List of Golden Visa Investment Funds 2023 + More Affordable Alternative

IMPORTANT: Portuguese authorities announced drastic changes to the country’s Golden Visa program on February 16, 2023. Official details are still forthcoming. Check back here soon for more information…

If you are reading this after 22 September 2021, it would be safe to assume that you have missed the bus to apply for a Golden Visa by buying a property in Lisbon, Porto or the Algarve…

If you’re looking for the cheapest Golden Visa price point, be sure to check out the country’s new Cultural Golden Visa – a €200K Golden Visa option in support of local artistic output in the country. (And it’s NOT a donation.)

Featuring a government pre-approval step before capital is committed and a capital guarantee on some projects, this new option is already garnering major interest from across the globe.

IMPORTANT: Given that a large number of new investment funds have been launched to take advantage of the incoming program changes, supply appears to be exceeding demand. So if a fund doesn’t get adequately subscribed in time, it runs the risk of collapsing, along with your hopes of ROI while obtaining a Golden Visa.

Your future exit from these funds is another unknown; will you be guaranteed of recouping your full capital investment? Is the fund(s) you’re considering asset backed or not? And are those assets fairly valued and relatively liquid? Rigorous due diligence is therefore essential before choosing a fund to invest in.

Below, we have compiled a list of the available Portuguese investment funds you’re looking for along with details on the minimum holding periods (which tend to be long, and obviously way longer if you opt not to apply for Portuguese citizenship after 5 years.
