Investment in Portugal is the fastest and most practical vehicle to acquire the right to live in the country. There are four programs for foreign investors: Golden Visa, the D2 Visa, the D7 Visa and the StartUp Visa.
Golden Visa
It is a residence permit associated with an investment activity that brings several benefits, such as:
- The requirement for a minimum stay in Portugal;
- Possibility of family reunification for the closest family members;
- Possibility of applying for a permanent residence permit after 5 years;
- Possibility of applying for Portuguese citizenship after 5 years.
StartUp Visa
It is a program to welcome foreign entrepreneurs who wish to develop an entrepreneurship and/or innovation project in Portugal, with a view to granting a residence visa or residence permit for immigrant entrepreneurs.
With this visa, it is also possible to bring your family to live in Portugal and have the possibility to apply for a permanent residence permit or Portuguese nationality after 5 years.
D2 visa
It is a residence visa for entrepreneurial immigrants, and is the option for those who intend to get involved in investment activities in Portugal, through the establishment of a business activity in Portugal.
Here it is also possible to bring your family to live in Portugal and have the possibility to apply for a permanent residence permit or Portuguese nationality after 5 years.
Visto D7
The D7 visa is the most suitable type of visa for retired people or those with fixed and passive income who want to live in Portugal.
It was created to encourage and attract people to the country who already have a guaranteed monthly income.
The guaranteed monthly income must come from: rents and rentals, intellectual property, such as copyrights, financial investments, profits and dividends from companies.
These income must be within the minimum limit required to obtain the D7 Visa.
