In addition to the investment and fees applicants will need to open a Portuguese bank account. Investors are required to have a clean criminal record, full health insurance and to submit their applications along with full biometrics. This requires one visit to Portugal at the application stage.

The Golden Visa can be renewed at two-year intervals providing the applicant spends two weeks in the country every two years and maintains their investment.

Application Process

1

We will work with you and your appointed legal representative in Portugal to prepare for your Golden Visa application. This includes opening a Portuguese bank account and NIF number before finalising your investment choice. At this point a pre-application can be submitted online.

2

Following a review of your pre-application by the Portuguese Immigration and Border Service (AIMA formerly SEF) you will need to attend in person in Portugal at a pre appointed meeting with AIMA at which point your biometrics (fingerprints) will be taken and you will officially make the golden visa application.

3

You then wait the final approval of your application. On approval your residency cards will be forwarded to you. These are valid for two years when they can be renewed subject to retaining your investment throughout and paying the appropriate renewal fees.
