This document summarizes Portugal's passive income visa, which provides an alternative route for non-EU citizens to obtain Portuguese residence. The visa allows applicants to live in Portugal with access to public services if they receive a pension or passive income and meet requirements like opening a Portuguese bank account and proving sufficient income for at least 12 months.

Golden Visa
The “Golden Visa” is a Portuguese residency permit that, unlike others, depends specifically of the applicant’s investment in Portugal.
The GV gives its bearer the right to work and live in Portugal, as well as to travel in 26 European Countries (“Schengen Space”). Such rights are extended to family members and its attractiveness is related to the fact that it does not depend on the effective stay of the applicant in Portugal. In fact, applicants have only minimal stay requirements, but it gives its bearer and family the right to Permanent Residency after 5 years (during such period, a Temporary Residency permit will be issued), and citizenship after 6 years.
It should be noted that the investor and family members will always have to be present at the Service of Foreigners and Boarders of Portugal for fingerprinting, signature and other formalities.
Such residence license isn’t given upon the sole condition of investment, depending also on the applicant’s visa capacity, in case of non EU citizens.
Acquisition of a Real Estate property in the minimum amount of € 500.000,00 (five hundred thousand Euros);
Under these possibility, in order to obtain a GV, one must invest by acquiring real estate for the minimum purchase price of € 500.000,00, being possible to acquire several properties as long as the investment totalizes the aforementioned sum.

The residence permit allows free circulation in the Schengen Zone of 26 states and only requires an average of seven days per year stay in Portugal over this period, which can also count towards citizenship eligibility after six years.

DOMINICA CITIZENSHIP BY INVESTMENT
In today’s globalized world, tens of millions of people are dual citizens. Quite simply, this means they are citizens of two countries simultaneously, a status that can confer certain benefits, from greater international mobility to improved economic opportunities.
Dual citizenship is usually obtained through familial ties, marriage, or naturalization, but it’s still possible to get one without following these traditional routes. Most notably via a country’s citizenship by investment (CBI) program.
Take the Dominica CBI scheme, for example. By making a significant contribution to the country’s Economic Diversification Fund or purchasing pre-approved Dominican real estate, applicants can obtain a Dominican passport and enjoy all benefits of dual citizenship in Dominica. Let’s take a look at some of these advantages in more detail
Improved international mobility
A single passport can limit your ability to freely travel to other countries as there are governments that prevent citizens of certain nations from entering.
Being denied entry into a country because of one’s nationality became even more common during the coronavirus pandemic, with governments restricting entry depending on how widespread COVID-19 cases were in specific places. However, their own citizens were almost always allowed to return from outside of the country. Therefore, a second passport could help individuals avoid such restrictions and continue to travel freely to their countries of citizenship.
Increased via-fee travel
Similarly, many countries impose visa restrictions on particular nationalities, meaning they must go through lengthy visa application processes in order to gain entry. For example, Afghan citizens only have visa-free access to 26 countries, severely impacting their ability to travel easily. Compare this to a Dominican passport offering visa-free entry to over 140 countries and territories. This means that an Afghan would gain access to over 115 more countries visa-free by becoming a dual Afghan-Dominican citizen.
Economic opportunities
Dual citizenship confers the right to work and do business in another country, opening up a whole host of economic opportunities. The second nation may have a more business-friendly government and an environment more conducive to certain lines of work. Take Dominica, which is currently the fastest-growing economy in the Caribbean largely thanks to its eco-tourism sector, providing excellent opportunities in the industry. Dominican citizenship will also offer unfettered access to other Caribbean countries in the near future as a result of the proposed CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME). Working in a similar way to the EU across Europe, this will facilitate the free movement of goods, services, persons, capital, and technology in the Caribbean.
