It suits you if
- You want a second citizenship with a minimum investment of USD 90,000 for a single applicant.
- You are applying alone, or as a family of up to 4 at USD 95,000.
- Visa-free Schengen travel is not the main reason you are applying.
- You are comfortable with a new program: established in August 2025 under Decree-Law 07/2025, with applications open since September 2025.
It does not suit you if
