Portugal residence permit for buying a share in hotels

Two new real estate projects in Portugal with a profit of up to €150,000

Portugal residence permit program has been running since 2012. Investors are offered eight options, two of which are buying real estate:

  • ew properties starting from €500,000;

  • real estate older than 30 years for restoration from €350,000.

Real estate can cost up to 20% less if the investor buys the property in areas with low population density, such as Evora.

Immigrant Invest has its own real estate database in Portugal with verified properties. Among them, there are offers from regions with low population density and properties for renovation.

We are looking into two new real estate projects: hotels in Lisbon and Evora. Investors can buy a share in them and get a Portugal residence permit. Both projects are included in the renovation program, so the investment amount is less than compared to the new property purchase option.

Share in a 5-star hotel in the centre of Lisbon

Cost — €350,000
Yield — 5% per annum
Completion date — first quarter of 2025

The hotel is located in Alegria Square, next to Lisbon’s most famous street, Avenida da Liberdade. It is known for its colourful mansions, hotels, restaurants and world-renowned brand boutiques, such as Christian Dior, Chanel, Gucci and Armani.

It was the location of the building that influenced its reconstruction: the Portuguese strive to preserve ancient buildings in historical areas. The hotel dates back to 1796. Work on strengthening the foundation and walls has already been completed. Ahead lay the facade restoration and interior decoration of the hotel.

The hotel will have 35 luxurious rooms, a spa and a restaurant. Investors will be able to book any room for two weeks a year during the entire duration of the program.

Share in a 4-star hotel in Evora

Cost — €280,000
Yield — 3,5% per annum
Completion date — 2025

The hotel is located in the historic centre of Evora, which is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city centre is also home to the Roman Temple of Diana, Giraldo Square and the Chapel of Bones.

The future hotel building was built in 1531 for the monastery, which was never opened. Portugal is now committed to preserving the historical heritage of Evora, so the government has approved the renovation of the hotel.

When designing the hotel, the architects took into account the historical features of the Evora buildings. They also added a new wing to the project, which will be decorated in a contemporary style.

The hotel will have 51 rooms, a spa, a swimming pool and a garden. Investors will be able to book a room for four weeks a year during the entire duration of the program.

What will investors get for a share in Portuguese hotels

Residence permit in Portugal for the whole family. For investments in real estate that meet the conditions of the state program, investors are entitled to obtain a residence permit:

  • for themselves;

  • their spouse;

  • children under the age of 26;

  • and their parents.

Both real estate projects are eligible for the Portuguese residence permit program.

Visa-free travel to the Schengen area. Portugal is part of the Schengen area, so its residents can travel around the region without a visa. They can stay in any Schengen country for up to 90 days out of 180.

Liquid assets and additional income. The value of Portuguese real estate is growing every year: since 2010, property prices have increased by 75%. Such data is provided by Eurostat. Investors also earn money by renting out the property. The hotel yield is 5% per annum in Lisbon and 3,5% per year in Evora.
