RESIDENCE PERMIT | PORTUGUESE NATIONALITY
Residence Permit for Investors attracts foreign investors - "Golden Visa"
The amendment of Law N. º 23/2007, of 4th July (which approved the legal regime of Entrance, Stay and Departure of foreign citizens in national territory), by the Law N. º 29/2012, of 9th of August , created new rules regarding the concession of Residence Permits for investment activity. This is without any doubt, an extremely important measure that allows to attract direct foreign investment in Portugal, alongside the tax regime of non-habitual residents, introduced in Portugal in 2009.
In summary, this is a system specifically directed to third country nationals (non EU members), which allows granting a Residence Permit by means of an investment activity in Portugal, which must be maintained for a minimum period of five years, after which such permit may be granted permanently.
To learn more details about the legal regime, please feel free to consult our work hereby attached. If you have any questions or doubts, you should seek advice from a Lawyer.
