Portugal’s Golden Visa Program
No doubt, Portugal’s golden visa program has been very successful. The program has brought in billions of Euros from around the world and has boosted its economy.  This investment type visa allows individuals who invest at least 280 Euros to apply for Portugal’s residency status. Investors from China remain the largest group for the program and they often buy up Portugal’s properties as the way to get their permanent residency. Industry experts are predicting that the real estate boom will continue over the next years. There may be a few reasons for the increasing rents and property prices.
  • More EU investors are flocking to Portugal;
  • Portugal Golden Visa program is bringing in investors;
  • Portugal’s Non-Habitual Resident scheme attracts high net worth individuals to invest in Portugal;
