Portugal Maintains Strategic Edge in Investment Migration Despite Citizenship Law Debate
Strategic Insights from Get Golden Visa for Global Investors
Many of our clients are looking at Portugal as a long-term safety net, especially as political tensions increase in their home countries”
LISBON, LISBON, PORTUGAL, July 16, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Despite ongoing parliamentary debate around proposed changes to the Portugal citizenship law, investor demand for the Portugal Golden Visa continues to grow. Contrary to seasonal expectations and legal uncertainty, Get Golden Visa reports a strong uptick in interest during the summer of 2025,a season typically associated with slower migration activity.— Murat Coskun
“Instead of stepping back, we’re seeing a good volume of serious inquiries,” said Murat Coskun, Managing Partner of Get Golden Visa. “This is a clear sign that investor confidence in Portugal’s long-term value stays strong.”
Why Portugal Still Holds a Strategic Edge
Even if the proposed extension of the citizenship timeline from 5 to 10 years becomes law, Portugal remains the only EU country where investors can apply for citizenship without full-time relocation or mandatory donations. The country offers an unparalleled path to EU citizenship through real, strategic investment.
Under the proposed changes, Golden Visa holders would still be able to:
-Maintain their investment for 5 years
-Apply for permanent residency in year 5 and exit their investment
-Maintain residency with minimal physical presence (7 days/year)
Apply for citizenship in year 10 without relocation
This long-term flexibility, combined with EU access and quality of life, continues to place Portugal at the top of investor priorities.
Broader Context: What’s Driving Demand
Investor sentiment is also being shaped by rising global instability and shifting political climates. Many high-net-worth individuals are actively seeking second residency and citizenship options as a safeguard.
“Many of our clients are looking at Portugal as a long-term safety net, especially as political tensions increase in their home countries,” added Coskun.
While Portugal remains the most strategic destination, Greece and Italy also continue to attract interest, particularly from lifestyle-driven investors. Greece’s real estate pathway and Italy’s fast-track startup model offer viable alternatives for different profiles.
