Does buying property in Portugal give residency or a Golden Visa?
Buying property in Portugal does not automatically grant residency.
Portugal’s ARI (Golden Visa) route still exists for eligible non-EU nationals, but the official ARI pathways focus on options like job creation, research funding, cultural/heritage support, and investment funds—and real estate purchase is not listed as a qualifying route on the current ARI requirements page.
If residency is part of your plan, treat eligibility as a separate compliance step before you buy.
Can foreigners buy property in Portugal?
Yes—foreigners can buy property in Portugal with no general requirement to be a resident.
The practical “must-haves” are getting a Portuguese tax number (NIF), using an independent lawyer for due diligence, and completing the purchase through the formal deed/registration steps so ownership is properly recorded.
Many overseas buyers also open a Portuguese bank account early to simplify deposits, tax payments, and completion funds.
