The Start-up Visa is for entrepreneurs and start-up founders from third countries. The quality of the business plan, its likelihood for success and the potential for innovation the start-up can bring are assessed by the Portuguese Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (IAPMEI). Start-up founders have to generate €325,000 turnover per year after the incubation period of five years and have sufficient means for subsistence for one year (about €10.000 per person).
