The five reasons why Californian Executives see Portugal as “the safe California” are:

  • High safety levels (Portugal consistently ranks among the safest nations globally, offering peace of mind)
  • Similar climate/lifestyle vibes (Mediterranean climate and coastal culture resonate with the California lifestyle)
  • Flexible residency requirements (the Golden Visa requires minimal physical presence to maintain status)
  • Access to healthcare (provides reliable, high-quality public and private healthcare options)
  • European mobility and long-term options (grants Schengen travel and a path to EU citizenship)

Applying for the Golden Visa is the best way to secure residency in Portugal, and an expert team based in Lisbon like Biz Group is the best way to handle the process. Learn more
