PORTUGUESE CITIZENSHIP

There are many ways to apply for Portuguese citizenship and Rotunno offers the best solutions to every single type.

JUS SANGUINIS CITIZENSHIP

People whose parents are Portuguese, as well as grandchildren, spouses and partners and descendants of Sephardi Jews are entitled to apply to become Portuguese nationals. This citizenship may be obtained via acquisition and naturalisation.

GOLDEN VISA
Acquisition of properties between € 280,000 and € 500,000, which allow access to the “Golden Visa”, can be your gateway to Portugal while providing income.

Main benefits:
Possibility of entering Portuguese territory with exemption of residence visa, besides moving freely in the Schengen Area, constituted by 26 European countries;
To reside, to study and to work in Portugal;
Reduction of the minimum stay required;
Benefit from family reunification, including the spouse; minor children; older single children in charge; the applicant or the spouse who is in charge; and minor siblings who are under the supervision of the candidate / resident;
Becoming eligible for PERMANENT RESIDENCE after 5 years of temporary residence;
To become eligible for PORTUGUESE NATIONALITY after 6 years of residence. Portuguese éfarditas are entitled to apply for Portuguese nationality. Citizenship can be transmitted by acquisition and naturalization.

VISAS

A visa is a document that represents authorisation to enter a foreign country. A series of strict conditions about rights and restrictions are determined in it, as well as the length of stay. These particularities are different depending on the type of visa, in accordance with the reason for staying.

INVESTOR VISA D-2

This process targets a Portuguese residence visa, allowing the applicant to live and legally work in the country through starting a business in Portuguese territory, as well as entitlement to apply for Portuguese citizenship after 5 years of legal residency in the country. It is worth mentioning that the investiment does not need to be of a high value.

The residency is initially granted to the administrating partners and at a later time, extended to spouses, children, parents and parents-in-law (family reunion); in order to obtain such extension, it is necessary to prove the relationships and dependants.

VISA FOR RETIRED OR INCOME OWN – D7
The D7 visa can be requested by a retiree who proves the means of subsistence for a period of not less than 12 months.

NON-HABITUAL RESIDENT
This modality offers some competitive advantages:

Taxation, over a period of 10 years, at a fixed income tax rate of 20% on income earned in Portugal;
The non-existence of double taxation in the case of pensions and dependent and independent work abroad.
