The programme

The Portuguese Golden Visa programme (Autorização de Residência para Atividade de Investimento, ARI) allows non-EU nationals to obtain a residence permit in Portugal on the basis of a qualifying investment.

Since the 2023 reform, real estate purchases no longer qualify. One of the most important remaining routes is a subscription to a qualifying investment fund of at least €500,000.

Key facts of the fund route

  • InvestmentAt least €500,000 in units of a qualifying Portuguese investment fund that does not invest in real estate.
  • Fund structureThe fund is supervised by the Portuguese securities regulator CMVM.
  • StayThe minimum stay is low: on average seven days per year in Portugal (seven days in the first year, then 14 days per two-year period).
  • TravelThe residence permit allows visa-free travel within the Schengen Area for short stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period.
  • FamilySpouses or partners, minor and dependent children and dependent parents can be included through family reunification, subject to conditions.
  • OutlookLong-term options such as permanent residence depend on the Portuguese law in force at the time and on individual circumstances.
