The Portuguese Golden Visa: Your Gateway to EU Residency and Citizenship
The Portuguese Golden Visa remains one of the most efficient residency-by-investment programs worldwide. With a €500,000 fund investment, families gain access to European residency, healthcare, education, and a clear path to Portuguese citizenship in 5 years — all without relocation.
Main Insights
Minimal stay requirement — only 14 days every 2 years.
Family inclusion — spouse, children, and dependent parents.
Secure investment — €500K in a CMVM-regulated fund.
Path to citizenship — after 5 years, with no tax residency required.
Why the Portuguese Golden Visa Stands Out
The program offers one of the fastest and most reliable routes to EU residency and citizenship, giving families access to Portugal’s healthcare, education, and high quality of life.
Flexible Residency Rules
Unlike other programs, the Portuguese Golden Visa only requires 14 days of stay every 2 years. This flexibility allows investors to keep their lifestyle while securing a foothold in Europe.
Family Security and Inclusion
Applicants can include their spouse, children, and parents, making the program a true family solution. This ensures that the benefits extend across generations.
The Investment Route
The program’s most popular path is the €500,000 investment in a CMVM-regulated fund, offering capital preservation, transparency, and strong governance. At VIDA Capital, funds are directed into hospitality projects that generate real economic impact and long-term value.
Path to Citizenship
After 5 years, investors may apply for Portuguese citizenship — securing one of the world’s strongest passports. Portugal ranks among the top 10 safest countries globally, reinforcing its appeal as a long-term family plan.
