The Golden Visa (officially the Residence Permit for Investment Activity) is a legal framework designed for non-EU/EEA investors. The state grants a residency permit that serves as a primary gateway to Europe in exchange for a qualifying capital allocation into the Portuguese economy.
The programme has generated over €54 billion from 2012 to 2025 and created over 30,000 jobs. In 2025, The Economist named Portugal “Economy of the Year,” highlighting its resilient Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and leading position in the EU’s energy transition.
