Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I live in another country and still keep my Portugal Golden Visa?
Yes! You don’t have to live full-time in Portugal. Just stay 7 days a year and your visa stays valid. It’s great for people who want flexibility.
2. Do I have to buy property to get the Portugal Golden Visa?
No, not anymore. Real estate investment is no longer an option. You can now invest in funds or donate to culture/art to qualify.
3. Will I get a passport with the Golden Visa?
Not right away. The Golden Visa gives you residency, not a passport. But after 5 years, you can apply for Portuguese citizenship and get a passport.
4. Is my Portugal Golden Visa valid in other European countries?
Not for living or working, but you can travel freely to all 26 Schengen countries like France, Germany, Italy, etc., without a separate visa.
5. Can I work in Portugal with the Golden Visa?
Yes! You’re free to work, start a business, or even study in Portugal if you want. Or you can just use it as a backup residency option.
6. Can I include my children or parents in my visa?
Yes. You can include your spouse, kids (even over 18 if they’re studying), and dependent parents in one family application.
7. What happens if I stop investing after getting the visa?
If you remove your investment before the required 5 years, your visa might get canceled. So you must keep the investment active to maintain your residency.
