PortugalYOUR DESTINATION, IN FOCUS
Understand the residence permit first.
Portugal’s ARI framework concerns investment-based residence. The application, family-reunification process, appointments and renewals are handled under the applicable residence rules.
Start with your objectives and compare the route against your family’s circumstances. A shortlist helps focus the discussion; it does not establish eligibility.
Explore the investment direction.
Check the official programmePrepare the right questions.
- Does this route accept my nationality and circumstances?
- Which family members can be included?
- What is the complete investment and fee breakdown?
- What background and source-of-funds evidence is required?
- What holding, residence or renewal conditions continue afterwards?
A little more clarity.
Is an ARI permit a Portuguese passport?
No. ARI is a residence framework. Any later citizenship application is a separate process subject to the nationality law in force at that time.
Who makes the final decision?
The relevant government authority decides applications. Neither a consultation nor an investment provides a guarantee of approval.
How can I start a discussion about this destination?
Create a planning brief with Portugal selected, then choose whether to download it or share a draft on WhatsApp.
