas earnings in your home country. If you're considering relocating to Portugal, it's worth noting that while the Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) program is no longer available, Portugal maintains double tax treaties with numerous countries. This can offer beneficial tax arrangements for residents.
The process can be done remotely. But you will have to visit Portugal for biometrics after we have received your approval.
To maintain your golden visa status and be eligible for citizenship, you must stay in Portugal for an average of 7 days per year during the 5-year period. More specifically, you must stay in Portugal for a minimum of 7 days in the first year and 14 days in the following two-year periods.
Unmarried couples who have been living together for at least two years may apply for the Golden Visa together, as long as they can provide evidence of their relationship. Evidence such as official documents that demonstrate shared residency, joint assets, or proof that they have children together may be used to support their application.
