Growing interest from Americans in Portuguese Residence
During the last few years, there was a massive spike in interest amongst American in investment migration generally, and Portugal specifically, driven by mainly 3 factors: the Covid19 pandemic, the overall value proposition of European real-estate-based investment migration programs and the attractiveness of Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program.
“High-net-worth individuals favor European real estate-linked migration programs as they offer a unique hybrid investment opportunity that includes multiple yields from real estate, with all its traditional upside, as well as an alternative residence and/or citizenship with the option to relocate if they need too” explained Kadiri.
“Even high-net-worth individuals from advanced economies with premium passports and world-class healthcare systems such as the US are now looking to create portfolios of complementary citizenship and residence options, and Portugal – given its very attractive and quickly-processed Residence Program – is a top choice for them” he added.
“We already have clients who have obtained their Portuguese citizenship and passport five years after acquiring their Golden Residence Permit through Henley & Partners” Kadiri.
“We are ready to assist you realize your dream of providing opportunity and optionality for you and you family.”
