What is a trespasse?

A trespasse is the Portuguese transfer of a commercial establishment — the business, its fittings and the benefit of its commercial lease — from one operator to another. It is the common route for buying restaurants, cafés and shops that trade from rented premises.

Does buying a business in Portugal give me residency?

Not by itself. Entrepreneurs who move to Portugal to run a business typically apply for the D2 visa (the entrepreneur residence route). Requirements are assessed case by case, so take advice from an immigration professional before structuring the purchase.

What due diligence should I do before buying?

Review the accounts, the lease terms, and the operating licences the activity needs (tourism accommodation, for example, requires an Alojamento Local registration). Check for outstanding tax and social-security debts, and remember that employee contracts transfer to the buyer by law.
