Is A Golden Visa The Best Choice For Me?
Golden Visas are perfect for investors seeking EU residency and a second passport, without relocating. The Portugal Golden Visa investment fund is an excellent option, offering a streamlined process for securing residency through strategic investments, with a pathway to citizenship over time.
Those who relocate to Portugal can achieve residency without making an investment through other visas
A Golden Visa is a good fit for those who meet the following criteria:
I do want to relocate to Portugal for now
(non-investment visas are better for those who live in Portugal)
I am able to meet the minimum investment of €500,000

FAQs
“Citizenship through Investment” is the name give to government-lead programs in which foreign investors gain access to citizenship in a new country by investing a specified amount into that country for a specified period of time.
The Portuguese government supply each of your family members with Golden Visas when you make an investment. This gives you the freedom to live and work in Portugal, as well as to travel throughout other Schengen countries.
The Golden Visa is extremely flexible - although you are immediately entitled to move to Portugal if you want to, you are not obliged to. In fact, you can spend as little as 7 days per year in Portugal, if you would rather live elsewhere.
After 5 years, your family is eligible for permanent residency, giving you the right to live and work anywhere in the EU. The pathway to citizenship and Portuguese passports is currently being extended to 10 years under new legislation (pending presidential approval).
The investment required into a Portuguese fund is €500,000. There will also be fees applied to the government immigration agency, totaling approximately €20,000. We can provide a detailed breakdown of exactly how this will apply in your case.
In 2026, the government has stated that it aims to issue all investors with their residency card within 6 months of their investment. However it is better to allow one year for this, given historical delays (which are now much improved).
We can also help by connecting you with lawyers who will guide you all the way through the application process.
No. While residential real estate was removed as a qualifying investment in October 2023, the Golden Visa program itself continues. Fund investments of €500,000 remain a qualifying route. Pela Terra's funds are fully regulated by the Portuguese Securities Market Authority (CMVM) and managed by STAG Management SCR SA.
