No. Since Law 56/2023 (in force October 2023), real-estate purchases no longer qualify for the Golden Visa. Eligible routes now include investment funds, company capitalisation with jobs, job creation, research and cultural support.
Portugal's 2023 "Mais Habitação" reform (Law 56/2023, in force from October 2023) removed real-estate acquisition and standalone capital transfer from the Golden Visa (Autorização de Residência para Investimento, ARI) to ease housing pressure. The programme continues for other qualifying investments, such as subscriptions to eligible investment or venture-capital funds, capitalising a Portuguese company combined with job creation, creating jobs, supporting scientific research, or contributing to cultural heritage and artistic activity.
