About the program

The Passive Investment Visa was introduced in October 2007 by the Portuguese Government in an effort to attract individuals who are able to support themselves financially. To be able to apply, you must have a certain amount of savings, be able to spend a minimum of 4 months per year in Portugal/ EU, and have no criminal record.

For those wishing to invest, we offer the Golden Visa program, which requires an investment in Real Estate to the value of 250,000 euros or more and a visit to Portugal for a minimum of 2 weeks per year.
