Frequently Asked Question

  • Q: Does property still qualify for Portugal’s Golden Visa?
    A: No. Since 2023, real estate is not eligible. The GV route now uses qualifying investment funds.

  • Q: What’s the typical investment for GV funds?
    A: Commonly €500,000 into a CMVM-supervised fund.

  • Q: Can I start NIF and banking from the US?
    A: Yes—handled remotely via licensed partners.

  • Q: Typical timeline to a GV submission?
    A: Roughly 4–8 weeks to complete onboarding and documents.

  • Q: Who handles legal and fund onboarding—and are you tied to one provider?
    A: The choice is yours. A short-list of CMVM-regulated fund managers and licensed Portuguese law firms will be presented to you. 

  • Q: How do property services fit if property isn’t GV-eligible?
    A: Property is separate from GV. It is very common for investors who start the Golden Visa process choose to buy a property in Portugal.  In this case, a  buyer representative service is available for lifestyle/investment purchases.
