THE PROGRAMME
What Is the Portugal Golden Visa?
The Portugal Golden Visa is a residency-by-investment programme: qualify by investing in Portugal, and you and your family gain the right to live, work and study in Portugal — with visa-free travel across the Schengen area and a route to full EU citizenship after five years. At Finbek we guide you through every step, from choosing the investment to your passport application.
WHY PORTUGAL
One of Europe’s most accessible programmes
More than 30 countries offer residency or citizenship by investment. Portugal stands out by combining one of the lowest qualifying investments in the EU with one of the strongest passports in the world.
LIFESTYLE
A country built for living
1,700 km of coastline, a “work to live” culture and one of the safest societies in the world attract thousands of entrepreneurs and investors to Portugal every year.
FLEXIBILITY
Minimal commitments
You and your family do not need to relocate or become Portuguese tax residents. Spending an average of just 7 days a year in Portugal keeps you eligible to apply for citizenship after five years.
