Americans: Can a US Citizen Invest in Portuguese Investment Funds?

Last Update 2 years ago
Yes, a US citizen can invest in an investment fund in order to obtain a Golden Visa in Portugal.
However, the IRS requires foreign financial institutions and certain non-financial foreign entities to report on the foreign assets held by their U.S. account holders. This means any bank, fund, and fund manager in Portugal, who has an American client or investor, is required to abide by heavy compliance implemented by the U.S. government.
This leads some banks and Portugal investment funds to shy away from working with investors, who are US citizens. Regardless, there are banks and Portugal funds, that accept Americans.
