Commonly know as Golden Visa, the Portugal D9 Visa, officially a residence permit for investment activity (ARI), provides valid Portuguese residence to non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens who wish to invest in Portugal.
Anyone who is a qualified foreign investor willing to invest in the country can apply for the Portugal D9 Visa.
Despite no longer accepting investments in real estate, there are a wide range of options to choose from and enjoy the several benefits of a Portuguese visa.
The D9 visa enables you to come to Portugal and travel within the Schengen Area without the need for additional visas or time constraints, while also investing in a stable economy.
Another significant advantage of choosing Portugal on a D9 visa is enjoying the low-cost Portuguese education and medical services. After five years, you and any family members who accompanied you during your application can apply for Portuguese nationality and lifetime residence rights.
This visa also has a reduced threshold for time spent in the country. You only need to stay 7 days in the country to keep the visa valid.

To apply for the D9 Visa, take the following steps:
⚠️ Whenever you're having questions about your documentation, our Visa Dossier Review service is available to assist. Our qualified attorneys will review your documents, approve them, and make any necessary corrections.
⚠️ Due to the nature and amount of the investment, we highly recommend you consult with a lawyer to guide you through the process and assure an effective investment, besides guiding you and scheduling AIMA responsabilities.
For single applicants, the cost ranges between €5,000 and €8,000. Dependents under the age of 18 can be included in the application free of charge. Dependants range from €500 to €2,000.
You submit the visa application and supporting documentation electronically to AIMA. Once they have approved your application, you must attend an in-person interview at AIMA. You and all of your dependents can schedule an AIMA appointment at the same time as the main applicant.
After that, you will have to wait between 9 and 12 months for the issuance of your residence permit. Once issued, the initial permit is valid for two years.
Previously called 'SEF - Serviços de Estrangeiros e Fronteiras' (Immigration and Borders Service), AIMA, 'Agência para an Integração, Migrações e Asilo' (or Agency for Integration, Migration, and Asylum), is the agency in charge of dealing with foreigners in Portugal, including their entry, exit, and legalization.
Your original residence card will be good for two years.
Follow the identical steps for your first AIMA residence permit, but with updated paperwork, and consult the chart below to determine the duration period.
Duration since issue | Minimum stay in Portugal | Renewal period | Renovation qualification |
---|---|---|---|
2 years | 7 days per year | End of 2nd Year | Residency card with 2 years duration |
2 years | 7 days per year | End of 2nd Year (or 4th year in total) | Residency card with 2 years duration |
2 years | 7 days per year | End of 2nd Year (or 6th year in total) | Permanent residency card, or Portuguese Citizenship after the 1st year (5th in total) |

Only five years after receiving your Golden Visa , you can apply for Portuguese citizenship. This will provide you the flexibility to travel throughout the EEA and live in any nation inside the EU, EEA, or Switzerland.
To meet the requirements, you must have legal residency in Portugal for either five consecutive years or five non-consecutive years within the previous 15 years. In addition, you must have an A2 level competence in Portuguese and a clean criminal record in both Portugal and any previous countries where you have lived, and ties with Portugal (like an investment).
