In this golden visa investment acquisition level, the real estate purchase amount of €350,000; must be made on a rehabilitation property of more than 30 years old; and the total cost of the property and rehabilitation project must reach the 350K amount minimum threshold. Most importantly, the location of the investment property is key knowledge in order for clients to be abreast of the Portugal Golden Visa eligibility and guidelines. The Golden Visa regulations as of January 1st, 2022, states that all real estate property purchased for investment through the golden visa programme must be situated within two regions, high- & low-density regions, which can only be eligible under specific property licensing types.
Low-density regions refer to rural areas in the interior of Portugal, where commercial, residential, and touristic property licensing is applicable. Lastly, high-density locations refer to highly populated locations in Portugal along the coastline* of the country, where eligible property licensing for the Portugal Golden Visa is commercial and touristic. *Lisbon, Setúbal, Santarém, Leiria, Coimbra, Aveiro, Viseu, Porto, Braga, Viana do Castelo and Faro.

As the investor has a higher potential for a greater yield, and a good investment exit strategy, due to the property’s prime location.

Clients are free to select a property that is Golden Visa eligible in a low or high-density locations; however, you must take into consideration which kind or property licensing is associated. Commercial and Touristic property is golden visa eligible in a high-density location, areas such as the Algarve, Lisbon and Porto.

The difference between each property licensing is more relevant for a non-EU national seeking a Portugal Golden Visa investment, as residential properties are no longer Golden-Visa eligible in *key coastal areas of the country. For instance, a client seeking to obtain a Golden Visa residential listing in Lisbon, would no longer apply, but it will under a touristic or commercial property licence.

A touristic property license applies to real estate used for hotels, or services apartments, managed by one entity for maintenance and touristic services in the building at hand. From a Golden Visa standpoint, the investor has a freehold of the unit invested and can sell the property at any time after the six-year Golden Visa process.
Whether it is a €350K or €500K real estate investment through the Portugal Golden Visa programme, the property licensing will have to be touristic or commercial in a high-density city centre such as Porto, Coimbra, or even Lisbon.

There is a Stamp Duty at a fixed price at .80% of the property purchase price, which payment will be made before the deed transfer, and finally, an application renewal fee of 539.66 per applicant (should the primary applicant have dependants) that applies every two-years during the update of your biometrics in Portugal over the investment period of six-years.
