About the Event:

As American demand for Portugal’s Golden Visa program grows, so do the cross-border tax compliance risks. U.S. citizens and green card holders participating in Portuguese funds face reporting and compliance obligations that are often overlooked, resulting in investor exposure to audit and penalties for unreported investments.

This webinar introduces our new service offering: Golden Visa U.S. Tax & Compliance Review, a streamlined service designed for your American clients to ensure they receive a compliance assessment and clear written analysis tailored to their investment as well as certification that they have received U.S. tax counsel on the investment, which they can provide to funds.

Why This Matters for Funds and Advisors

Too often, U.S. tax compliance and exposure related to a Golden Visa investment only arise after the investment is made, leaving investors exposed, funds vulnerable to litigation, and professionals behind the curve. Our compliance review provides a referral pathway for advisors and a risk management tool for funds.

In this webinar, we’ll explain:

  • American investors’ U.S. reporting and compliance obligations when investing in a Portuguese Golden Visa fund

  • How our compliance review helps investors file correctly, and helps you ensure your file reflects responsible action

  • What deliverables the investors receive, including a written letter confirming that they understand the risks of using SDIRA or other retirement assets, and are proceeding with full knowledge of the U.S. tax implications

  • How this documentation helps funds reduce regulatory and litigation exposure by showing investors received appropriate counsel before subscribing

Who Should Attend

  • Fund managers seeking a clear process for managing U.S. investor compliance

  • Attorneys advising American Golden Visa applicants

  • Advisors and intermediaries who want a simple referral solution that protects clients and professionals alike
