Portuguese Golden Visa in numbers

The Portuguese real estate market continues to live its best years, as even with the constant rise in property prices, the sector is still fueled by national, but especially foreign investment - into the Portugal Golden Visa and Non-Habitual Residency schemes. This is thanks to Portugal being an amazing sun-flooded country, and also the real estate here having the lowest prices, compared to the prices practiced in cities such as London and Paris.

The Portuguese Golden Visa program was launched in 2012 to reinforce the Portuguese economy and the purpose was not only for the real estate sector, but the truth is that more than 90% of the investments fell on the real estate market - see graphic below -, and demand rose significantly in central areas.
