Secure a Second Residency in Europe.
Without Leaving the U.S.
Portugal’s Golden Visa is the most flexible residency-by-investment program in Europe, perfect for U.S. citizens seeking a future-proof second home, a global backup plan, or a path to EU citizenship.
Unlike other European programs, Portugal allows you to maintain your U.S. lifestyle while quietly securing long-term residency rights, and eventually, a powerful EU passport.
Why Portugal?
The most flexible residency program in Europe. Here is why U.S. Citizens choose it:
Minimal Stay Requirement
Maintain residency with just 7 days per year (or 14 days every 2 years). No relocation required.
Clear Path to Citizenship
Apply for permanent residency or a Portuguese passport after 5 years, without living full-time in Portugal.
Family-Friendly
Include your spouse, dependent children, and dependent parents in one application process.
Schengen Zone Access
Enjoy visa-free travel across 26 European countries once your residency is approved.
Safe, Stable & Strategic
Portugal offers political stability, warm climate, top healthcare, English-speaking locals, and tax incentives, making it one of Europe’s most strategic residency options.
You don’t need to navigate the Portugal Golden Visa alone.
At TADE Consulting, we offer local, U.S.-based support for clients exploring second residency in Portugal, with access to a wide range of trusted options.
Whether you’re looking at Golden Visa routes, passive income residency, or long-term relocation, we help you understand the real differences, and requirements.
You’ll get unbiased guidance, personal attention, and a clear path aligned with your goals, whether you’re building a backup plan, planning retirement, or creating global mobility for your family.
