Business Investment
Business Investment
Investment in an existing or new commercial company in Portugal.
The Business Investment route is an attractive option for entrepreneurs and corporate investors seeking active participation in the Portuguese economy. Under this pathway, investors can qualify for the Golden Visa by injecting capital directly into a company, contributing to economic growth, and generating local employment.
Legal and Job Creation Requirements
To qualify for a Golden Visa via the Business Investment option, the transaction must meet specific regulatory thresholds:
Minimum Capital Investment
An investment of at least €500,000 to incorporate a new company or to increase the share capital of an existing Portuguese company.
Permanent Job Creation
The investment must create at least 5 permanent, full-time jobs for a minimum period of 3 consecutive years.
Corporate Structure and Governance
The target company must be a Portuguese commercial entity with a registered office in Portugal, complying with local corporate and labor laws.
"The business investment pathway allows global business leaders to establish an active foothold in the EU, creating concrete economic value while securing their family's residency."
