What is the difference between Citizenship by Investment and Residence by Investment?
There is a fairly common confusion between these two models of Golden Visa. First of all, it should be clarified that the Golden Visa is actually a specific program developed by some countries that grants investors the right to reside and/or obtain citizenship in exchange for a qualified investment. There are over 100 countries around the world that have Golden Visa legislation in place.
What are the main benefits of the GV Portugal? Golden Visa Portugal gathers a series of features that makes it the most attractive in the world, starting with the wide range of investment options included in the programme, being EUR 250.000 the minimum investment amount. The advantages of the Golden Visa Portugal are many:
Passport and golden visa programmes around the world are currently under scrutiny. They have been in the international spotlight for some time, with growing calls to ban such programmes altogether. Pressure has increased as some countries (such as Malta and Portugal) have announced the suspension of granting golden visas to Russian citizens.
The European Union is preparing to issue stricter controls in all its member states and is already looking into the possibility of phasing out gold passport schemes worldwide. The feasibility of imposing common rules for all schemes and much stricter checks on their applicants and family members (including in EU and non-EU justice and home affairs systems) is also being examined.
