Golden Visa Program

When Expatriates hear the term Golden Visa, it conjures up visions of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and a tax Golden Ticket (the original version, of course). It’s sorta similar, and sorta not so similar. A Golden Visa is a nickname given to visa programs in which a person may apply for citizenship or permanent residence in a much more streamlined fashion than going through more traditional avenues. Two common types of Golden Visas are the Portugal Golden Visa and St Kitts and Nevis Golden Visa.

Due to its popularity, even Portugal recently confirmed it is modifying the program terms to move investment opportunities away from the coastal properties and more rural. So, if you are considering a Portugal Golden Visa, it is important to get in while the going is good — unless your goal is to move to Portugal and live 50 miles outside of Lisbon.
