What is the Portugal D2 Visa?

The Portugal D2 Visa is a Residency by Investment programme and an alternative solution to the Portugal Golden Visa.

This programme leads to Portuguese citizenship and is designed to attract high net-worth individuals to invest in the economy by opening a new business or branching out an existing one in Portugal.

The Portugal D2 Visa is currently the best, fastest, and most efficient way of obtaining Residency within the European Union with benefits such as family reunification and visa-free travel over the Schengen Zone and most cost-effective path to citizenship in the EU.

What are the Benefits of the Portugal D2 Visa?

Pathway to Citizenship in the EU

Safest Country in the World to Live In

Political and Social Stability

Visa-Free Travel in Schengen Zone

Healthcare

Quality of Life and Healthcare System

Opportunities

Business Opportunity in the EU

One of the most valuable benefits of the programme is the ability to achieve EU citizenship in 5 years. You can attain residency status as soon as 3 months after you have submitted the D2 Visa application, and the passport after 5 years, at which point you can request to reunite your family and bring them to Portugal as well.

After having your family brought to Portugal, all of you can benefit the country's great public and private healthcare systems, clean air quality, and a climate offering 300 days of sunshine. Plus, Portugal is considered one of the safest countries in the world, ranking #7 in the 2023 Global Peace Index, revealing it to be the ideal location to settle down with your family. You will also be able to enrol your children in excellent schools and higher education institutions.

Before Citizenship, you, as a Portuguese Resident, are entitled to travel freely within the Schengen Zone, an essential positive outlook for investors seeking the Portugal D2 Visa, allowing ease of travel between EU countries.

4. What are the advantages of doing business in Portugal?

Portugal has a prime location, offering the perfect point of entry to access to the European market. As a member of the European Union, Portugal has a strong economy while also enjoying the benefits of the single market and the freedom of movement, goods, and services. Portugal has strong international relations with other countries, such as China, India, Israel, the United States, the United Kingdom, among many others.

Portugal's exceptional standing is not just international. The country has a stable political scenario and consistently ranks among the safest in the world. In fact, in 2023, Portugal ranked #7 in the Global Peace Index, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a low-risk environment that can produce high returns on their investments.

The country has a strong ecological policy, having one of the cleanest airs in Europe, together with a sustainable environment. Portugal also consistently produces highly skilled workers, a result of the country's deep focus on education. It is no wonder Portuguese schools and universities are often found on the ranks of the best in Europe.

This is also reflected in the population's English-speaking capabilities, further easing the integration of the business in the country and increasing profitability. Combining this with the arguably lower cost of living in Portugal, there is no shortage of reasons why Portugal is the perfect location, offering nothing but advantages to grow and branch out a business.

5. How is the D2 Visa renewed?

The process can be done entirely online. When it is first issued, the D2 visa has a validity of four months. During this period, the investor, or their chosen representative with power of attorney, must schedule an appointment in order to convert it into a Residency Permit. This Permit has a validity of 1 year and must be consecutively renewed up until the fifth-year mark. At that time, the applicant(s) are eligible to become Permanent Residents or Citizens.
