Using the Golden Visa to reunite a family in Portugal

Jasper, an accomplished entrepreneur from the US who serves on the board of a restaurant chain based in Portugal, relocated to Vale do Lobo, Portugal, seven years ago.

Through consultations with Portugal Pathways, Jasper and his wife explored various visa possibilities and concluded that the Golden Visa would be the ideal option for them then.

The Golden Visa has been a perfect fit, granting them residency and access to Schengen EU member nations and the Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) tax regime. This was perfect for their European travel plans and significantly reduced their tax burden compared to their high progressive tax status in the United States. Portugal Pathways has also provided them with opportunities to invest further and enrich their lives in Portugal with significant capital growth on their assets within the highly advantageous NHR tax system.

Last year, Jasper wanted his daughter and her family to join him in Vale do Lobo. His daughter, however, was apprehensive about the move and concerned with potential obstacles to obtaining residency. Additionally, the shift would substantially alter her young family's life. Despite her ability to work remotely, his daughter's career would still require occasional trips back to the USA, adding to her challenge.
