About the Portugal Golden Visa

Through the Portuguese residency-by-investment programme, and with a minimum investment of €500,000, you can qualify for temporary residency and a direct pathway to eventual citizenship. Portuguese citizenship gives you the right to live, work and study in the EU.

Benefits include:

  • Attractive investment fund options: Matched to your preferred risk profile
  • Dual citizenship: Portugal does not impose restrictions on dual citizenship
  • No government contribution: 100% of investment funds can be invested into a qualifying investment fund
  • Minimum annual stay: Portuguese residency can be maintained with minimum in-country stay (average seven days a year)
  • Route to Portuguese citizenship: Golden Visa residency offers investors the chance to naturalise as Portuguese nationals without the need to relocate
  • Freedom of movement: Portuguese citizens can live, work, study and/or retire in any EU member state
  • Euro growth and capital appreciation: Investors can enjoy steady growth and long-term capital appreciation over duration of the programme
  • Family benefits: Investors can include a spouse, partner, minor children, financially dependent adult children, parents and parents-in-law

Use your IRA to secure a Golden Visa in Portugal

Did you know you can use your existing retirement funds to invest overseas – and gain a path to European residency?

A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) gives you the power to invest in alternative assets, including real estate, private equity and foreign investments abroad. With the right structure in place, your SDIRA can directly fund a qualifying Golden Visa investment — all while keeping your retirement savings tax-advantaged.

How it works:

  • You open an SDIRA with an IRS-approved custodian and roll over funds from your current IRA or 401(k).
  • The SDIRA sets up a dedicated trust to make the investment — giving you checkbook control.
  • The trust invests in a qualifying investment for the Portugal Golden Visa — no personal tax hit, no penalties.
  • The SDIRA remains a tax-exempt entity — allowing your investment to grow tax-free inside your retirement account.

Why this matters:

  • Many Americans don’t realise they can leverage their retirement savings to pursue international lifestyle goals.
  • A Golden Visa offers residency, travel rights within Europe, and future citizenship options — all funded through an efficient, tax-smart vehicle.
