Portugal is the westernmost country of mainland Europe and a stable, neutral and respected member of the European Union since 2002. Portugal has produced streamlined legislation to create an efficient process by which non-EU residents may obtain a residence permit - and citizenship if so desired - based on investment.
A relatively small country of approximately 11 million people, Portugal is considered very safe and boasts a low crime rate. Portuguese is the main official language, but English is also widely spoken, particularly by younger people and especially in the tourist regions.
The Portuguese Golden Residence Permit Program is a five year investment-based residence process. After five years as a resident, the applicant is eligible for citizenship if desired.
Investors will be allowed to travel freely to any Schengen Area country in Europe, which makes the program especially attractive to business people.
