Portugal can become a “fallback” because it is one of the most suitable countries to live in the EU in every way. A special article on our website describes in more detail all the advantages of this amazing state.

What are the privileges for investors who have received a residence permit in Portugal?

 

A person who has received a Portuguese visa under the investment program receives a number of relevant benefits, as well as all the rights of a full-fledged citizen of the European Union.

You get the right to open accounts with European banks, as well as through them to carry out financial transactions.

Acquisition of any residential, industrial or commercial property. The obligatory purchase price of several objects must not be less than EUR 500,000.
Participation in the program of renovation of objects of historical, architectural or cultural heritage. The investor has the right to select and purchase one or more of the proposed buildings over 30 years old and restore it at his own expense. In this case, the amount of the transaction cannot be less than 350 thousand euros.
For entrepreneurs and business owners who plan to immigrate to Portugal, the Gold Program provides the following investment opportunities:

The provision of labor contracts concluded between the investor's enterprise and 10 Portuguese citizens to the inspection bodies implies that the applicant has employed the required number of people.
Replenishment of the authorized capital of a Portuguese company of your choice for 350,000 euros or purchase of a business share for this amount. A prerequisite is the retention of all employees - no layoffs.

How long does it take to get a residence permit under the Gold Program?

 

Usually, obtaining a Portuguese residence permit under this program takes about 2-6 months, taking into account all the paperwork. If there is a queue or a large number of family members, the terms can be increased for objective reasons.

All documents can be sent by e-mail, but biometrics must be submitted personally to the Portuguese analogue of the Russian Federal Migration Service.

To obtain a gold residence permit, it is imperative to spend continuously at least 7 days within the state. We advise you to visit the resorts of Portugal, combining a pleasant pastime with the personal identification procedure of the Immigration Service.

The applicant is not at all obliged to speak Portuguese or undergo any testing, and also to permanently reside here afterwards. It takes only one week at least annually to spend in the country, you can live anywhere in the world.

Which of the relatives can get a gold residence permit together with an investor under this program?

 

Almost all close blood relatives can apply for a gold residence permit. Naturally, the minimum investment increases, and it depends on the number of people and some other conditions. It is best to use our help and make an individual calculation.

Resident status can be obtained by:

The investor and his / her spouse.
Native and adopted children under the age of 26. Obligatory for children over 18 years old is a joint, documented, residence with an investor, financial dependence on the investor and study at the full-time department of the university.

In order for the young children of the investor to also become citizens of Portugal, they must:

or be a resident of the country for five years;
or be born in Portugal to those who have lived here legally for at least one year.


Why is it best to immigrate to Portugal and not other EU countries?

 

Portugal is not only a wonderful Mediterranean resort with mild climatic conditions and a developed tourist infrastructure.

According to the results of the Global Peace Index (world assessment of safe states) in 2020, the country was ranked third among 163 most comfortable places to live with a low crime rate. This suggests that the government is pursuing effective social and economic domestic policies.

The state has a very flexible taxation system - this attracts business emigrants from all over the world.

For investors looking for permanent residence in Portugal, buying a property can be a very profitable investment.

For those planning to live elsewhere, there is an opportunity to successfully sell real estate in five years. After all, its cost is constantly growing, not only in places of mass recreation and on the coast.

Affordable and high-quality medicine has become an undoubted advantage of Portugal. Prices in clinics here are much lower than in Sweden or Austria, and the quality is at a very high level. Many well-known medical organizations operate in the country.

Portugal can become a “fallback” because it is one of the most suitable countries to live in the EU in every way. A special article on our website describes in more detail all the advantages of this amazing state.
