For US-based clients contemplating residency in Portugal, the golden visa still emerges as a highly attractive avenue. Portugal Golden Visa presents minimal residency prerequisites, requiring permit holders to spend an average of seven days annually in Portugal to uphold residency status. Such flexibility is particularly advantageous for those engaged in professional activities or who are not yet prepared for a complete relocation to Portugal.
With an investment of 500,000 euros, investors can delve into hospitality management while also paving their way to residency and potentially citizenship in Portugal.
One notable aspect of this opportunity is the flexibility it offers in terms of funding.
Investors can utilize funds from their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and solo 401 (k) to fuel their investment endeavors. By leveraging IRAs and 401 (k) in this manner, investors not only diversify their retirement portfolios but also open doors to international residency and citizenship program.
Based on this scheme, if Stuart invests in the Golden Visa with his IRA funds, he will save 593 365$.

While IRAs/401(k) offer tax advantages, premature withdrawals come with hefty penalties and tax implications that could jeopardize long-term financial plans.
In contrast, Portugal’s Golden Visa program presents a compelling alternative, especially for those eyeing European residency and citizenship.
Through investment funds, individuals can embark on a journey towards Portuguese residency, with the enticing prospect of eventual citizenship.
When evaluating retirement investment options, it’s imperative to consider not only potential financial gains but also the associated tax consequences and supplementary benefits. While IRAs/401 (k) provide tax benefits, investors must tread carefully to avoid penalties. In contrast, Portugal’s Golden Visa program offers a pathway to residency and citizenship without tax penalties, alongside promising investment opportunities.
In summary, Portugal’s Golden Visa program stands as a beacon for investors seeking both financial security and international mobility. By strategically leveraging investment funds, individuals can secure their retirement while simultaneously paving the way for an exciting new chapter in Portugal.
