The fund categories that still qualify

With the real-estate route gone, regulated funds are the main path. These are the three categories investors are exploring most.

Renewable Energy

Solar, wind, and clean-energy infrastructure. Europe is investing heavily here, in a sector many investors believe will keep growing.

Infrastructure

The backbone of Portugal’s economy: transportation, utilities, and large-scale projects built around long-term growth.

Private Equity & Portuguese Businesses

Growing Portuguese companies and innovation, for investors who want real exposure to the country’s economic growth.

EU residency isn’t just a holiday home. It’s a Plan B and a mobility asset.

The investors moving now aren’t only diversifying their portfolios. They’re diversifying their options across more than one country, while the strongest routes are still open.
