After ending the real-estate investment option from Golden visa in Portugal in 2023, the Cultural Heritage Golden Visa has proved to be a worthy replacement. Requiring a minimum of €250,000, it is the most affordable route to Portuguese residency. This threshold is further reduced to €200,000 for investments in low-population-density regions.

The program has been a success, as it experienced substantial growth in 2024, generating nearly €12 million, a 165% increase from 2023’s €4.5 million. The first quarter of 2025 alone recorded €850,100 in cultural investments, maintaining strong momentum. It has attracted diverse applicants, with American, Indian and Canadian nationals leading participation.

These investments have funded 38 cultural projects across Portugal, with most funds directed towards the restoration of cultural heritage sites, with a smaller portion supporting artistic initiatives. As interest continues to grow, the demand for new, high-quality cultural projects is rising to meet investor expectations and sustain the program’s growth.
