As global investors increasingly seek to operate across jurisdictions, with greater flexibility and long-term diversification, the residency-by-investment programme is increasingly seen as a key enabler.
Portugal’s Golden Visa offers a regulated pathway to establish residency in Portugal through qualifying investments, while allowing investors to maintain their existing lifestyle, business commitments and primary place of residence elsewhere.
For many, the programme is viewed not as a relocation strategy, but as a means of creating greater international optionality and access within Europe.
These points will be at the heart of the live private webinar taking place on Tuesday, June 16, at 4pm UK/Lisbon time.
It will include a panel of experts, among them Paul Stannard, founder and chairman of Portugal Pathways and the Portugal Investment Owners Club.
He explains: “The appeal of Portugal extends beyond residency alone.
“The country is widely recognised for its political stability, strong legal framework, attractive lifestyle and strategic position within the European Union.

“Residency in Portugal also provides access to the Schengen Area, enabling easier travel throughout much of Europe.
“However, understanding how the programme works in practice requires careful consideration. Investors must evaluate eligibility requirements, investment structures, application timelines and long-term planning implications.
“Regulatory developments, immigration procedures and evolving nationality legislation can also play an important role in decision-making.”
The expert-led briefing will explore how the Golden Visa framework operates, current legal and regulatory considerations, and the role that CMVM-regulated investment funds can play within a wider investment portfolio.
The webinar is specifically designed for investors seeking Portuguese residency without disrupting their current lifestyle, entrepreneurs with international business interests, globally mobile families planning for the future, and individuals exploring European residency opportunities without relocating permanently.

The session will also provide practical guidance on the Golden Visa application process, from eligibility and investment selection through to residency approvals and long-term planning considerations.
Participants will learn about key milestones, common misconceptions and the factors professional advisers typically assess when supporting international families through the process.
Joining the discussion will be João Gonçalves, Partner at SBPS Legal and a specialist Portuguese lawyer advising international clients on residency-by-investment programmes, investment funds and strategic investments in Portugal.
A dedicated live Q&A session will give attendees the opportunity to ask questions directly to experienced professionals with first-hand knowledge of Portugal’s Golden Visa framework.
