A 2026 guide to the Portugal Golden Visa specifically for families. How a €500,000 CMVM-regulated fund investment can support EU residency, Schengen travel and long-term citizenship options for spouses, children and parents – even if you don’t move to Portugal full-time right away.

In 2026, the Portugal Golden Visa remains one of the few EU-compliant residency-by-investment options that still offers a credible route to long-term European residency and, subject to future rules, potential citizenship. This article explains how global families can use the €500k fund route to include spouses, children and dependent parents on a single investment, align the programme with school calendars and careers, and build a flexible “Plan B” in Portugal while keeping their main life elsewhere.
