Investment Options in Portugal: Two Renowned Hotel Properties
At Mundo we have teamed up with one of Portugal's most prestigious real estate developers to bring our distinguished readers the best investment opportunities in the jurisdiction where property prices are still relatively affordable and the return on investment is profitable.
For as little as €280,000 you can invest in a renowned real estate project in Portugal, and for those who want to go a step further, there is the possibility of investing in properties that allow you to obtain permanent residency.
Why Portugal?
Portugal has long ceased to be a discreet and underestimated jurisdiction in Europe. This country, after surviving one of the worst economic crises in history, is now positioned as one of the most attractive opportunities to make inroads on the European continent through its Golden Visa program.
Buying a property in Portugal is one of the most common ideas among international investors who are looking for a migration program in a respectable jurisdiction that does not have problems with regulatory agencies such as the OECD. It is a plus that Portugal is generally going through a good moment of economic recovery after having suffered for years from the effects of the 2008 crisis.
If you are thinking of investing in real estate in Portugal but still need a couple more reasons, here you will find them.
These are some of the advantages you will enjoy buying a property in this jurisdiction:
1. Quality of life with European standards: Portugal is among the safest countries in the world. It has excellent literacy rates and service coverage, and also has one of the best banking infrastructures in Europe. If you decide to buy a property in Portugal you will enjoy the best of European quality of life but at a fraction of the cost, as it is still a cheap country within the Eurozone block of countries.
2. Doing business in Madeira: Madeira is one of the most thriving economic zones in the whole continent. There you can establish companies and only be taxed with a 4% corporate tax, not bad for a company operating from the European Union.
3. Versatility to open trusts: many foreign investors decide to land in Madeira to establish trusts, as Portugal is one of the few civil law jurisdictions that allows individuals to register trusts according to the laws of the investors' choice.
4. The Golden Visa program: this is for many the best investment residency program in all of Europe.
We will go into it in more detail in a moment, but this program allows someone who is not a citizen of the EU, the European Economic Area or Switzerland to invest in real estate in Portugal and obtain a permanent residence permit.

Golden Visa as Part of the Investment Opportunity
Portugal's Golden Visa is an immigration program that has been very successful since it was launched, to the point that today it is considered the best program of its kind in all of Europe.
In very practical terms, the Portugal Golden Visa allows any citizen who is not from the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, to invest a minimum of €280,000 in real estate in Portugal and in return obtain a permanent residence permit for the investor and his or her immediate family.
This permanent residence in Portugal would allow you to enjoy some benefits such as follows:
1. Free mobility in the Schengen zone: with the Golden Visa in your possession, you will be able to move freely within the Eurozone bloc. This allows you to gain access to more and better business opportunities and generally enjoy the European lifestyle to the fullest.
2. Apply for citizenship five years after obtaining your permanent residence: if you keep your permanent residence permit for 5 years, you can upgrade your immigration status and become a citizen of the European Union.
3. The possibility of including family members in the application: within the application you can include immediate family members such as your spouse, children under the age of 18, dependent children under the age of 26 who are unmarried, parents or your spouse's parents up to the age of 66, or siblings up to the age of 18.
4. Very simple permanence requirements: the permanence requirements of the Golden Visa are very simple to comply with. Basically, you must spend seven days in Portugal during the first year, and from the second to the fifth year you must spend at least 14 days in Portugal, whether consecutive or not.
