How to Use Your 401(k) or IRA to Invest in a Portuguese Golden Visa Fund?

To make the process easier, we work with a trusted U.S.-based SDIRA custodian experienced in Golden Visa and Portuguese investment fund structures. While you’re free to choose your own, this custodian is fully prepared to facilitate your investment into eligible funds without the need to open an LLC in the U.S. or Portugal.

If you’re considering this path, the first step is to verify whether your current retirement account allows for a rollover into a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA). Once confirmed, you’ll choose a custodian that allows for direct investment into international funds regulated Golden Visa vehicle in Portugal.

Jasmine Smith

"I want to say a big thank you to Atlantic Bridge Consulting and Investment for all your help in getting our residence cards. Your team's professionalism, dedication, and support have been amazing. Having you by our side made what seemed like an overwhelming task manageable, and your support made all the difference during this stressful time.

We are really grateful for everything you've done and appreciate the exceptional service."

Ron Engels

"Everyone I worked with at Atlantic Bridge to get my D7 visa for Portugal was a pleasure to work with. The whole staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Even with a seven hours time difference, communication between us was quick and accurate. They made sure I had all the information I needed in the format I needed it. Many of the people at VFS getting their paperwork submitted took an hour to finish. I was done in less than 20 minutes.

I highly recommend that you contract with Atlantic Bridge as you make your emigration plans."

Gregory Mosley

"My experience with Atlantic Bridge was a 10. Leticia Mezzari treated me with respect, professionalism, and most of all I was treated with outstanding love that would be given to a parent or grandparent. I was informed and guided in the right direction with patience. Leticia recommended me to a great banker Sandra Freitas and plus Ms Sylvia’s newsletters are tremendous and very insightful.

Once again thank you Leticia and the whole Atlantic Bridge organization."
