What Our Clients Say

Join thousands of satisfied clients who've successfully obtained their Portuguese residency

We had an excellent experience navigating the Article 15/D6 Visa process in Portugal with Ariane. In a country where procedures and documentation requirements can be unclear, Ariane was absolutely amazing.

Ariane is a star attorney, very responsive, and I can't recommend her enough. We (my wife and I) are proof of her excellent work!

I decided to apply for the NHR around mid-December, which seemed almost impossible given how close it was to Christmas. I had nothing in place, but they guided me through the entire process seamlessly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Portugal's Golden Visa program

Investment & Costs

What's the minimum investment required?

€500,000 minimum through approved investment funds. This is the most popular and straightforward option, with funds investing in Portuguese businesses, real estate development, or sustainable projects.

What are the total costs beyond the investment?

Additional costs typically range €15,000-€25,000 total, including:

  • Government processing fees (€5,325 for main applicant)
  • Legal fees and documentation
  • Translation and apostille services
  • Bank setup and due diligence fees

We provide transparent pricing upfront with no hidden costs.

Are there alternatives to investment funds?

Yes, you can donate €500,000 to scientific research or cultural heritage projects. However, investment funds are preferred as they offer potential returns while meeting visa requirements.

Timeline & Process

How long does the application process take?

6-8 months from start to approval. Our streamlined process includes:

  • Month 1-2: Document preparation and fund selection
  • Month 3-4: Investment execution and application submission
  • Month 5-8: Government review and approval

We handle all paperwork and coordinate with Portuguese authorities.

What documents do I need to prepare?

We provide a complete checklist, but key documents include:

  • Valid passport and birth certificate
  • Clean criminal record certificates
  • Proof of funds and income source
  • Health insurance coverage

Our team handles all translations, apostilles, and Portuguese formatting requirements.

Residency & Benefits

How much time must I spend in Portugal?

Just 7 days per year to maintain your Golden Visa. This makes it perfect for:

  • Business owners who can't relocate full-time
  • Families wanting EU access while keeping current lifestyle
  • Investors seeking EU citizenship pathway without residency commitment

Can my family be included?

Yes, your entire family can be included on one application:

  • Spouse or partner
  • Children under 26 (including from previous relationships)
  • Dependent parents over 65

Family members get the same benefits and EU access rights.

What about EU citizenship?

After 5 years, you can apply for Portuguese citizenship, requiring:

  • Basic Portuguese language test (A2 level)
  • Clean criminal record
  • Demonstration of ties to Portugal

Portuguese citizenship grants full EU rights and one of the world's strongest passports.

Common Concerns

Do I need to speak Portuguese?

No Portuguese required for the Golden Visa itself. English is widely spoken in business and legal settings. Only citizenship (after 5 years) requires basic Portuguese, and we provide language learning resources.

What if the program changes or ends?

Your approved Golden Visa is protected by Portuguese law. Even if program rules change, existing visa holders maintain their rights and can complete the citizenship process under current terms.

What are the tax implications?

With minimal residency, you typically remain non-tax resident in Portugal. If you become tax resident, the NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) regime offers significant tax benefits for 10 years. We provide tax planning guidance.
