Why Portugal?

What is a golden visa?
The Portugal Golden Visa program, also known as the residence permit for investment activity (ARI), is a residency by investment scheme designed for non-EU citizens. Portugal launched the program in October 2012 to attract international investment into the country, as it was much in need after the 2008 economic crisis. Since then, the program has raised
over €6 billion. The Golden Visa Program in Portugal provides the opportunity to become a permanent resident or citizen in only five years.
