A route to a Golden Visa
— and EU residency.
Beyond the financial return, a qualifying investment opens a powerful additional benefit: residency in Portugal, and with it the right to live, work and travel across the European Union, for the investor and their family.
EU residency & mobility
The right to live, work and study in Portugal, and to travel visa-free across the Schengen Area.
Family included
Spouse, dependent children and dependent parents can be included in a single application.
Minimal presence
Just 7 days in the first year and 14 days in each subsequent two-year period — no need to relocate during the process unless you choose to.
Path to permanence
Permanent residency after five years, with a subsequent pathway to Portuguese (EU) citizenship under the prevailing nationality law.
Productive investment, not property.
Since 2023, Portugal's Golden Visa is centred on qualifying investment funds rather than property. The fund route requires a minimum of €500,000 into an approved, CMVM-registered fund formed under Portuguese law, investing predominantly in Portuguese companies and held for at least five years. A single Cannivest Class B subscription (€1.5M) is well above the minimum, and is deployed into a Portuguese operating company — placing it squarely within the productive-investment intent of the programme.
The Golden Visa is granted by the Portuguese authorities (AIMA), not by Cannivest, following an application and due-diligence process; it is a route that a qualifying investment makes available, not an automatic or immediate entitlement. Eligibility requires the Yunit Green Growth Fund to be structured and registered as a Golden-Visa-qualifying, non-real-estate fund. Investors should take independent legal and tax advice.
