THE LAW

5

The Golden Visa Program/ARI is the fastest and simplest program that provides foreign investors the right to reside in Portugal/EU and opens a gateway to get EU Citizenship for themselves and their families.

With the Act 29/2012 and the Order nr. 11820-A/2012 as amended by the Order l66l -A/2013 “GOLDEN RESIDENCE PERMIT” program started on October 8, 2012.

ln accordance with the Act, residence permits to third country nationals, according to the “PROGRAM”, are granted to those who intend to perform, by themselves or through a company, any activity that generally leads to the concretization of at least one of the following situations, in national territory:

• Capital transfer with a value equal to or above 1 million Euros;

• The creation of, at least, 10 job positions;

• The purchase of real estate property with a value equal to or above 500 thousand Euros.

Starting July of 2015, the Law was renewed and revised through the Act 63/2015. Investors can now carry out investment activities through the following ways:

• Capital transfer with a value equal to or above 350 thousand Euros for investing in research activities;

• Capital transfer with a value equal to or above 250 thousand Euros for investing in artistic output or supporting the arts, for reconstruction or refurbishment of the national heritage ;

• Capital transfer with a value equal to or above 500 thousand Euros, for purchasing shares in investment funds or in venture capital;

• The purchase of real estate property with a value equal to or above 500 thousand Euros or; The purchase of real estate property, with construction dating back more than 30 years or located in urban regeneration areas, for refurbishing, for a total value equal to or above 350 thousand Euros.

• Located in urban regeneration areas where the value of this investment may be reduced by 20% (280.000,00) provided it is made in sparsely populated areas (less than 100 inhabitants per sq.km., or where the GDP per head is below 75% of the national average.)

The Golden Visa Program is one of the fastest choices for foreign investors or third country nationals to be granted a residence permit, through investment activities conducted within Portugal territory.

By investing only 350,000EUR or above, residence permit holders already have the right to reside in Portugal and enjoy free travel within the 26 nation members of the Schengen zone.

The main benefits of the program are the various choices of investments, fast processing and a minimal requirement for residency. This makes Golden Visa the fastest growing investment immigration program in Europe.
