The overwhelming majority of all Golden Visa applicants care about the same three things: Minimizing opportunity costs, the speed of processing, and protecting their principal.
A level of risk is part and parcel of all Venture Capital (VC) and Private Equity (PE) investments. Hence it’s no surprise that most people don’t want to invest €500,000 in a PE or VC Fund to get their Golden Visa…
Yet they’re understandably not that keen on a €250,000 donation-based Cultural Heritage Preservation Golden Visa either…
Remember that Real Estate based Golden Visas in Portugal are now sadly off the table (and that’s what over 95% of applicants would prefer).
Fortunately, however, Portugal’s Golden Visa regulations allow for another compelling alternative:
A €500,000 capitalization of an existing Portuguese enterprise that leads to the creation of 5 new full-time jobs, to be maintained for a minimum of 3+ years. (See Point VIII on Page 34 – Source: SEF.pt)
Combine the latter scenario with research-based rural job creation, hard asset backing, and revenue models with a proven track record of stable, predictable delivery, and you have what we believe is a win-win formula…
You and your family can lock in your Portuguese Plan B, and get on a clear path to Portuguese citizenship (and the country’s passport) after 5 years, all whilst supporting job creation and renewable energy research in your new “second home” country.
