The Benefits of Portugal Residency

The Portuguese Residence Program has been popular globally since its inception in 2012. The Program opens visa-free access to all Schengen Zone countries for investors and their families and also gives the right to freely trade within the EU.

After 5 years, all applicants will be able to apply for Portuguese Citizenship which means that the whole family will be able to live, work and study freely within the European Union countries. Moreover, the family will get access to healthcare and high-standard education in world-class institutions.

Besides, Portugal offers exceptional infrastructure, high quality of life, and a stable political environment. The country is situated on a coastline that consists of 850 km of incredible beaches and cliffs which is perfect for ocean getaways as the climate is warm 8 months per year. In addition to that, individuals who spend less than 183 days a year in Portugal, are not subjected to worldwide income tax.

The program investment options include the creation of at least 10 jobs via investing into business; investment of €1,000,000 or purchase of real estate within a range of €280,000 – €500,000, depending on where it was built.

Managing Director of Mann’s Solutions Evgeny Pavlov commented:

“Portuguese passport grants not only the right to live, work and study in any of the EU countries, but also is one of the most powerful passports in the world. Portugal passport holders can travel to over 170 countries without the need to apply for a visa beforehand.”
