Secure EU Citizenship Through Portugal’s Golden Visa: Safely, Legally, and Without Relocation
Gain EU residency and future citizenship through CMVM-regulated investment funds, the most secure and compliant path to Europe’s Golden Visa.
The Portuguese Golden Visa is the world’s most powerful and flexible residency-by-investment program.
It’s the only European option that offers maximum freedom with minimal stay requirements (flexibility) and still grants full citizenship and access to the Portuguese passport (considered in 2025 the 4th most powerful passport in the world) after just 5 years.
In uncertain times, owning a Portuguese Golden Visa means owning a safe future in a stable, EU country with global mobility, family security, and long-term peace of mind.
Discover how to qualify with a €500,000 CMVM-regulated investment fund, understand timelines and fees, and secure your path to EU residency and future citizenship.
The Portuguese Golden Visa program is a residency-by-investment scheme that grants non-EU investors and their families the right to live, work, study, and travel freely within the Schengen Area with eligibility for permanent residency and citizenship after 5 years.

Pathway to Portuguese citizenship and an EU passport, one of the strongest in the world.
-
Inclusion of spouse and dependent children under a single application.
-
Access to Portugal’s high-quality healthcare, education, and safe living environment.

High-net-worth investors seeking EU mobility
-
Families wanting EU citizenship + minimal stay (without full relocation or with flexibility)
-
Entrepreneurs looking for tax-efficient structuring
-
Retirees with passive-income seeking European base

The Funds Route: The Smarter, Compliant Path to the Portuguese Golden Visa
When Portugal redefined its Golden Visa framework, the investment fund route emerged as the most secure, compliant, and forward-looking option for global investors seeking EU residency, without the volatility of real estate.
Through a minimum investment of €500,000 in a CMVM-regulated fund, investors can access professionally managed portfolios diversified across strategic sectors such as renewable energy, hospitality, technology, and advanced manufacturing, while maintaining full eligibility for the Portuguese Golden Visa.
How MFG Consultants Manages the Process
At MFG Consultants, we are not fund promoters nor marketeers trying to sell ad-hoc funds. We are independent advisors who curate and supervise the entire investment journey on behalf of our clients.
Our process is designed to ensure absolute transparency, regulatory compliance, and capital protection according to our clients profile:
-
Due-Diligence Curation – We maintain a portfolio of pre-vetted CMVM-regulated funds, screened for performance history, liquidity, governance, and exit strategy.
-
Investor Profiling – We match each client’s risk appetite, liquidity preference, and time horizon with the most suitable funds.
-
Legal & Regulatory Coordination – In partnership with our Portuguese-qualified legal team, we manage all Golden Visa documentation, fund subscription steps, and CMVM/AIMA compliance and we will be with you until you obtain your Permanent Residency or Citizenship (passport).
-
Performance Monitoring & Reporting – We provide continuous updates, performance tracking, and early-exit assessments to protect the investor’s position over time.
Every fund in our portfolio has undergone independent due diligence, legal audit validation, and compliance verification, ensuring that our clients always invest through transparent, institutionally managed vehicles... not marketing hype.
What Makes MFG Consultants Different
At MFG Consultants, we believe true advisory begins with independence, compliance, and trust.
While most agencies in the market act as fund promoters, our mission is to act as your fiduciary partner by protecting your capital and reputation at every step.
Here’s how we stand apart from most “Golden Visa agencies”:
-
Regulatory Foundation: MFG Consultants is a Portuguese-based firm, operating under CMVM and AIMA regulations, led by qualified financial and expert professionals. Most agencies are foreign intermediaries with no local licensing or compliance oversight.
-
Independence: We are not tied to any single fund, allowing us to recommend diversified solutions that best fit your profile. In contrast, most agencies promote one or two funds that pay them high commissions... creating conflicts of interest.
-
Transparency and Data-Driven Analysis: Every fund we present includes audited performance data, verified fees, and clear exit mechanisms. Other agencies often rely on marketing material without independent due diligence.
-
Personalized Investor Profiling: Each client undergoes a detailed suitability and liquidity assessment, ensuring alignment between investment risk and family goals. Many agencies apply a one-size-fits-all approach regardless of investor profile.
-
Integrated Expertise: We team up with the same Portuguese-qualified OA lawyers that handle all compliance, PoA, and fund subscription steps as well as the whole Golden Visa Program scope since 2012. Other firms usually outsource legal work or rely on third parties they do not control.
-
Proven Track Record: MFG Consultants maintains a 100% approval rate for Golden Visa applications with zero rejections. Most competitors do not disclose real approval data or inflate their "Golden Visa applications numbers".
-
Institutional Recognition: We were named Investment Advisory Firm of the Year by Corporate LiveWire Global Awards for 5 times, reinforcing our reputation for excellence and integrity. Few agencies hold verified recognition from independent industry bodies.
In summary, MFG Consultants is not a sales channel. We are your fiduciary advisory partner, ensuring every investment is compliant, diversified, and aligned with your long-term wealth and residency goals.
Empowered People = Smart Decisions.
That’s the MFG Consultants difference.
Why This Matters to Global Investors
For international families, entrepreneurs, and wealth managers, the funds route represents:
-
A regulated path to EU residency and citizenship eligibility.
-
Exposure to professionally managed Portuguese growth sectors.
-
Freedom from property maintenance, taxes, or speculative risk.
-
A transferable and inheritable asset, structured under EU law.
And most importantly, with MFG Consultants, investors benefit from full fiduciary protection: a single point of contact for all legal, financial, and immigration steps.
Our Competitive Edge
-
Independent & Award-Winning: Recognized as Investment Advisory Firm of the Year by Corporate LiveWire Global Awards for 5 times and in the market since 2012.
-
350+ families served with a 100% approval rate (REAL NUMBERS / REAL TRACK RECORD). Many international agencies claim thousands of Golden Visa cases. At MFG Consultants, we believe what truly matters isn’t volume... it’s verifiable success, full compliance, and client trust. That’s why every number we share is backed by real data, not marketing math.
-
Proprietary Due-Diligence Framework assessing 40+ Portuguese funds.
-
Institutional Network with top fund managers, law firms, and banks.
-
Data-Driven Simulations showing projected growth, risk scoring, and liquidity options over 7 years.
-

The Golden Visa fund route is not just a residency tool... it’s a structured investment strategy that combines regulatory safety, financial diversification, and long-term EU access.
With MFG Consultants, investors don’t simply buy into a fund... they gain a strategic partner who ensures that every step aligns with their wealth goals, compliance standards, and family legacy.
Empowered People = Smart Decisions
That’s the MFG Consultants philosophy.
