- Program Overview
Including Your Family in a Golden Visa
One of the greatest advantages of a Golden Visa is that it is rarely just for one person. Europe’s residency-by-investment programs are designed for families, allowing a single investment to secure residency for multiple generations at once.
Who can you include?
While the exact rules vary by program, most Golden Visas allow you to include your legally married spouse and dependent children — often up to their mid-twenties if they remain in full-time education. Many programs also extend to dependent parents and, in some cases, grandparents.
One application, one timeline
Including your family does not mean multiple separate applications. Family members are added to the main applicant’s file and processed together under a single timeline, making it an efficient and cost-effective way to secure everyone’s future. Adding dependents is typically priced at fixed rates rather than as full applications.
The same rights for every member
Each included family member receives the same residency rights: the ability to live, study and access healthcare in the host country, and to travel freely across the Schengen Area. Programs such as Greece, Portugal and Malta are particularly well suited to family applications.
