Benefits

Visa-free travel to Schengen countries

Portuguese residents visit the Schengen Area without a visa and spend up to 90 days out of 180 there.

Moving to Portugal or creating a “safe haven”

The Golden Visa gives the holder the right to enter Portugal anytime, even when the country’s borders are closed. Residents can stay in the country without time limits. At the same time, living in Portugal is a right, not an obligation.

Tax optimization

Investors can get a particular Non-habitual Resident (NHR) status in Portugal for 10 years. An NHR doesn’t pay taxes on global income in Portugal, and the tax rate for the income earned in Portugal is reduced to 20%. The income tax rate in Portugal can be as high as 48% without the NHR status.

EU citizenship in five years

Investors can apply for permanent residence or citizenship after five years as a resident. At the same time, they don’t have to live in the country. This is enough to meet the program terms and renew their residence permits to maintain their status. Portuguese citizens can live in any EU country and travel to 187 countries visa-free, including the USA, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
