FAQ

Common questions.

How much do I need to invest?

The fund route requires a qualifying transfer of at least €500,000 into a CMVM-regulated Portuguese investment fund, maintained throughout the residency period.

Do I have to live in Portugal?

No — the Golden Visa has no minimum-stay requirement beyond roughly 7 days per year on average, which is what makes it popular with investors who can't relocate full-time.

Does it lead to citizenship?

Yes. After 5 years you can seek permanent residency, and after 10 years (7 for EU/CPLP nationals) you may be eligible to apply for citizenship — a process you initiate separately.
