For your financial means, you need to transfer the money to a Portuguese bank account. If you can get the money from the investment account to a Portuguese bank account, then it should work fine.

Yes! A residency video would be great. Thinking of retiring there, but that a couple years away. Is it ti early to begin the process?

@JuliaRochelleAbroad 3 жыл бұрын

It’s definitely not too early to research where in Portugal you may want to live, check out the NHR tax regime, learn the language, research homes and the types of builds if you’re planning to buy a property. Lots of new things to learn! Some paperwork needs to be done closer to the application, but there’s no harm in getting familiar with the process early as long as you don’t get stressed about changes. It will probably change in some way if you’re years away

Great video Julia! I am a non EU citizen and would like to know if; instead of having to apply for a residency visa and then having to go to Portugal to apply for residency permit, Is it possible to apply for a residency permit straight away from my home country? And if so, do I need to have a fiscal representative(attorney) when I get the NIF number online? Thank you. Karl

@JuliaRochelleAbroad 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Karl, unfortunately you can't apply straight away for the temporary residence permit. That has to be done with SEF and requires the visa, which has to be processed through the consulate in your home country. When you first get the NIF, you will need a fiscal representative.

I am near Austin Texas and find it difficult to find planes to fly from Texas to Portugal. I would not mind fly to Spain first then travel to PT by Bus, do you have any advice on travelling to PT from Central Texas. Austin will be the nearest airport unless there is Domestic plane from Killeen Forthood area which will be the best. I also try DC and NY, just the same difficulties. I used to fly Norwegian to Europe and would like to learn more options. Multiple stops to stay in different countries or cities around PT is doable as I enjoy travel by BUS in Europe.

Approval based on travel plans seems to be phasing out. Health insurance plans in Portugal are reasonably priced. Mine is around €30/month. You can try to find a bank in Portugal who will work with you online or set up an account in-person on a scouting trip. The easiest way is through a service like Bordr. if you use this link, you can get a small discount on the services: bordr.com/pricing-packages/?via=juliarochelle (full disclosure, I get a small commission at no extra cost to you if you use the link)
