We would like to take this opportunity to update all Golden Visa / Investors Visa interested candidates that Government have raised the Visa fees prices within the last weeks.

The raise on prices is just an update according to price index calculations and does not modify anything of what have been doing within the past year. For your information the new price list is the following:

Process Analysis Fee: 514,80 € (before used to be 513,75€

Investors Fee to Issue Residence Permit Cards: 5.147,80 € ( before used to be  5.137,50€

In the meanwhile government announced that  we have received already 2 thousand million euro foreign investment in Real Estate and  since the beginning of the program over 578 million euro have been from Investors Program. Over 130.000 Properties have been sold to Foreign Investors and 2014 has been seen as a recovery year.  Out of the 962 residence permit already conceded, 788 visas were given to chinese nationals.

In regards to Real Estate the biggest foreign investors are still the British accounting over 800 properties purchased in 2014, Chinese with 550 properties followed by French with 547 properties.

It is expected that price will rise in the next month since some prime areas in Lisbon and Algarve are already out of New Developments.
