The Portugal Golden Visa is likely to be ended


The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program is a five-year Residence-by-Investment program for non-EU nationals. Golden Visa allows you to live, work and study in Portugal and gives you the opportunity to obtain European citizenship in 5 years. Unfortunately the government has decided to close the program at the end of 2023, however you still have a great opportunity to apply for the Portugal Golden Visa

Portugal may close its golden visa program, which allows foreigners to obtain a residence permit in exchange for investment, as announced by Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa.

Costa noted that the program, launched in Portugal in 2012, supposedly has already completed its task.

According to the prime minister, the government is now reviewing the visa programs offered by Portugal, including the "golden visas".

“(The program) has probably already completed the task it was supposed to do, and at the moment there is no longer any reason to keep it,” Costa said.

According to him, the official decision will be announced after the completion of the analysis.

Nevertheless...you still have time to catch the last train.
