Portugal's
Golden Visa
Golden Visa Direct and its sister company, Golden Visa Capital, were founded and are led by Amy Short, an entrepreneur, investment banker, and pro-social investor who is American and is also, herself, an immigrant to Portugal.
Amy combines the expertise of a seven figure CEO with a personalized touch of a boutique firm. In tandem with years creating and consulting for multi-million dollar companies and leading investor education programs, Amy mastered the business of Portugal's Golden Visa. Amy's focus marries supporting fellow global investors in finding their way to EU citizenship and leading quality funds, businesses, and cultural projects in Portugal to funding access.
Amy has made in-roads in Portugal so that your path to Portuguese residency and EU citizenship is as clear, comfortable, and straightforward as possible.
Our team provides valuable insights and advice tailored to your specific needs and objectives. Whether you're a seasoned investor or exploring the Golden Visa program for the first time, our expertise will guide you through every step.
Amy and her team are passionate about helping global investors to secure a border free future for themselves and their families without stress or confusion. When you leverage passive investments for passive immigration benefits, the luxury of global access and geopolitical peace of mind can be yours from the comfort of home.

Benefits of working with Amy
Here's what you can count on as a client:
Transformative Support
All Golden Visa Direct clients move from doubtful to deliberate, overwhelmed to anchored, and shift their understanding of Portugal's Golden Visa process from incomprehensible to enlightened. Knowing what is needed and what to expect is a given with Golden Visa Direct.
I leverage my experience in private investing, Portuguese immigration, and cross-border tax exposure to guide you around pitfalls and through to the finish line.
Clients of Golden Visa Direct are introduced to members of a cohort talented of English speaking professionals based in Portugal to assist with legal, tax, and immigration matters.
Stacked Impact
We're fiduciaries committed to care and impactful dynamics at Golden Visa Direct. Our clients are assured options that are possible, financially feasible, wise, and win-win.
We'll move at your pace. We'll keep it strategic and low-stress. We'll prioritize paths forward that maximize our collective impact: elevating your global access and protecting your tax exposure while putting your capital to work, not only toward legal residency and citizenship but also toward growth: you can spur Portugal's economy through programs that align with your values: impact entrepreneurship, tech for good, modernization. You can invest in public markets toward liquid capital preservation. You can donate to cultural production and historical preservation.
American Business Sensibility
Portuguese business culture is vastly different than the American way of doing business. Bypass the culture shock by working with me. Receive clear information, timely responses, quality introductions, and rest easy knowing that I'm a regulated securities professional.
