Citizenship and residency planning firm Global Citizen Solutions will hold the Wealth and Migration Summit 2026 in Lisbon on 5 and 6 November 2026, a two-day event focused on international capital mobility, investment migration and wealth planning for international families. The programme includes a session on the contribution of Portuguese Golden Visa investments to the economy and a dedicated workshop on the Portuguese real estate market.
The Wealth and Migration Summit 2026 will take place at the EPIC SANA Marquês Hotel in Lisbon, with attendance limited to 200 and all sessions and workshops held in English. The organisers frame the event around one premise: “Capital is becoming mobile, and the right decisions need the right people in the room”. In other words, capital has become mobile, and choosing a new residency or a second citizenship means weighing eligibility, timelines, tax and investment.
The organiser, Global Citizen Solutions, describes itself as a firm with more than 10 years advising international clients and more than 100 professionals across its legal, immigration and advisory teams. The summit coincides with the celebration of that first decade of activity.
Day one: the new geography of wealth
On Thursday 5 November, under the theme “The New Geography of Wealth & Mobility”, the main stage will address the future of global mobility and where wealth is moving, with a session on the new hubs attracting wealth and what they mean for investors.
One of the blocks of greatest interest to the real estate sector will be the session “Capital with Purpose: How Portugal’s Golden Visa Investments Are Contributing to the Economy and Society”, scheduled for 11:45, which will analyse how investments channelled through the Portuguese Golden Visa are contributing to the country’s economy and society. Earlier, at 11:00, the programme will discuss what nations gain by attracting foreign investment and wealth creators.

The day will conclude with an analysis of Asset Location vs. Asset Allocation and a practical guide to banking, healthcare and everyday logistics abroad. There will also be a slot dedicated to St Kitts and Nevis and Caribbean citizenship.
A dedicated workshop on Portuguese real estate
In parallel, the Breakout Room will host five practical sessions on day one. Among them is the “Portugal Real Estate” workshop at 14:00, devoted to the Portuguese real estate market. The day’s other workshops will cover Portugal’s IFICI tax regime and how to combine it with residency, immigration to Italy and Greece, and residency and compliance solutions for restricted nationals.
