FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a Portuguese account needed for the Golden Visa?

Yes, typically, to route the qualifying investment — we set it up alongside your application.

Can it be opened remotely?

Often, with a representative and proper documentation — we confirm per bank.

Can you guarantee the account will be approved?

No adviser can. Banks decide on their own criteria. We prepare your file to the standard that gives it the best chance and are candid about the options.

Do I have to visit in person?

It depends on the institution and its current procedures. We tell you what is required for your case before you commit.

This page is general information, not legal advice, and no attorney–client relationship is formed by reading it. Program, tax and filing rules change; we confirm the specifics for your situation at consultation.
