Portugal
Direct ownership in Lisbon, Porto, Aveiro, or the Algarve—or residency through a CMVM-regulated fund. Two separate mandates, one coordinated crossing.

Who this destination suits
For investors who want EU exposure, lifestyle optionality, and enforceable title—without treating a flat in Lisbon as an immigration filing.
Portugal fits families and individuals weighing Atlantic residency who accept that the Golden Visa no longer counts residential property (since October 2023). It fits yield-focused buyers in Lisbon, Porto, Aveiro, and the Algarve, and it fits mobility planners who may need a CMVM-regulated fund subscription instead of a deed. Blue Bridge coordinates licensed Portuguese brokers for the purchase and, when relevant, our regulated fund offerings with immigration and securities counsel.
Two distinct paths
How Portugal works for non-local buyers
Direct ownership and any residency route are separate mandates—each with its own diligence, banking, and counsel.
You may pursue one path, both in parallel, or neither—each is assessed on its own merits with counsel.
Sellable property
What you can buy
Urban apartments and penthouses in Lisbon, Porto, and Aveiro; villas and low-density housing on the Algarve; and selected commercial or tourism-linked assets where the investment thesis is real estate—not a packaged visa. Every listing is diligenced for title, IMT/stamp exposure, and whether the asset is appropriate for a property-only mandate.

Purchase does not grant residency
Buying property in Portugal does not grant residency. Residential property has been excluded from the Golden Visa investment routes since October 2023.
Regulated fund · residency pathway
When living in Portugal is the objective and owning that exact home is not, residency is pursued through a regulated investment vehicle—typically a CMVM-eligible fund that invests in real estate without residential exposure—not through a residential deed. Blue Bridge can structure and guide this route through our own CMVM-regulated fund offerings, alongside immigration and securities counsel. Subscriptions commonly start at €500,000; fund terms, source-of-funds, and AIMA filing are sequenced after NIF and Portuguese banking readiness.
You may run direct ownership, the fund route, or both in parallel—each with separate counsel and timing. Neither mandate is a condition for the other.
