Schengen Access
Schengen Access
Visa-free access to 26 EU countries and the right to live, work, and study anywhere in the EU upon obtaining citizenship.
One of the most attractive aspects of holding the Portuguese Golden Visa is the absolute freedom of movement it grants across the Schengen Area. As a resident of Portugal, you can bypass complex visa procedures and travel freely for business or leisure throughout Europe's borderless zone.

Visa-Free Travel to 26 Schengen Countries

Global Access with Portuguese Citizenship
After 5 years of residency, acquiring a Portuguese passport gives you visa-free access to over 170 countries worldwide, making it one of the strongest passports in existence.
