Immigration to Portugal has become easier with the launch of the Golden Residence Permit Program in the late 2012 by the Portuguese government. This program was considered an opportunity to attract foreign investment into Portugal by the non-EU citizens.

The law allows the Golden Residence Permit holders to live, work and study in Portugal, as well as to travel anywhere within the Schengen zone without a visa. In order to maintain their permits, the applicants are required to physically reside in Portugal only for 7 days in a year. The permit must be renewed in year 1, year 3 and year 5.

Based on the legal opinion obtained by an independent Portuguese law firm, if the investors and their families are successful in meeting the minimum 7 day residency requirement and have a basic knowledge of Portuguese language, they will become eligible to obtain Portuguese citizenship after holding the Gold Residence permit for a period of 6 years.

Portugal immigration through the Golden Residence Visa program is ideal for all those individuals who wish to secure European Citizenship and visa-free travel within the Schengen zone for themselves and their families, but cannot physically reside outside of their homeland for personal or business reasons
