As investors increasingly look to operate across multiple jurisdictions with greater flexibility and long-term diversification, Portugal’s residency-by-investment programme is becoming an increasingly attractive option.

The Portugal Golden Visa provides a regulated route to obtaining residency through qualifying investments, while enabling investors to continue their existing lifestyle, business activities and primary residence elsewhere.

For many applicants, the programme is not viewed as a relocation solution, but rather as a way to enhance international flexibility and establish greater access within Europe.

These themes will be explored during a live private webinar on Tuesday, 16 June, at 4pm UK/Lisbon time.

The expert panel will include Paul Stannard, Founder and Chairman of Portugal Pathways and the Portugal Investment Owners Club.

He said: “The appeal of Portugal goes far beyond residency itself.

“The country is widely regarded for its political stability, robust legal system, appealing lifestyle and strategic location within the European Union.

“Portuguese residency also provides access to the Schengen Area, allowing easier travel across much of Europe.

“However, gaining a clear understanding of how the programme operates in practice requires careful assessment. Investors need to consider eligibility criteria, investment options, application timelines and longer-term planning considerations.

“Regulatory changes, immigration procedures and developments in nationality legislation may also influence decision-making.”

During the webinar, attendees will gain insight into how the Golden Visa programme functions, current legal and regulatory considerations, and the role CMVM-regulated investment funds can play as part of a broader investment strategy.

The session is aimed at investors seeking Portuguese residency without changing their current way of life, entrepreneurs with international business interests, globally mobile families planning ahead, and individuals considering European residency options without permanently relocating.

Practical guidance will also be provided on the Golden Visa application process, covering eligibility requirements, investment selection, residency approvals and long-term planning considerations.

Participants will learn about important milestones, common misconceptions and the factors professional advisers typically review when assisting international families through the process.

Also joining the panel will be João Gonçalves, Partner at SBPS Legal and a specialist Portuguese lawyer who advises international clients on residency-by-investment programmes, investment funds and strategic investments in Portugal.

A dedicated live Q&A session will provide attendees with the opportunity to put questions directly to experienced professionals with first-hand knowledge of Portugal’s Golden Visa framework.
