Portugal Investment

The Portugal Golden Visa program, also known as the residence permit for investment activity (ARI), is a residency by investment scheme designed for non-EU citizens.

Portugal launched the program in October 2012.  The main objective was to attract international capital into the country, as it was much in need after the 2008 economic crisis.  The program proved to be a great success, raising €5,5 billion in a little over eight years.

Portugal offers a dreamy landscape, a wide coastline, a climate full of sunshine, hospitable people, and delicious cuisine.  Better yet, it provides this high quality of life at a very affordable cost of living.  These features make Portugal a very attractive destination for international investors to invest in and obtain the right to live, work, and study in the country.

Furthermore, the Portugal Golden Visa program provides the opportunity to become a permanent resident or a citizen in Portugal in only five years.
