Portugal's Golden Residence Permit is one of Europe's most accessible and established residency-by-investment programmes, offering non-EU nationals a five-year renewable residence permit, full Schengen Area access, and a clear pathway to Portuguese citizenship after six years — with investment options starting from €200,000.
As a member of the European Union, Portugal combines a stable legal framework with an exceptional quality of life, making it a leading choice for individuals and families seeking long-term European residency. Portugal is a southern European country on the Iberian Peninsula, bordering Spain. Its location on the Atlantic Ocean has shaped much of its culture and heritage, and its capital and largest city, Lisbon, remains one of Europe's most liveable cities. The official language is Portuguese, and the currency is the Euro (EUR).
