Golden Visa Centrale, an international property marketing consultancy specializing in residency by investment, has identified private equity investments as an emerging opportunity for its Filipino clients. This shift follows recent challenges in Portugal’s real estate market, a popular investment avenue for residency or citizenship.
Vicky Luis, founder and president of Golden Visa Centrale, highlighted Portugal’s appeal to Filipino investors during a recent media briefing.
“Portugal offers one of the best investment opportunities not only for Filipinos but others as well,” Luis said.
Previously, real estate was the primary vehicle for obtaining Portugal’s Golden Visa. However, private equity funds have gained traction since 2023, offering a €500,000 investment option that allows investors to secure residency while participating in high-growth sectors such as technology and infrastructure.
“This shift ensures both economic impact and lucrative opportunities for investors,” Luis said, noting that private equity provides a more dynamic investment avenue while continuing to support local development.
Luis emphasized that these programs present both financial growth and lifestyle benefits.
“With Portugal’s pivot to private equity funds, Filipinos are presented with new ways to secure residency while also engaging in high-growth sectors of the economy,” she said.
Golden Visa programs also appeal to young professionals and entrepreneurs, drawn by minimal residency requirements, global mobility, and asset diversification.
“These programs now offer flexible pathways that align with the goals of a younger, dynamic audience, combining global mobility with future-ready investment opportunities,” Luis explained.
Golden Visa Centrale sees these programs as a way for investors to secure long-term stability while maintaining their careers and lifestyles. Whether through private equity, real estate, or other options, Filipino investors are exploring innovative pathways for global mobility and financial security.
