Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to move to Portugal immediately?
No. You only need to visit once per year to maintain your residency. Many of our clients continue living in their home countries.
How much money do I need to invest?
There's no minimum investment requirement. You just need to show you can support yourself (€10,440+ for primary applicant, plus additional amounts for family members) and run a small business.
What if my application gets rejected?
With our 98% success rate, rejection is rare. But if it happens, we'll resubmit your application at no extra cost - you only pay our service fee once.
Can my family come with me?
Yes. Your spouse and children under 18 can be included in your application. Adult children and parents may qualify under family reunification.
