With our deep industry experience and relationships established on the ground in Portugal, we have created a unique product. Our program is the result of extensive research and collaboration with industry experts, and we are confident that it will exceed your expectations to reach Europe.
Our innovative approach has received support from universities, tech partners, and business incubators, and we are committed to creating sustainable solutions that benefit our clients and the wider community.
From the beginning, we noticed a demand for an alternative to the usual Caribbean or Golden Visa programs that were popular at the time. However, there were no such options available in the European market.
Clients were asking if they could make investments into European funds and startups without investing in real estate or needing to living full time in one place due to their global lifestyles and mobility needs.
We also help attract investment into early-stage projects and support the industry leaders who are making change in Portugal.
Our goal is to provide our clients with
cutting-edge solutions that simplify the complex regulatory landscape.
By connecting clients with universities through special partnerships, we facilitate knowledge transfer and financial contribution, creating a win-win situation for all parties involved.
We understand that navigating the legal landscape can be daunting, especially in a foreign country.
With our expertise and comprehensive understanding of the regulations, we guide our clients through the process, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Our team of professionals brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the table, enabling us to provide tailored solutions to meet each client's unique needs.
With a focus on excellence in every aspect of our work, we strive to exceed our clients' expectations.
This program offers a sustainable alternative to traditional methods like the Golden Visa program.
Not only does it support our clients' residency needs, but it also contributes to the development of the local community in Portugal.
