Find out answers to frequently asked questions about life and investment in Portugal
Does an investment in an alternative investment fund approved for Golden Visa count toward eventual citizenship?
A qualifying Golden Visa route can support eligibility to apply for permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship after the qualifying period, provided compliance remains in place throughout. Authorities assess each application against the legal requirements, which can include language certification.
Do I still need to pay tax in the USA when I move to Portugal?
Yes, U.S. citizens and green card holders have to pay federal taxes on their worldwide assets no matter where they live. This means you have to file taxes in both America and Portugal. There are additional forms you have to file while living abroad and if you fail to file your taxes on time you might have to pay a penalty.
Do I need to pass a language test for the Golden Visa programme?
No. The Golden Visa application does not require a language test. An A2-level Portuguese language certification is commonly required for permanent residency or citizenship applications after the qualifying period. Portugal Pathways can share information on typical certification routes and introduce advisers who can confirm requirements.
Do Americans need a visa to live in Portugal and is it easy to get?
Yes, Americans will need a residence visa to stay in Portugal permanently. In the shorter term, there are work visa, passive income visas and golden visas that all offer the visas you will need to be in the country for the 5 years you need before you can earn permanent residence or citizenship.
Do I need a NIF (fiscal number) in Portugal for the Golden Visa?
Yes. A NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) and a Portuguese bank account are standard requirements during the application process.
