Portugal Golden Visa: Investment Funds

Obtaining a Golden Visa by investing in a Portuguese Investment Fund is the fastest-growing option.

The market is busy as increasing numbers of investment houses compete for your investment.

Take some time to understand your options and get in touch with investment managers and advisors who run these projects. You can set up calls with them to ask about their activity and the maturity of the project.

Remember, the minimum investment amount for funds is €500k. That total amount can be "diversified" across numerous projects.
