I’d love to speak with you. I’m preparing for a deposition I have to take on Monday (I’m a lawyer) so after that is behind me, I’ll have time to speak. I just had a conversation with a retired lawyer who’s wife has Italian heritage and who has been on that track you are considering for 2.5 years and she just gave up on it due to what she was told by her lawyer could take anywhere from another 2-5 years.
Portugal has now ended the residential real estate path for the Golden Visa but there are other options that you might be able to qualify for since you have a business. The Golden Visa has its drawbacks, particularly the time it takes. Portugal’s immigration service is notoriously backlogged and sclerotic. I think that’s true for most of Europe.
There is also the Nomad visa that I’ve heard is pretty easy to qualify for since you’re going to meet the minimum income requirements and there’s also the D7 for people with passive income recipients that you might qualify for. The incomes are so low in Portugal that the income requirements for these alternative visa programs are relatively easy to meet for Americans.
If you’re interested in Portugal, Spain or Ireland, I recommend looking into Global Citizen Solutions, a company that acts as your agent and is a great resource to get you through the process. I am using GCS and I’ve met it’s representatives in their office in Lisboa. I have nothing but praise for them. I’m friendly with the owner if you’d like an introduction. The realtor GCS furnished me with went above the call of duty and he’s become a friend who I visit every time I go back to Portugal. Here’s GCS’s website: https://www.globalcitizensolutions.com
Let me know when it would be convenient to speak next week. I’m west coast PST.
