Family-focused guide on using the Portugal Golden Visa to move to Portugal: lifestyle, schooling, healthcare and how a €500k CMVM-regulated fund investment can underpin a five-year citizenship strategy.

More and more families are using the Portugal Golden Visa as the backbone of a decision that is really about lifestyle, education and long-term security. Instead of treating the visa as a pure “paper exercise”, they build their move around a regulated Golden Visa fund allocation and a clear five-year plan.

This guide explains how the Golden Visa works for families, what everyday life in Portugal looks like, how to choose between local and international schools, and how healthcare and safety compare with other destinations. It also shows how CMVM-regulated funds can support the residency and future citizenship process without forcing you to manage overseas property or a business.
