Experts Discuss Portuguese Golden Visa Programme

Speaking at the Immigration Investment Summit in Hong Kong, La Vida’s Daniel Twomey was joined by other industry experts on a panel appointed to discuss the status of the Golden Visa programme in Portugal.

Chaired by the Harvey Law Group and comprised of both legal and real estate experts, the panel discussed how the Portuguese Golden Visa programme has evolved since its inception in 2012, including the introduction of the Category 65A-d (€350,000) legislation at the end of 2015.

The state of the real estate market in Portugal was a hot topic of discussion, with all panellists in agreement that the steady and consistent rate at which the real estate market has been appreciating over the past few years, combined with the expected long-term, continued growth of the market, make this a perfect time for investment. As the most popular Golden Visa programme in Europe, turnout for the discussion was unsurprisingly high, with an audience comprised of other industry experts and immigration agents from across Asia. The question and answer session allowed the panellists to alleviate concerns over some of the specific requirements of the programme, and served as a reminder of the success of the programme from both an immigration and investment perspective
