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.

American Business Sensibility
