Following an initial consultation, we will provide an overview of what the program entails from submission to permanent residency or citizenship over a five year period. The entire process can be managed remotely and you will only be required to make your first visit when you are invited for biometrics.

We assist with the full legal process including obtaining a Portuguese tax ID number, opening a bank account, selecting the most appropriate qualifying option and submitting your application to the Portuguese authorities. 

The Golden Visa is a temporary residence permit valid for a period of two years from the date of issue. You can renew it for successive periods of two years, provided you continue to fulfill the necessary requirements. After five years, you may apply for a permanent residence permit or Portuguese citizenship.

Following an initial consultation and due diligence screening, we will provide you with a Client Engagement Agreement document for review and signature. Upon receiving the signed agreement and retainer payment, our legal partners will complete all the necessary government forms and supporting documents. We will also help you open a bank account and apply for your tax ID. Most importantly, we will help you select an investment vehicle that fits your needs.

Following the Portuguese’s government’s initial preapproval of the application, you will travel to Portugal to submit biometrics and obtain your Residence Card.

Once the initial validity period of your Golden Visa program ends, we will assist you in the renewal process, ensuring that you continue to meet the eligibility requirements for an

additional two-year extension. Our expert team will guide you through the necessary steps.

When the fourth year of your Golden Visa approaches, we will once again help you with the renewal process, ensuring that you continue to meet the eligibility criteria.

After completing the renewal process, your Golden Visa will be renewed for an additional two years, allowing you to maintain your residency status in Portugal and enjoy all the benefits that come with it.

In year five of the Portugal Golden Visa program, you become eligible for permanent residency or citizenship. You can take advantage of long-term residency or nationality options in Portugal. Upon receiving your permanent residency or citizenship, you may “cash out” of your investment if you so desire.
