The Golden Visa offers children access to top schools and universities in the country, providing a high-quality education not available in their home country.
Under the Golden Visa program, your children can benefit from several educational advantages in Portugal:
-
Access to Public Schools: Children of Golden Visa holders have access to Portugal’s public education system, which includes primary, secondary, and higher education institutions. The public schools are well-regarded and offer education in Portuguese, which can be beneficial for integration.
-
International Schools: If you prefer an international curriculum, Portugal has numerous international schools that offer education in various languages, such as English, French, or German. These schools follow international education systems and can provide a smooth transition for children who are not fluent in Portuguese.
-
Higher Education: Portugal has several prestigious universities and higher education institutions. As residents, your children may benefit from the same educational opportunities as Portuguese citizens, including eligibility for public university tuition rates, which are generally lower than in many other European countries.
-
Educational Support: Children of Golden Visa holders are eligible for various educational support services, including school counseling, special education needs services, and extracurricular activities.
-
Integration Programs: Some schools offer programs to help international students integrate into the Portuguese education system, including language support and cultural orientation.
In summary, the Golden Visa provides your children with access to both public and international educational institutions in Portugal, along with various support services to help them integrate and succeed in their studies.
