While not legally binding, a legal opinion issued by reputable and specialised entities — such as one of the Big 4 auditing firms or a leading administrative law firm — serves as the strongest indication that a specific fund qualifies under the Golden Visa regime.

Notably, these are the same types of entities that authorities themselves may consult for legal and technical clarification when assessing a fund’s eligibility. Specifically, the immigration authority (AIMA) often relies on legal opinions from such entities as expert validation that the fund meets all applicable requirements.


It is common practice among the most reputable Golden Visa funds in Portugal to provide investors with two legal opinions — one from a Big 4 auditor and another from a top-tier administrative law firm — to ensure the robustness of the fund’s eligibility.


Golden Visa investors, when considering a fund, should always request the legal opinion from the respective management company and carefully verify whether the issuing entity or entities align with the calibre of those mentioned above.
