Who should consider investing in hotel developments for Portugal Golden Visa and why?

Minimum Investment

These types of investments qualify for the reduced amount, so instead of investing 500,000 €, you can invest 280,000 € or 350,000 € only.

Paid Real Estate Taxes

Many projects cover the real estate taxes, which can be a significant investment savings, as the IMT tax in Portugal is around 7% of property value.

Well-known hotel brands and exciting projects

Marriott, Hilton, Holiday Inn, etc. are strong, well-known, and reputable brands on the market. You also have exciting projects such as old convents being renovated and modernized into spa luxury resorts that preserve Portugal's history and cultural heritage.

No Property Management Requirement

For those investors who are not planning to relocate to Portugal (at least immediately), it can save a lot of nerves, as no property management or renovation is required from investors. Many foreign buyers invest in hotel projects, which gives them time and the possibility to explore the country and buy property for residence later.

Easy Investment Exit

Many projects offer guaranteed buyback after 6 years, so investors won't have to look for potential buyers and can rest assured that their money will be returned. DRP Advisers also have a project in their portfolio where upon the sale of the asset, between the 6th and 7th year, 50% of the added value from the sale is shared with the investors, over and above the return of the initial investment. Some of the investments also offer a guaranteed annual yield, which can sometimes be paid upfront for 5 years.

European Family Residency & Citizenship

Hotel investments are fully eligible for the Portugal Golden Visa Program, which allows investors and their families to obtain European Residency and Citizenship.
