FAQ

Portugal Golden Visa — FAQ for U.S. Citizens

Straight answers on eligibility, investments, timelines, taxes, and family inclusion.

We specialize in U.S. applicants for Portugal's Golden Visa. You get Portugal program expertise, U.S. tax/compliance guidance, vetted investments, and white-glove handling from first call to residency card.
Generally: clean background, qualifying investment, proof of funds, and basic health/ID documentation. No language test is required for residency. (Citizenship later requires language A2.)
For eligible fund routes, minimums typically start around €500,000. Specific thresholds and categories can change; we'll confirm current rules and match the route to your risk/return profile.
End-to-end is often ~6–12 months from file to residency card, depending on category and government processing. We handle banking, documents, submission, and scheduling to compress delays.
Yes—spouse and dependent children are typically eligible; in some cases, dependent parents or adult children qualify. We structure your file to include all eligible family members.
You remain a U.S. taxpayer. We coordinate with U.S. CPAs to manage reporting (PFICs, FBAR/FATCA, fund structures) and align your Portugal plan with U.S. compliance and asset protection.
The Golden Visa has low physical-presence requirements. After the required residency period and language A2, you may be eligible to apply for citizenship. We map the timeline and steps.
