Good News for Portuguese Golden Visa Holders; In Portugal, the newborn children of investors can acquire Portuguese (EU) citizenship by birth. This citizenship law also applies to investors who have fulfilled the minimum 7-day physical stay requirement during 1 year.
With the new amendments to the country’s citizenship law, the Portugal Golden Visa Program becomes the only (EU) scheme that allows foreign investors to obtain citizenship by birth for their children without the need to reside in the country for any significant time.
Portugal has become a desired destination for investors and wealthy individuals who want to secure European Union residency for themselves and their families. The reasons are numerous: Increased study and work possibilities across Europe, the opportunity to travel visa-free across the Schengen Zone, access to robust health care systems, among others.
One of the most attractive aspects of the Portuguese golden visa program is undoubtedly the stay requirement, which only establishes 7 days per year to maintain resident status. This is an important benefit considering that many investors want to obtain a residence permit in Portugal to be able to expand their business in the European Union without the need to relocate.
