For U.S. citizens eyeing Portuguese residency, the Golden Visa program continues its evolution, with fund-based investments now standing as the primary and most relevant route.

Portugal's Golden Visa has consistently stood out as one of Europe's most appealing residency-by-investment programs. For global professionals and investors, it offers a remarkable advantage: the possibility of future Portuguese (EU) citizenship and residency, without demanding full-time relocation to Portugal. Applicants are only required to spend an average of 7 days per year in the country.

Projects that make a difference can receive recognition as being of Potential National Interest (PIN) in Portugal, opening doors to strategic benefits that accelerate growth and drive success. If you are developing a new venture, find out whether your project qualifies as PIN, what benefits this recognition entails, and how to submit your application.
