The newly elected government just announced on June 23rd 2025 that the GOLDEN VISA is here to stay and will soon be fast tracking the process at a time when almost all E.U. countries have terminated or highly restricted their Golden Visa program. Portugal is now the most attractive solution for E.U. Residency and Citizenship.

We recommend and focus on the two simplest and most reliable routes. These are through a donation of €250.000 to the Portuguese Cultural Heritage program or investing the minimum government required amount of €500.000 through the purchase of capitalisation units in funds supervised by CMVM which is the regulatory authority for the Portuguese capital markets.
