Portugal’s Golden Visa program has seen many guises over the years since its inception in 2012. Capital transfers, real estate transactions, investment funds… the landscape has shifted a great many times as the rules have evolved. Now, in 2024, our team has developed an innovative new solution for the Golden Visa based around an investment into a Portuguese company, ensuring the maintenance of 10 local positions of employment. This is an exclusive investment opportunity that you will not find anywhere else, and it is in partnership with a familiar name: The Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort. Yes, our most popular Golden Visa investment from 2022 is making a return under a revamped structure that meets the new Golden Visa requirements in Portugal.

There are many things that are special about this particular Golden Visa investment case. Firstly, the generous upfront investment yield of €101,000 effectively eliminates credit risk – whilst at the same time lowering the capital required from your own accounts to just €399,000 instead of the usual €500,000. A lower entry point that, again, reduces the risk to the investor and makes the Portugal Golden Visa more accessible.

Secondly, there are no entry fees, subscription fees, performance fees, management fees or exit fees on this investment. By investing into this innovative structure with Jonathan Ralph, Holborn Assets and the Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort, you will have a fully transparent investment case that does exactly what it says – with no hidden costs or nasty surprises (which can be common in the Golden Visa space).

Thirdly, and importantly, is the guaranteed exit strategy offered to all investors. With your investment into the Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort, you have the choice of exiting to cash (at a total gross profit of €101,000) or exchanging your Golden Visa investment for the title deed to a 1-bedroom apartment (appraised at €490,000 in 2022 and likely worth far more than €500,000 at the time of exit). With 4 years to decide which exit strategy works best for you, and with the real estate serving as the investment’s security collateral, this is a flexible and robust arrangement that will suit all investors at the end of their Portuguese citizenship journey.
