On 9 October 2012 and 27 September 2013, the Portuguese and Spanish Governments approved therespective Golden Visa legislation, opening doors to international entrepreneurs, and simplifyingentry and stay procedures in Portugal and Spain for non-EU nationals.

Non-European citizens are granted residence permits if they invest a minimum qualifying amount ofhalf a million euros in Portugal or Spain, providing them a residence visa for the first year plus furtherperiods residency (during 5 years, until receiving the permanent Visa on the 5th year - in Portugal andindefinite renewable residence permits every two years - in Spain).

To qualify for these permits it is necessary that the investment is maintained and that the investorstravel to:

◦ Portugal - 7 days in the first year in Portugal, and 7 days per annum or alternatively 14 days between the 2ndand 3rd year, and the same applies for the 4th and 5th year.

◦ Spain - at least once within each period of validity of the residency permit.

Investors may formally apply for residence permits for themselves and for their immediate family: spouse anddescendants under 18 years old or over 18, if they are not capable of providing for their own needs due tohealth problems.
