Portugal’s Golden Visa: What’s Changing and What You Need to Know in 2025

New Rules and Investment Options

Portugal’s Golden Visa has long been a favorite for investors—but the rules have recently changed. As of 2024, real estate investments no longer qualify, and the focus has shifted to funds, cultural projects, and R&D.

Here’s what still qualifies:

  • €500,000 in qualifying investment funds
  • €250,000 in cultural/artistic support
  • €500,000 donation to research institutions

Despite the changes, Portugal remains attractive for its:

  • Pathway to EU citizenship
  • Tax incentives under the NHR regime
  • Stable, investor-friendly economy

If you were considering the Golden Visa, now is the time to act before further restrictions appear. Our team in Lisbon can help you assess the best investment route under the new rules.
