Portugal Golden Visa 2026 Update: Funds, Tax Residency, Self-Directed IRAs & Crypto Options
What are the current Portugal Golden Visa investment options in 2026, and could a US Self-Directed IRA (SIDRA) or cryptocurrency holdings potentially be used to fund a qualifying investment?In this webinar, we explore the latest Portugal Golden Visa rules following the end of the real estate investment route, including qualifying investment funds, company investment and cultural donations. We also discuss how eligible US investors may potentially use a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) or other retirement funds to invest in a qualifying Portuguese Golden Visa fund, subject to appropriate US legal and tax advice, and how cryptocurrency holdings may potentially be converted into euros for an eligible fund investment, subject to banking and compliance requirements.The Portugal Golden Visa remains a flexible route to Portuguese residency for eligible investors, with a minimum stay requirement of just seven days per year. Unlike residency routes such as the D7 and D8, it may allow investors to maintain Portuguese residency without relocating permanently or automatically becoming Portuguese tax residents, while also creating opportunities for eligible family members and providing a potential pathway towards Portuguese citizenship.Whether you are exploring Portugal residency by investment, considering a future move to Portugal, looking at Portugal Golden Visa funds, or interested in how retirement accounts and digital assets may fit into a wider international investment strategy, this webinar provides an up-to-date overview of the options and important considerations involved.👤 Expert Guest – Ei!

Discover Tomar, Portugal: Knights Templar History, Hidden Gems & Local Traditions
Discover Tomar, Portugal: Knights Templar History, Hidden Gems & Local Traditions (with Sara Cruz)This episode is a local’s guide to Tomar in central Portugal, led virtually by Sara Cruz of Go Walks Portugal, focusing on the town’s history, culture, and everyday life. The discussion highlights Tomar’s setting on the River Nabão and its major landmarks, especially the UNESCO-listed Convent of Christ and its Rotunda, along with Praça da República, Parque do Mochão, and Portugal’s oldest synagogue reflecting Tomar’s Jewish heritage. Sara emphasizes exploring lesser-known details, including remnants of former convent architecture and the 17th-century aqueduct, which is accessible but requires caution. The conversation also covers unconventional stops like a ceramics and tile workshop, the Matchbox Museum, Café Paraíso, and key events such as the four-year Festa dos Tabuleiros and annual Knights Templar historical recreations. Nearby, the Almourol Castle on the Tagus is recommended, with notes on boat access and its later propaganda use, plus suggestions for multi-day visits including Vila Nova da Barquinha and Dornes.00:00 Welcome to Tomar01:51 Meet Your Guide Sara04:24 Knights Templar Origins05:32 Convent of Christ Highlights06:36 Town Sights and Synagogue07:56 Beyond the Surface Walks10:04 Aqueduct Adventure Tips11:55 Unconventional Tomar Finds13:33 Festa dos Tabuleiros16:35 Templar Festival Reenactments18:18 Day Trips to Almourol23:12 Templars and Portugal’s Borders25:18 Visit Tomar and Final ThanksFind out more and contact our guest Sara Cruz from GO Walks!
