Living the Dream? Ron's Retirement in Portugal

[@dudleymeier5872]

Now that was good!! One of the most informative videos I have watched over the past 3 or 4 years on moving to Portugal/Cascais.

São João is -not- just Porto especific festival, it is celebrated in Lisbon and many other places. Porto is though, the most well known, wildest São João feast of Portugal. 🎉😊

That's exactly what we mean. It's a festival here but not every where unlike June 10th. - Josh

Our pleasure! Thanks for listening. - Josh

Let Ron know he doesn't have to translate the driver's record. Definitely has to apostile it with the state.

He keeps referring to "maintain that investment". Does that mean further cash outflow to maintain a fluctuating balance?

[@ExpatsEverywherePodcast]

Could you timestamp the moment that you're referring to? I believe he's talking about maintaining the investment money in the actual investment for a period of time. Meaning that you can't apply for a golden visa and after putting your application in, withdraw the money from the property (past offer) or fund (current offer). - Josh

I'm super interested in the golden Visa option. I think it's a great way to start working toward citizenship before retirement, and before moving to PT. Now that the nhr is gone, no need to be a tax resident with the golden Visa, I believe. I've seen investment schemes that will give you a return on your investment as well. All in all, if you have the money, it seems like a great option.

Hi Miranda, thanks for listening and the comment. We actually had a really interesting and exciting call with company that helps people with all sorts of golden visas as we're working on a new piece of content. They told us about 3 different GV products in Portugal that they have access to that range from €325k to €500k. The two that are less than €500k pay the interest up front.
