With its safety, mild climate, Atlantic coastline and strong rental market, Portugal is one of Europe's most sought-after places to live and invest. The portfolio ranges from the historic centres of Lisbon and Porto to the coastal towns of the Algarve.

Buying property in Portugal

Foreigners can buy property in Portugal without restrictions. After obtaining a tax number (NIF), a promissory contract (CPCV) is signed, followed by the deed (escritura) before a notary. We can manage the entire process remotely with local lawyers.

Residency options

Since October 2023, residential property purchases no longer qualify for the Golden Visa; the programme continues through investment funds and other routes. The D7 visa for passive income and the D8 visa for remote workers are popular alternatives. Let's find the right path for you.
