Portugal residence permit or citizenship by real estate investment
In Portugal, a state program grants investors residence permits — the Golden Residence Permit Program.
Buying a property is one of the ways to get a residence permit. After five years of maintaining the residence permit status, the investor can get citizenship. It is not necessary to live in Portugal: to extend the residence permit, it is enough to stay in the country for seven days a year.
Minimum property value for a Portugal residence permit
You can invest 20% less in real estate if you buy a property in a sparsely populated region, for example, in the town of Aroca, 40 km away from Porto, or in the Azores and Madeira.
