UK Applicants to the Portugal Golden Visa
British citizens are eligible to apply for the Portuguese Golden Visa. In the face of Brexit, investors in the UK and around the world are re-evaluating their investment opportunities and access to the European Union markets, particularly in terms of their eligibility to openly travel into continental Europe. Since 2021, UK passport holders lost their right to work and reside as well as freedom of movement, in the Schengen Area as well. Many UK citizens consider immigrating to Portugal not only to enjoy a desirable and healthy lifestyle, as well as a pathway to attaining EU citizenship through investment.
As of January 1st, 2021, UK citizens became eligible to apply for Portugal’s Golden Visa program, thus providing them with the right to travel within the Schengen Area.
