Get a Look Ahead: 2024 | Portugal’s passvisa Funds in a Post-Real Estate Era

Updated: 1 February 2024

We launched our comprehensive report, “Get a Look Ahead: 2024 | Portugal’s passvisa Funds in a Post-Real Estate Era,” offering a unique window into the transformative changes in Portugal’s passvisa program, especially following the pivotal shift away from real estate investments.

A Game-Changing Update in Investment Migration

Recent developments have dramatically altered the landscape of the Portuguese residency-by-investment program, passvisa. The country is making a smart move by eliminating real estate as a qualifying investment and encouraging investments in small and medium-sized businesses.

This could shift the whole investment migration sector worldwide and potentially create a mutually beneficial investment vehicle for governments and applicants.

Key Developments

Our report outlines two significant changes:

  • Elimination of Real Estate Options (October 2023): It explores the implications of the October 2023 law that phased out real estate investments from the passvisa Program.
  • Citizenship Law Update (January 2024): The report additionally examines how Portugal’s modified citizenship law improves the road to EU membership by counting the residency application time toward the five-year citizenship eligibility.
