Serenity of Portugal

The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program (commonly known as the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program) is a five-year residence by investment program for non-EU nationals. The residence permit gives the right to live, work, and study in Portugal and allows free circulation in Europe’s Schengen area. Furthermore, the program only requires an average of seven days per year stay in Portugal over this period.

Successful applicants can enjoy a high standard of living, a mild climate, and a rich culture. Family members, including spouses and dependent children, can also be included in the application. After five years, participants can apply for permanent residency or citizenship, providing a pathway to a European passport. The program offers a unique opportunity for non-EU nationals to establish a foothold in Europe.
