Тhe Portuguese Golden Visa replaces all EU CIP

→ The Golden Visa of Portugal. Legal resilience – the key to its achievements
The Portuguese Golden Visa program is up and running full speed, attracting huge number of international investors.
→ Malta and Cyprus (Bulgarian Golden Passport program too) – the main competitors went too far and got burned
The secret for the success of the Portugal Golden Visa is that it is not a passport for sale program. The EU policy is and has always been firm: Citizenship must not be up for sale.
→ Portugal is different, very different
Portugal played its cards cleverer. The parliament did nice work to construct fully resilient investment program that could withstand the storms from the EU. The Portuguese Golden Visa is in no way a passport for sale scheme. And it doesn’t interfere with the general EU policy on citizenship.
→ Portugal is in Schengen
Another advantage of the Portuguese Golden Visa program is that the country is in the Schengen zone.
→ Conclusion
In short, Portugal created its Golden Visa program with longevity in mind. The country could anticipate the political sentiment in Brussels and has adapted its program accordingly. If one wants to obtain EU residence, Schengen free access and ultimately EU citizenship – the best option, as from 2022, is undoubtfully Portuguese Golden Visa Program!
