An investment meeting the Portugal Golden Visa requirements in 2024 – for just €325,000 of investable capital?

Previously on my YouTube channel (here), I talked about a Portugal Golden Visa option that required just €399,000 of investable capital. This was a 5* spa and golf resort just north of Lisbon, that came with asset backing and a guaranteed exit strategy. The response we had to the Golden Visa investment case at Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort was overwhelmingly positive. However, we did have some feedback that made us stop and think. Some viewers of this channel got in touch to point out that €399,000 was still a significant increase from the old minimum requirement of €280,000 before the Golden Visa rules changed in 2023, and that a lot of people would therefore still be unable to access the Portugal Golden Visa. For that reason, an innovative new option has been designed to bring down the capital requirements even further. Now, with just €325,000 investable capital, you can access our most popular Portugal Golden Visa investment ever – the Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort. Take a look at the video for the details.

What is the Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort?

It is a 5* spa and golf resort, originally built in 2012 and expanded in 2021. The hotel is fully operational, and It is rated 8.7/10 on Booking .com with over 2700 reviews at the time of recording. Phase 2 consisted of several new one bedroom apartments, and these were actually our most popular Golden Visa investment before the law changed and real estate no longer qualified for the Portugal Golden Visa. Important note here: The investment on offer from 2024 is not a real estate investment, as this would not qualify under the current Portugal Golden Visa rules. Rather, we need to use a qualifying structure.

Phase 2 was enormously successful, and last year the hotel achieved an occupancy rate well in excess of its target. For that reason, the hotel is expanding with a phase 3 to allow for the extra demand. This means building 32 new one-bedroom units, to exactly the same specification, and they’re scheduled to finish at the end of 2025 at time of recording. 1-bedroom units at Royal Obidos Spa & Golf Resort are 88 sqare metres in size, have a stunning panoramic sea view, and are finished in keeping with a 5* luxury hotel. The golf course surrounding the complex is a PGA golf course designed by the late, great Seve Ballestros – and is renowned across Europe.

And just to make it even sweeter, the owner can stay in their unit for up to 6 weeks per year once construction is completed. Now that’s a heck of a benefit – a month and a half of free stay in a beautiful five star resort… This is a really stunning development, as well. Do check out the Booking.com page to see why guests love staying there so much.
