Subject: Where does Portugal's Golden Visa fit into a life strategy in 2024?
As the world is experiencing unprecedented instability, a Plan B, including a second citizenship becomes ever more important. At the same time, more and more countries are eliminating options and are tightening their laws.
In this rapidly changing world, what are the best options for European citizenship through investment? What would be the tax implications? What is the best route to choose and what are the implication of choosing poorly or not choosing at all?
This session brings together financial, tax and immigration experts. Our residency by investment expert Jonathan Ralph will examine what makes a successful Golden Visa investment. Our colleagues from Fresh Portugal, the leading expat tax and immigration consultancy, will cover tax and immigration planning.
If you already began your Golden Visa process or if you are yet to get started, this webinar will offer incredible insights on the best routes forward.
Talking points include:
- The NHR transition period for existing Golden VISA applicants and property owners. How to not miss the last chance to get into the most popular tax regime ever created?
- What are the best Golden Visa routes in 2024 - how can you still invest safely and effectively?
- How to identify, assess and mitigate risk when making an investment?
- What to expect from the authorities in Portugal following the immigration reform of June 2024?
- Tax and estate planning issues when considering a move to Portugal

    Hey Jonathan, appreciate these videos you make, I will be seeking your services once I make the decision to get the GV. I one question which is important to me, have you seen one of your clients get their Portuguese citizenship without living in the country full time? I understand the rules should allow for this but I am concerned that my application may get rejected since I don’t plan to move full time to Portugal. Another question that is also important is how long after the five year time should one expect the citizenship? Is less than two year a fair expectation or can it be more, so what is the real length of time until you get the citizenship from the start of the application. Thank you for these informational videos we do truly appreciate them.

    Great video and option for the Portugal Golden Visa. However, we plan to relocate to Maderia as a semi-retired couple. One on a pension and the other still working remote for a US based global company. What would be the recommended route for us to take? This option seems very attractive and would give us a place to stay for a few weeks each year as we make that transition. Are there other GV options for Maderia that may not be available for mainland Portugal, e.g., property investment? TIA

  • @musaabadi7648
    @musaabadi7648 4 місяці тому

    It is not optimistic to maintain the golden visa status. It is a trick or scam. Unless you have visa-free access to the Schengen states, you won't be able to come to Portugal to attend the biometric appointment for, let's say, card renewal. Now, nobody can renew their resident cards on time due to the delay in the system. Hence, unless you enter Portugal before the card expires and stay without leaving, just to wait until an appointment is open for you, but then the very purpose of having a golden visa is lost, because the minimum requirement to maintaining golden visa status is only 14 days per two years. Or, you will have to apply for some sort of visa to come back to Portugal to attend the biometric appointment. And it is unclear what kind of visa that will be; Portugal has no answer to that. Plus, the embassy and consulate of Portugal are not available everywhere; some of them simply don't work and are unreachable. For many people, they cannot even attend the first biometric appointment because they are unable to obtain a Schengen visa. As a result, the investment sits in Portugal to benefit the relevant entities only.

      Portugal is currently ranked 12th for healthcare and 16th for education (and 3rd for peacefulness and 6th for safety). But Portugal's Golden Visa is more about getting citizenship remotely and full access to Europe - so you can take your pick from a number of developed nations that do very well on these fronts.
