Part II
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks.
If you're serious about moving, you need a visa. Portugal has a few options, each with its own rules and perks.
Still shiny, but different!
Portugal’s Golden Visa program is still going strong, but it’s had a bit of a glow-up. While real estate alone no longer qualifies (which, honestly, helps ease pressure on the housing market), the updated program focuses on impactful, future-friendly investment.
At Atrium Real Estate, we know what it’s like to stand where you are, our founder is an American from Michigan who made the move herself, and several of our team members have done the same. That’s why we offer a no-fee discovery call designed just for Americans and expats: to help you explore your options, get clear answers to your questions, and see if the Golden Visa truly aligns with your goals!
If it’s the right path for you, we’ll guide you every step of the way, navigating the process and Portuguese bureaucracy with an American team already on the ground in Lisbon and Porto.
We’re dedicated to making your move as smooth and stress-free as possible, with real, firsthand insights from people who’ve actually made the leap!
Low residency requirements, family included, and a real path to citizenship. Plus, it’s a great “Plan B” if you want to lay foundations in Europe without having to move tomorrow.

Not rolling in dough? No worries! Portugal has other options:
Think of it like a long-term residency based on Social Security, rental income, or investments — similar to how U.S. retirees get residency in places like Mexico or Costa Rica.
Comparable to the U.S. E-2 or self-employment visa — ideal for those launching a business, freelancing, or investing in Portugal.
This is Portugal’s answer to the remote work revolution — like a visa for freelancers or remote employees with a U.S. income stream who want to live abroad.
Portugal’s equivalent to a U.S. EB-5 visa — a residency-by-investment program, offering a path to citizenship with minimal physical presence.
