The Golden Visa program, officially known as the Residence Permit for Investment (ARI), has undergone significant changes in Portugal. In October 2023, the government ended the option to obtain a Golden Visa through real estate investments to curb speculation and make housing more accessible in major cities.

Currently, eligible investment options for the Golden Visa include:

• Investment Funds: A minimum investment of €500,000 in venture capital funds supporting sectors like technology and industry.

• Job Creation: Establishing a business that creates at least 10 jobs in Portugal.

• Scientific or Technological Research: A capital transfer of €500,000 or more to research institutions.

• Cultural or Heritage Preservation: A minimum contribution of €250,000 to Portuguese cultural heritage preservation projects.

Generally, buyers should consider paying the Property Transfer Tax (IMT), Stamp Duty, registration fees at the Land Registry Office, bank fees (if obtaining a mortgage), and notary fees. Contact us for a cost estimate based on your specific property.

We do not currently handle litigation that requires court representation.

• Solicitor: Primarily handles extrajudicial matters, such as registrations, deeds, asset distribution, contracts, out-of-court debt recovery, and legal advisory services. A solicitor can represent clients in certain legal proceedings.

• Lawyer: Has a broader legal scope, practicing both in and out of court, and representing clients in all judicial matters across all areas of law.

Both professionals provide legal services, but while a lawyer has full representation rights in court, a solicitor focuses more on administrative and legal advisory work outside of litigation.
