To most tourists, investors, and entrepreneurs alike, living in Europe can feel like a dream. Including or excluding Schengen countries, there are countless countries in Eastern Europe that are worth checking out.
A popular immigration program across Europe is called the Golden Visa Fund. It’s exceptionally widespread through member states of the European Union.
Countries like Portugal, Spain, Ireland, Greece, and more, offer this visa scheme. It gives off a few benefits at a much faster pace than applying for citizenship through descent or naturalization.
However, the main “setback” for this citizenship program is you’d have to bring out more money. This is Europe’s answer to the Caribbean’s citizenship by investment program.
There are other types of residence permits that many people overlook. In this video, Andrew shares all the details with you and explains how to live in Europe without a Golden Visa.

One thing about the tax situation for an American is if you think of your health insurance premiums as a tax, then Portugal starts making even more sense. Portugal will let you begin using the public health care system as soon as you establish residency, which you can supplement with your own private insurance, which is much cheaper than in the United States. It isn't hard to get the self-sufficient residency visa, you just need to show monthly income that's more than the Portuguese minimum wage (currently €705 per month). They also want to see a Portugese bank account with 12 months of minimum wage in it (€8,460) and a place to live in Portugal for at least 6 months. Immigration lawyers don't push it that much since the fees are much lower (less than $150 not counting costs getting the documents) than the "golden visa", but it takes less time to process, usually around 60 days. One thing to be aware about Portugal is they are going through a major restructuring of their immigration services after a major scandal after an immigrant died in custody of the border protection services (in America, that is called Tuesday).

Thank you. I was looking hard at the 7% tax regime in Souther Italy. I was recently told by a tax advisor however that the US looks at this special tax regime different than a standard tax so I can not claim as a foreign tax credit on my US tax return. So even though it is low by EU standards it is still an incremental 7% on WW income. Is this your understanding as well?

@VictorGersten 2 жыл бұрын

Also keep in mind, when you file your U.S tax return, you'll might federal income tax on certain income. So you could potentially be paying federal income tax plus the 7% which cannot be used as foreign tax credit

I recently got my Dominican Republic birth certificate and national ID card. I have been going through the citizenship by descent process since July 2021, or June 2021 if you count the time it took to get my US birth certificate, which was needed for the process. I will soon get my passport. This will give me visa-free access to Russia. I would also like to get citizenship in an EU country and my Dominican citizenship will allow me to apply for Spanish citizenship with two years of residency, instead of the usual 10. Anyone with a citizenship of Ibero-America (including those with Puerto Rican citizenship), Portugal, Andorra, the Philippines, Equatorial Guinea, or France, or if a person is a Sephardi Jew, he or she can apply for Spanish citizenship after two years of living in Spain. If you marry a Spaniard, the residency time required would be reduced to just one year. If you can prove that you have Sephardic Jewish ancestry, you can also gain citizenship in Portugal, without ever setting foot there, or making an investment.

The immigration department is being restructured at the moment. That's one of the reasons for the delays. Very difficult to reach someone on the phone...Also, processing time can depend on which disrtrict you are applying to move to---i.e. which district your Portugal lease/title is registered in: those districts around Lisbon and Porto, for example, where more foreigners apply to live, have more applications backed up and therefore can take longer to process than applications for a visa to live in, say, Bragança.

One big thing to keep in mind also is what your income sources are. If you are actually retired, and have all you income from US sourced retirement (social security, 401k, IRA, pensions), then France has an excellent tax treaty whereby you are taxed by the US only on that income, and not by France.

@owenbreward4974 9 ай бұрын

Yes, but if you're living abroad, the first $100k for US taxpayers is tax exempt. And if you're married, that doubles to $200k. And although I'm not American, I just know a lot how live overseas and have this exemption, I'm not sure of income generated in the USA (e.g., pensions, IRA etc) are covered under this or not. But if you're thinking about travelling more in retirement, any American moving abroad should consider this factor.

Despite the tax incentives of Portugal, such as a 10% flat tax for some, you need to remember that a U.S. person still files taxes in the U.S., and thus if their tax bracket in the U.S. was 22%, then your tax base becomes the minimal federal U.S tax rates. For those who aren’t U.S. tax persons , the 10% flat means 10%. For Americans, it means = your minimal US tax base. I agree a lot of tax planning needs to be done. Also, in Spain, if you are American, the path for citizenship takes 10 years. Still, if you were born in Latin American counties, including Puerto Rico , Brazil, and Filipinos, then it’s only 2.

I am also interested in these two options specifically. To answer your question I know proof of income. Not so sure if a lump sum in the bank qualifies here. It might. I have Italian ancestors and have a pretty good shot at dual citizenship with a team working on it. For me there was a problem with the bloodline because my Grandfather was born right after my Great grand father came to Ellis island in New York. Looks like I have an in with my Maternal side. Keeping my fingers crossed. If that falls through I would be very happy with Portugal. At the end of the day, the bottom line is that Italy has more to offer. It's Italy. Some may disagree. I think the topography, culture, central location, endless lakes, cities, villages, beaches, islands, mountains, cuisine, people, ect is going to be a tough act to follow for any nation big or small. But having said that, Portugal has a lot going for it. I think you can reside in Portugal on an elective visa (have enough money to not need a job in Portugal, self employed is ok). You would need an income to show of around 500EU per month. All the while earning credit for citizenship with time spent in the country. Thanks Portugal. It's a reasonable entry requirement if you have the time, cash and interest in the country. Does anyone out there know the exact minimum investment in real estate for Golden visa in Portugal? 250k? Is it? To reside in Italy on an elective visa is going to be a steeper climb of 3000EU per month to show the authorities you have enough behind you to stay. Perhaps if you owned a property and paid some taxes and could show 1300 in monthly income and some bank....... I would say anything is possible. Don't quote me on that. In Italy things can be very "by the book" make no mistake........... or somewhat "who you know"...... In my experience it could go either way depending what your bringing to the table. Expect more "by the book" than not. Hope that helps.

How much you need to invest?

@krmilstead 2 жыл бұрын

@@synewparadigm No investment required for DAFT - other than depositing around 4000 euros in a Dutch business bank account. These are basically funds to get you home if your business does not succeed. These funds are in your control at all times, but your visa cannot be renewed if you withdraw them. You DO have to be a US citizen and self-employed through your own Dutch company. Process is relatively easy (and automatic approval unless you have disqualifying factors - e.g. criminal record). Entire process cost me around 2500 euros in fees (visa application, business registration, apostiles for US documents, etc.) and took around 3 months. Unlike many EU programs, you need to complete this process WITHIN the Netherlands, and they give you a temporary visa at your first appointment with IND. In fact, the first step of the process is to rent an apartment or purchase a property in the Netherlands since you need a Dutch address to apply.

Dual citizenship with USA allowed. More appreciation of aesthetics and fashion, art, history, literature, everything I love!! And MUCH LESS VIOLENT.

Something you said at the beginning intrigued me. You said if you get residence in a Schengen country that theoretically you could live in any Schengen country. So for example if I got Portugal's D7 Visa could I live in any Schengen country I wanted. Let's say Germany?

@DRC85 2 жыл бұрын

In general I think the answer to that is no, but its not really enforceable. If you are able to keep an address in for example Portugal, theres nothing stopping you from buying/renting in Germany and living most of the time there, although technically illegal.
