Great country but it's almost f*сking impossible to solve any issues with the immigration office. Also regarding banking - once you miss a compliance call from the bank your funds will get stuck for weeks (MilleniumBCP). If you get involved with the country be sure to have patience, and I am talking months of waiting for something simple to get resolved. Also note that there will be crypto taxes starting 2023.

Dear Normad Capitalist channel, can you tell me from your perspective, if it is worth it to get German citizenship? and another question, that just come out, between the Canadian and the German, which would be worth it to have it first ?
With the D7 Visa for Freelancers, the caveat that they don't like to advertise is that you must earn 4 times the minimum wage of Portugal per month (€2800) for them to approve your visa application.
You must update your information regarding Golden Visa, because has been announced that soon will be reviewed by the government and most probably eliminated pretty soon

California is also overtaxed, super expensive and run by a progressive-woke crowd who want to take away your basic rights. And they get voted in by a 65%-35% margin every election. Hundreds of buisnesses and hundreds of thousands of people are leaving California.
Thanks for the info. I was wondering if it was possible to come on a digital nomad visa and then get citizenship after renewing it and living in Portugal for 5 years?
I'm considering Portugal. I am a veteran who receives VA disability in the US. I looked into Colombia but they have some stringent guidelines when it comes to mental health.

I have been looking into moving here for almost 2 years, it's not easy. It's a shame so many Americans are looking to leave their homeland because of gov't corruption.😞
It's not because of government corruption; it's because most other Americans are stupid, ignorant, blindly patriotic (even self-effacingly so), insular, and politically tribal, and the smart ones are sick and tired of this nonsense, so they want to leave.

@@ChocBomb Thanks! Just to confirm my understanding. I can stay anywhere in Schengen area to maintain my D7 temporary residency as long as I do not stay outside Portugal for 6 consecutive months. This mean I can stay outside of Portugal more than 6 months a year as long as those 6 months not consecutive over a 2 year period? How about after the first 2 years? As a world traveler, how would you or how could I maintain the residency to get the citizenship while traveling around the world?
The Portuguese Golden Visa Program has found its place in Budget proposals for 2023, so if they are actually thinking about closing the program, 2024 will be the year. So it's better to apply now
Not yet cancelling, but the process of receiving and re- newing GV takes ages - move than year now as minimum, with no limit for SEF to keep you waiting..2 years.. 3 years? Nobody knows.. And SEF not answering to inquiries and letters.. Reality is that Portugal is not welcoming people who invested substantial money into it's economy, and treat them very badly.. current situation is simply unbelievable.. do not recommend GV to anyone currently
My apologies if I missed it, but what's involved in getting a permanent residence visa, and thereafter, to maintain it, like any presence requirements? Thanks.
If you're talking about the D7 "passive income" visa, then you have to be in Portugal for six consecutive months, or eight months out of twelve. Note that you become a "tax resident" in Portugal after 182 days in the country in a year, but there is a tax treaty between Portugal and the United States so there's no double taxation.
She mentioned the language element, which if you can't look permanent residence requirements up on the internet, you won't be able to learn in 10⁹ years.
@@mrsith1402 That would be for citizenship. The A2 level is high beginner. One of the sample questions I saw on the test at the A2 level involved reading an ad for an apartment rental and getting information about the apartment, such as how many bedrooms were in the unit and if there was an elevator in the building. It is estimated it would take about 300 hours of study assuming you didn't know any Portuguese beforehand to reach the A2 level. The Portuguese government offers free language classes to foreigners so they can learn.
Er, I don't think Portugal is Europe 's oldest nation state. Hey, i like the place & one country I have ties with helped it beccome a country / nation. Really, I do hope due diligence is followed elsewhere just as carefully like Van Halen's rider.
we are. The modern concept of nation state implies a centralized authority with exclusive rights to impose certain powers. The creation and imposition of laws, taxation, currency, etc. Portugal was the first country where all these powers were the exclusive right of the sovereign. Other countries had feudal systems were those powers were spread over several institutions. Local nobles applied local laws and minted coins locally, the church had jurisdiction over certain aspects of societal norms (marriage and inheritance).
If I am rich why should I apply for any GV or second citizenship, I could apply for an American visa and with time get the green card which it gives me the entrance for many countries around the world.
You need to be super rich to apply for a US visa and in return, you will get citizenship where you will be taxed on your total income in US. So the tax implications of US citizenship are grave. Also if you are rich you want to live in a reasonably safe country.
@@sharkmiguel Quite right. No Spanish citizenship application can be made before 10 years residence, except for people from former colonies (think their wait is 2-3 years)

YO whats up with the crypto stuff in portugal??? no more crypto tax free? have seen they wanna do 28% on profits?? if you sell under one year (same like germany??) whats the actual status? is it allready like this?
It's simply incorrect: Portugal has some of the worst healthcare I have ever seen. They pay senior doctors a whopping €15 / hour as consultants. They don't take accountability whatsoever. When you escalate a complaint to the top - you get a standard letter stating the facts of your complaint and says it's down to a computer error that the people at the hospital take no accountability. I thought it was a joke, but got an identical letter the second time I complained. It's impossible when the hospital makes mistakes that could mean life or death to even speak to a manager/director at the hospital. A fluent bilingual translator could do nothing to help. The knowledge the doctors has was the way they operated in the medical industry in the 80's. I would not want to get sick in this country and will avoid Portuguese medical help at all costs. I rather travel to see a qualified person outside the country.
what a shame you've had such poor experiences. Many people (non-Portuguese) that I know have had good experiences. Perhaps it's the difference with you coming from within the EU/UK and those in the US where healthcare is horrendous, unless you are wealthy.
@@JenShea If nothing serious is wrong with you, you will be treated fine and quickly on private options... But it's no golden standard is all I try to say :)
