EU Citizenship Pathway

After 5 years of legal residency, apply for Portuguese citizenship — one of the world's most powerful passports, accepted in 188+ countries.

NHR Tax Regime

Saudi Arabia and Gulf nationals generally pay no income tax at home. Portugal’s NHR regime is designed to be competitive for high-net-worth individuals. However, careful structuring is needed to maintain tax efficiency after relocating.

Education & Healthcare

Family Reunification

Include spouse, dependent children under 26, and dependent parents — all in a single application at no additional investment.

Quality of Life

300+ days of sunshine, low cost of living, high safety rankings, vibrant expat communities — Portugal ranks among Europe's best places to live.

Saudi Police Clearance (Sijill Janaei)

Saudi nationals require a Saudi Police Clearance Certificate (Criminal Record Certificate) obtained from the General Directorate of Passports, authenticated by MOFA and then legalized by the Portuguese Consulate.

Arabic-Speaking Advisory Team

Our team includes Arabic-speaking consultants and partner legal professionals who can communicate with Saudi clients in Arabic throughout the entire process.

Sharia-Compliant Investment Options

We work with several CMVM-regulated investment funds that follow Sharia-compliant (halal) investment principles, ensuring Saudi and Gulf investors can participate without compromise to their faith.

Education for Children in Europe

EU residency allows your children to study at top European universities at domestic tuition rates — including Portugal, Spain, Netherlands, and Germany. Many Saudi families prioritize this for their children’s future.

Free Eligibility Check

We review your profile, confirm eligibility, and recommend the best investment route for your goals.

Document Preparation

We compile your complete dossier: apostilled docs, NIF registration, bank account opening, and fund subscription.

AIMA Application

Your lawyer submits the pre-application to AIMA and schedules your biometrics appointment in Portugal.

Residence Card Issued

After AIMA approval, your 2-year renewable residence card is issued. Renew twice, then apply for citizenship.

Q: Can Saudi Arabian citizens apply for Portugal’s Golden Visa?

A: Yes. Saudi nationals are fully eligible for Portugal’s Golden Visa program. Saudi Arabia and GCC nationals represent a significant and growing segment of Golden Visa applicants.

Q: Are there Sharia-compliant investment fund options?

A: Yes. We can recommend CMVM-regulated Portuguese investment funds that follow Sharia-compliant investment principles. Please specify this requirement during your consultation.

Q: Do I need to visit Portugal for the application?

A: You will need to visit Portugal once for your biometrics appointment (typically 1–2 days). The minimum stay requirement is only 5 days per year after that.

Q: Can my whole family apply together?

A: Yes. Your wife/wives (under Portuguese family reunification rules), dependent children under 26, and dependent parents can all be included in one application for no additional investment.

Q: How does the Portuguese Golden Visa compare to UAE’s Golden Visa?

A: Portugal’s Golden Visa leads to EU citizenship after 5 years — one of the world’s strongest passports. UAE’s Golden Visa does not provide a citizenship pathway. Portugal also offers Schengen visa-free travel for 26 countries.
