The Portuguese Immigration Services (SEF) have released the statistics of the Golden Visa programme up to the end of November 2017. These latest numbers show that the total investment brought by the programme is over 3.38 bn Euro.
According to these statistics, there were a total of 5,505 investors and 9,212 family members approved up to the end of November 2017, with the vast majority of investors still selecting property as their qualifying investment.
The current government has decided to widen the scope of qualifying investments and the corresponding changes to the General Immigration Law have just come into force. As a result, it is expected that the number of applications will continue to grow in the coming times.
