In force since 2012, the residence permit regime for investment activities (ARI), also known as the Golden Visa was established by Law No. 23/2007, of 4th July and is regulated by Decree-Law No. 84/2007, of 5th November.

This regime was created for third country nationals who want to obtain a Residence Permit. Among the main benefits is the possibility of free movement within Schengen Area and, ultimately, obtaining Portuguese citizenship, by fulfilling additional requirements.
