The Portugal Golden Visa Programme is a five-year Residency-by-Investment option for those seeking visa-free travel to all countries within the EU Schengen Area. The Portuguese residency allows you to live, work, and study within Portugal. It provides a flexible path to either citizenship or permanent residence after five years.The Portugal Golden Visa requirements are relatively minimal with regard to physical presence, with just seven days during the first year of residence and 14 days during the following two years. This is beneficial for those seeking the residency primarily for business purposes, as it requires little time away from normal working conditions.With the payment of additional required fees, spouses and dependants can also enjoy the same benefits of Portuguese residency as you, meaning access to high-quality Portuguese schools and universities.
