This benchmark event, held on November 20, brought together legal experts, cultural leaders, and attendees to explore the €250,000 cultural donation option, which combines lower cost requirements, preserving Portugal's rich artistic and cultural heritage.
Lower Investment with a Greater Impact
The cultural investment option was highlighted as an accessible route to obtaining a Portuguese Golden Visa, requiring a minimum investment of €250,000. Experts discussed the benefits, which include a simple approach, a lower financial investment, and the ability to support cultural projects ranging from performing arts to historical preservation.
Werner Gruner, Regional Partner at Get Golden Visa, emphasized:
“This lower investment amount makes the Golden Visa more accessible to families worldwide. Residency and citizenship by investment are no longer exclusive to the ultra-wealthy—they’re becoming increasingly attainable for a broader range of people than ever before.”
Exclusive Insights from Industry Leaders
Industry experts, including Dr. Mark Deputter of the Culturgest Foundation and Dr. Sofia Castro of the Fundação de Serralves, shared details of the broader impact of cultural contributions.
Foundation Representative Mark Deputter from Culturgest explained the investment option’s significance:
“In the years that I’ve been working here, I’ve noted that we are doing a program in which I’m trying to support Portuguese artists to make large-scale works that fit this auditorium. It’s very hard for artists to create large productions due to limited funding, and through this program, we aim to support the creation of performances that can tour both nationally and internationally.”
Sofia Castro, Foundation Representative from Fundação de Serralves, added:
“Our projects focus on increasing cultural access for everyone, promoting new and young artists, and enhancing the international profile of Portuguese art and culture. We want to achieve this while creating a lasting impact, not only within the foundation but across Portugal.”
Legal expert Madalena Monteiro from Liberty Legal emphasized the updated citizenship route, explaining, "The new legislation of Portugal Golden Visa now counts the application waiting period toward the five-year citizenship requirement, streamlining the process for investors."
The Route for Portugal Golden Visa Investors
The webinar also clarified the legal and procedural aspects of the cultural investment option. Get Golden Visa team provided comprehensive explanations while attendees learned about the program's flexibility, allowing them to include family members while potentially obtaining Portuguese citizenship after five years.
The webinar ended with a lively Q&A session in which participants addressed frequent questions concerning eligibility, reporting requirements, and Portugal's cultural landscape.
