The Portugal Golden Visa allows you to bring your close family members under the same application, including:

• Spouse or legal partner (marriage or long-term partnership recognized by law).
• Children under 18 years old.
• Dependent children over 18 — if they are full-time students and financially supported by you.
• Dependent parents — of either the main applicant or the spouse, if financially reliant.
• Dependent siblings (in certain cases, e.g., if under guardianship).

This makes the program highly attractive for families who want to move or secure a “Plan B” together.

In our portfolio, we offer a wide selection of funds — both closed-end and open-end — so you can choose the investment structure that best suits your needs while ensuring Golden Visa compliance

Main requremtns:

• The fund must be registered and regulated by CMVM (Portugal’s Securities Market Commission).
• Minimum investment period (at least 5 years)
• Fund must invest at least 60% of its capital in companies with registered offices in Portugal.

Yes, you can split the €500,000 investment across more than one qualifying fund.

• The law does not require the full amount to be placed into a single fund.
• As long as the total investment equals at least €500,000 and each chosen fund meets Golden Visa requirements (CMVM-regulated, 60% invested in Portuguese companies, etc.), you can diversify.
• This approach allows you to spread risk between different strategies — for example, part in a closed-end fund focused on real estate-backed projects and part in an open-end fund investing in startups, renewable energy, or tech.

Important:
You’ll need proper documentation from each fund to prove compliance when submitting your application.

Golden Visa–eligible funds in Portugal are designed not only to meet residency requirements but also to generate potential returns for investors. However, the profitability varies depending on the type of fund and its strategy:

• Conservative funds (e.g., real estate–backed or infrastructure) may aim for lower but more stable annual returns.
• Growth-oriented funds (e.g., startups, green energy, tech) carry higher risk but may offer greater upside potential.
• Historically, many Golden Visa–compliant funds have targeted returns in the range of 3%–7% per year, but this is not guaranteed. Before investing in a particular fund, it is important to review its reports and information about the fund’s management style.

When applying for a Golden Visa, in addition to the investment itself, you should usually expect:

The fee is €806.80 per person, payable upon submission of your documents.

After approval and before the biometric appointment, the payment for the residence permit card issuance must be made

• €8,060 for the main applicant
• €6,179 for each family member.

The application process for the Portuguese Golden Visa is quite structured and involves several stages.

• Choose your investment option
• Prepare to make the investment (this includes due diligence and onboarding by the funds; in some cases, it is also necessary to open a bank account in Portugal — a process that may take several months)
• Prepare documents for the application.
• Submit your application with the lawyer/representative.
• Receive approval from SEF.
• Attend the biometrics appointment in Portugal.
• Receive your residence card.

The entire process typically takes around 12–14 months.
