Attractive Investment Opportunities

Qualify for the Golden Visa through strategic investments in funds, culture, or innovation—with options starting from €250,000 and expert guidance from PGA.

The Portugal Golden Visa has evolved to prioritize sustainability, innovation, and cultural preservation. With real estate investment pathways phased out in 2023, the program now offers forward-thinking alternatives that not only grant EU residency but also align with modern economic and ethical standards.

Today’s qualifying investments support national development while offering the potential for long-term financial returns. Whether you’re looking to diversify your portfolio, support cultural heritage, or invest in high-growth sectors, the Golden Visa provides multiple avenues tailored to savvy global investors.

Qualifying Investment Routes

The current Golden Visa structure offers several investment paths that meet Portugal’s strategic goals while delivering tangible benefits to the investor:

  • Private Equity or Venture Capital Funds: Invest a minimum of €500,000 in funds that support Portuguese startups, tech, healthcare, or other innovation sectors.
  • Cultural Contributions: Contribute at least €250,000 to support Portuguese art, heritage preservation, or cultural institutions.
  • Scientific Research: Fund R&D projects in areas such as biotechnology, renewable energy, or marine sciences with a minimum investment of €500,000.
  • Business Creation and Job Generation: Establish or invest in a company that creates at least 10 new jobs in Portugal.

Why These Options Are Attractive

Unlike passive investments, these routes offer strategic value, combining residency benefits with meaningful impact and strong financial potential:

  • Risk Diversification: Access professionally managed funds vetted by Portuguese regulators
  • Growth Potential: Invest in dynamic sectors with scalable returns and long-term value
  • Positive Impact: Support national priorities like sustainability, innovation, and cultural identity
  • Reduced Volatility: Many fund structures offer low correlation to traditional real estate markets
  • Legacy Benefits: Align your investment strategy with a long-term European presence for your family
