Residence Permit in Portugal: Your Path to Life in Europe
Portugal is one of the most attractive countries for investors wishing to obtain a residence permit in Europe. Since 2012, the Golden Visa program has been in effect, which allows you to obtain a residence permit upon investment of € 250 000. During this time, more than 32000 people have taken advantage of this opportunity. Portugal offers a comfortable climate, a high standard of living, access to quality medicine and education, as well as visa-free entry to the Schengen area.
Advantages of Portugal Residence Permit
Holders of a Portuguese residence permit can visit Schengen countries without a visa and stay there for up to 90 days within 180 days. This is an ideal option for those who frequently travel or do business in Europe.
A residence permit allows the investor and his family to move to Portugal at any time, even if the borders of other countries are closed. At the same time, the resident is not obliged to live in the country permanently - it is enough to spend 7 days a year here.
Portugal is famous for its mild climate, picturesque beaches, rich culture and high level of safety. This makes it an ideal place to live, work and relax.
Residence permit holders can receive treatment in Portuguese clinics, and their children can study in local schools and universities. In addition, the resident has the right to short-term treatment in other Schengen countries without a visa.
Investors and their family members can officially work in Portugal, open companies and conduct business in the EU.
After five years, a resident can apply for permanent residence or citizenship of Portugal. It is not necessary to live in the country permanently - it is enough to comply with the terms of the program. Portuguese citizenship opens the door to 172 countries, including the United States, Canada and Great Britain.
If a child is born in Portugal to parents with a residence permit, he or she will automatically receive Portuguese citizenship.
