The HQA Visa ProgramTM is Portugal’s fast-track residency program for accomplished businesspeople. After a year that saw the most well-known program for those seeking residency by investment in Portugal, the Golden Visa, undergo significant changes, it’s clear the HQA Visa is a priority option of the Portuguese government, which aims to improve the country’s global standing in terms innovation, science, and technology.  

A growing list of recognized entrepreneurs is seizing this attractive opportunity with Empowered Startups, the only government-designated delivery partner  of the HQA Visa Program. Among the many advantages successful Empowered Startups HQA Visa Program clients receive are the same tax benefits that the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) tax regime offered prior to closing at the outset of 2024 and direct access to leading R&D facilities in Empowered’s quickly expanding network of Portuguese universities and polytechnics.
