With its warm climate, stunning beaches, and diverse cuisine, Portugal is one of the most attractive countries for foreign investors looking to live or work in the European Union.
The Portugal Golden Visa is one of the most popular investment residency programs in Europe and the world. This program started in October 2012, and so far, thousands of families have successfully received their golden Visas and started their new life in Portugal.
The Portuguese Golden Visa program, also known as the Residence Permit for Investment Activity, is a 5-year residency program for non-EU citizens that the Portuguese government launched to attract international investment into Portugal.
The Portuguese Golden Visa grants qualified investors and their family members the right to live, work, and study. Also, the holders of this Visa can travel freely in Schengen countries. In addition, with a Portuguese golden Visa, you can obtain permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship after 5 years.
As the main golden Visa applicant, you can also apply for Visas for your family members and dependents simultaneously. These people include:
You are considered a tax resident if you spend more than 183 days a year in Portugal. Otherwise (i.e., less than 183 days of the year), the Portugal Golden Visa program will not have any tax liability for you.
Remember that any income earned within Portugal will still be subject to tax, even if you live abroad.
Itugal Group's Golden Immigration Service is a quick and secure way to invest and become a resident of Portugal.
Those looking to obtain European residency through investment should use the Golden Immigration Service. With the use of this service, you are able to enjoy all the advantages of Portuguese citizenship while you live, work, and study in Portugal. You can also travel to any of the Schengen Union's member states without a visa or other limitations. Additionally, you simply need to be present in Portugal seven days a year to qualify, and five years later, you can apply for a Portuguese passport.
In the Golden accommodation service, the applicant can purchase a property worth 350,000 to 500,000 € (residential properties are limited to internal areas) except in densely populated areas such as Lisbon, Porto, and Algarve as a residential project and invest in a business project in all areas.
The cost of the immigration service for the applicant is 15,000 €.
