Portugal pairs a mild climate, a relatively low cost of living and a high quality of life with one of the most respected residency programmes anywhere.
Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve draw families from around the world, and the country consistently ranks among the safest and most welcoming in Europe.
The Portugal Golden Visa grants residency in return for a qualifying investment, with unusually low minimum stay requirements of only around a week per year.
Over time it can lead to permanent residency and eventually citizenship. The qualifying routes have changed in recent years, so the current options are worth confirming before you commit.
What this programme offers you and your family in practice.
Residency in a stable EU member state
A very low minimum stay requirement
Visa free travel throughout the Schengen Area
A defined path to EU citizenship over time
The whole family included on one application
Access to high quality healthcare and education
There is usually more than one route. Remy will confirm which fits your goals and the current rules before you commit.
Residency is granted through a qualifying investment, most commonly a subscription into an approved investment or venture capital fund, from EUR 500,000. Other routes exist, and the current options should be confirmed before applying.
The Portugal Golden Visa is prized for its flexibility: you gain EU residency and Schengen mobility while only needing to spend around a week a year in the country.
For families thinking long term, it also offers one of Europe's clearest routes from residency to an EU passport, subject to meeting the residence and language requirements over time.
