Portugal’s Golden Visa program, one of the last EU residency-by-investment routes, is experiencing record demand from U.S. investors in 2025. A recent Constitutional Court ruling confirmed the program’s long-term stability, strengthening its reputation as a safe gateway to Europe.
U.S. Demand Reaches Record High
According to Portugal’s AIMA, approvals from U.S. citizens rose 72% in the first half of 2025 compared with the same period in 2024. Families and entrepreneurs see Portugal as a stable base with visa-free Schengen access and a potential EU passport within five years.
Key Advantages for American Applicants
Real Estate & Economic Impact
Lisbon, Porto, and the Algarve remain prime choices for luxury apartments, seaside resorts, and vacation homes. Since 2012, Portugal’s Golden Visa program has raised over €7 billion, boosting real estate, business growth, and job creation.
Lifestyle, Sustainability & Integration
Beyond residency, the program helps investors integrate into Portuguese life. With a mix of cultural vibrancy, eco-friendly infrastructure, and year-round tourism appeal, Portugal offers both luxury and sustainability.
“Portugal’s Golden Visa isn’t just a residency card — it’s a golden ticket to Europe’s lifestyle, travel freedom, and long-term security.”
