Golden Visa Centrale Hosts October Roadshow Offering Expert Guidance On Portugal And Greece Investments

For Filipino investors exploring residency-by-investment opportunities to diversify their assets, understanding the financial commitments, potential returns, and residency requirements is essential to making informed decisions about overseas investments.

To help investors navigate these considerations and take the next step toward their residency goals, Golden Visa Centrale (GVC), a leading Philippines-based residency-by-investment consultancy, will host a series of roadshow sessions this October. With more than 400 families having already started their Golden Visa applications, GVC aims to help more Filipinos explore investment and residency opportunities in Portugal and Greece.

Portugal And Greece's Investment Opportunities

Vicky Luis, Co-founder and President of Golden Visa Centrale, will lead the sessions, providing detailed insights into each program’s residency benefits and investment potential:

Portugal remains the most popular residency destination for investors seeking a better quality of life and opportunities to live, work, and study in Europe. Through the roadshow, GVC will introduce a €500,000 private equity fund investment opportunity linked to prime real estate in Caparica, located approximately 20 minutes from Lisbon’s city center. This offers a pathway to citizenship in five years with a minimal stay requirement.
