- Can I also invest in a company?

Yes, but then the investment required is higher (€1 million) and your business will have to create a certain number of jobs for the local economy.

- Can I buy property through a company?

Yes, provided you then prove that you are the owner of the company.

- Can I use a mortgage financing?

The investor is required to invest 500000€ in cash. But if you buy property for more than 500000 Euro, you can finance the balance with a mortgage.

- Can I get a visa for my family?

Yes, you can include spouse + children on the visa application so they can all get their golden visa with one single 500000€ investment.

- How long do I have to stay in the country?

With your golden visa, you can stay the whole year in Portugal - but you are not obliged to do so. It is sufficient to be in Portugal for two weeks during the first year, and for one year in the following years.

The Golden Visa for Spain will probably not even require you to stay in the country at all. We are awaiting for the final text of the law that is pending approval by the Spanish parliament.

- What is the "ARI"?

This is the technical name for the golden visa of Portugal ('Autorização de Residência para Investidor" or investor residence permit). As you can see, it is an actual residence permit, not just a 'visa'.

But regardless, we show you how to invest in locations that are driven by international luxury tourists. Those locations are holiday and second home destinations for rich English, Scandinavian, Russian, and Arabs. They are thriving, not affected by the crisis that has affected the European middle classes.
As a side effect, these locations have large and interesting international communities, so you get an interesting social and business life and the possibility to get by quite well with English and many other languages.

- How long does it take?

The first golden visas in Portugal have been delivered about 6 months after the application was made; it is brand new in Spain but we would normally expect roughly the same delay.

- How many people are doing it?

Last year, Cyprus sold 1200 homes to Chinese investors who w
