ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Applicants are required to select and complete one of the approved investment options and transfer the qualifying funds to Portugal from abroad. Each applicant must submit the required documentation, including a clean criminal record where applicable, and settle all government fees and costs associated with their selected investment.
Applicants are also required to attend an in-person appointment in Portugal for the physical submission of the application and collection of biometric data (a valid Schengen visa may be required). Once residency cards are issued, holders must meet the minimum stay requirement of 14 days during each two-year residency period.
