Second Pass

Which of these could you do?

Portugal — Golden Visa & Citizenship by Investment

These are the categories the statute lists, and they are the whole of it. Two of them are donations rather than investments — the money goes to a public body or a research institution and does not come back — while the fund and company routes leave you holding something, and the job-creation route involves no lump sum at all. Property was removed in October 2023, and the law now says qualifying investments may not be directed at real estate directly or indirectly. The 20% reduction for low-density areas applies only to the job creation, research and cultural routes, not to the two €500,000 ones.
