The visit aims to provide clear, actionable information about the Golden Visa program, as well as insights into Portugal's real estate market, legal framework, and investment climate.


This initiative reflects the increasing appeal of Portugal as a destination for American investors and expatriates, particularly those from California.


Portugal's Growing Appeal to Californians

Portugal has emerged as a top destination for individuals seeking a high quality of life, access to European markets, and investment opportunities. For many Californians, Portugal offers a compelling alternative: a Mediterranean climate, vibrant culture, and lower living costs compared to cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco. The Golden Visa program, which provides residency through qualifying investments, has been a significant draw for those looking to establish a foothold in Europe.


The recent rise in interest from California aligns with broader global trends, as individuals seek locations offering economic stability, robust healthcare systems, and strong education options. Portugal ticks these boxes, making it a key destination for those seeking international opportunities.
