Portugal is poised to revamp its Golden Visa program with a suite of fresh incentives aimed at attracting a broader spectrum of international investors. Key proposed changes include expanding eligible property investment zones beyond metropolitan centers, offering more flexible investment options, and reducing the minimum required investment amount in certain categories. These adjustments are designed to drive regional development while maintaining Portugal’s status as a prime destination for residency through investment.

Among the anticipated benefits are:

  • Lower investment thresholds for renovation projects in low-density areas
  • Inclusion of green energy investments as qualifying options
  • Streamlined application processes to expedite residency approvals
