FAQs

What does citizenship through investment mean?

“Citizenship through Investment” is the name give to government-lead programs in which foreign investors gain access to citizenship in a new country by investing a specified amount into that country for a specified period of time.

What are the main benefits of the Golden Visa?

The Portuguese government supply each of your family members with Golden Visas when you make an investment. This gives you the freedom to live and work in Portugal, as well as to travel throughout other Schengen countries.

The Golden Visa is extremely flexible - although you are immediately entitled to move to Portugal if you want to, you are not obliged to. In fact, you can spend as little as 7 days per year in Portugal, if you would rather live elsewhere.

After as little as 5 years, your family is eligible for Portuguese passports, at which point you become citizens of the Schengen Area - the largest free-movement-of-people zone in the world.

How much investment is required in order to qualify for the Golden Visa?

The investment required into a Portuguese fund is €500,000. There will also be fees applied to the government immigration agency, totaling approximately €20,000. We can provide a detailed breakdown of exactly how this will apply in your case.

How long does the process usually take?

Assuming your documents are in order, approval for your Golden Visa can take several months.

We can also help by connecting you with lawyers who will guide you all the way through the application process.

How is the fund managed and regulated?

Pela Terra Farmland II is fully managed by STAG Management SCR SA. The fund is fully regulated by the Portuguese Securities Market Authority (CMVM).
