The Portuguese Immigration Services have just released the latest numbers regarding the Golden Visa programme. The latest statistics reveals a very impressive number for the total direct investment made so far under this programme, which was as of 31st January 2015 over 1.25 bn Euro.
This level of investment is very significant for a country such as Portugal and is a true reflection of the importance of the programme for the country. In reality, this investment would not have come to Portugal should it not be for the Golden Visa Programme.
The latest numbers also show that property acquisitions represent the vast majority of the selected investments, with a total over 1.1 bn Euro. Nonetheless, there has been a relevant increase in capital investments, which have risen to almost 120 million Euro.
The Golden Visa programme is clearly the preferred investor residency programme in Europe and continues to be the top choice for foreign investors. As shown in the latest numbers, the Portuguese Immigration Services have issued since the launching of the programme 2100 residency permits for investors and over 3100 to family members.
NDR continues to be the top law firm in Portugal in the Golden Visa programme and we are very proud to be actively contributing towards the improvement of the Portuguese economy.
