Introduction
Since October 2023, Portugal has officially discontinued the option for real estate investment to qualify for the Golden Visa program. Instead, investors may participate through alternative investment options, such as investing €500,000 in government-approved projects or investment funds, investing in a business that creates at least 10 jobs for local citizens, or contributing €500,000 to scientific research institutions.
With a straightforward and expedited application process, the program continues to attract the interest of global investors, helping them build a future and advance their careers in Europe.
