Golden Visa Update - 6 More Months to Apply!

QUARTEIRA, Portugal - Feb. 15, 2021 - PRLog -- The Golden Visa program through real estate investment has become an ever popular way to be granted visa free travel through the Schengen area, as well as Portuguese citizenship at the end of 6 years.

Another huge advantage of the Golden Visa program as opposed to other programs is the minimum stay time throughout. With other forms of residency applications, you will need to stay in Portugal for a prolonged amount of time (4 to 6 months minimum), with the Golden Visa, in the first year you only need to stay for 1 week and 2 weeks in the following years, which is a great option if you are planning ahead or do not want to commit to a move just yet.

Since the start of the Golden Visa program, over 22,000 visas have been issued and the numbers are still growing with American Citizens currently climbing to the top of the list of applicants. Read below to learn more about how you can apply.
