Why Trust Us
Navigating the Portugal Golden Visa program can be complex — from choosing the right investment fund to meeting legal and banking requirements. At Golden Visa Funds, we simplify the process through a flexible, partnership-based model that puts your needs first.
A Tailored, End-to-End Solution — or Just the Services You Need
We work with three independent, highly specialized firms:
- Nomera Capital – Investment advisory
- Pares Advogados – Legal services
- Banco Atlântico Europa – Banking and custody
You can engage with all three as a seamless, flat-fee, end-to-end service — or select only the partners you need. For example, if you already have legal counsel and a banking relationship, you may choose to work exclusively with Nomera Capital for investment advisory. Alternatively, if you already have an investment partner, you might only require Pares Advogados for legal support.
We believe in flexibility — you're in control.
Independence: Our Core Strength
Each partner in our model operates independently. There are no shared commissions between the firms, and no financial ties between the legal team and any fund managers. This ensures completely unbiased, conflict-free advice across the entire process. Our structure is built around transparency, so your interests always come first.

Testimonials about our work
Explore firsthand experiences from our global clients who've successfully obtained the Portugal Golden Visa with our help. These testimonials showcase the impact of our expert guidance and personalized support on their residency and investment journeys.
"As U.S. citizens, we were looking for a way to diversify our assets internationally amid growing uncertainty at home — both politically and economically. The Portugal Golden Visa offered not just a gateway to Europe, but also a long-term path to citizenship for our family.
What caught us off guard was the overwhelming number of fund options and so-called advisors aggressively pushing products we couldn't fully vet or trust. That changed when we found Nomera Capital and Pares Advogados. Their transparent, conservative approach gave us immediate confidence. They weren't trying to sell us anything — just guiding us with solid, fact-based insights.
We especially appreciated their independence and how clearly they separated legal and investment matters. It felt like they were on our side, not part of some commission-driven machine. In a landscape full of noise and questionable schemes, they stood out for their integrity and professionalism.
If you're considering the Portugal Golden Visa, we strongly recommend speaking with them first."
"From the USA to Portugal, the journey to obtain the Golden Visa seemed overwhelming. Yet, the team's professionalism, clarity, and support made all the difference. Their detailed advice and the wealth of information they provided were beyond expectations. They've been instrumental in our successful application, demonstrating their commitment to excellence at every turn."

"We were based in the UAE, where a multitude of international immigration advisors seemed eager to steer us toward a hospitality-related fund we didn't feel comfortable with—and offered no clear explanation of their selection criteria. Determined to secure our children's future and preserve our global mobility via the Portugal Golden Visa, we encountered nothing but confusing and misleading information online. Partnering with Nomera Capital and PARES Advogados was a game-changer: they cut through the noise, provided transparent guidance, and helped us avoid unsuitable investments. Their dedication to our best interests and their clear, trustworthy advice gave us a reliable 'Plan B.' We wholeheartedly recommend them for anyone navigating the Golden Visa process."
