Portugal Golden Visa

The Portugal Golden Visa is a program by the government of Portugal that grants residency in Portugal to people who invest in properties worth at least €500,000 and create 10 jobs in Portugal.

The scheme began in 2012, and has been credited with investments of 1.8 billion euros from over 3000 persons.

As of January 2016, Portugal's Real Estate Professionals and Brokers Association reported that 80% of the 2,788 people who had been issued a Golden Visa are Chinese nationals (see Chinese people in Portugal). The next-most common countries in the program were Brazil, Russia, South Africa, and Lebanon.

Spain and Greece have programs comparable to Portugal's Gold Visa program.
