For a growing number of American families, the question is no longer whether to explore life beyond the United States, but when and how to do it well. For several years now, Portugal has been considered one of the best countries to move to for Americans due to its safety, proximity to the United States, and variety of visa options for freelancers, digital nomads, retirees, and investors. Now, anyone seriously weighing that decision has a chance to sit down with Europe’s most successful residency and citizenship expert in person.
Holborn is hosting a series of in-person events across the United States this May with Jason Swan, Europe’s leading residency and golden visa advisor. These sessions are purposely kept to a small size and designed to give attendees a chance to have a real conversation with Mr. Swan. Several cities have already sold out including Santa Barbara, California on May 5th and Los Angeles on May 7th, but there are still spots available in San Francisco (May 2nd), Monterey (May 3rd), San Diego (May 9th and 10th), and Washington, D.C. (May 13th).

Why Portugal
Portugal offers something increasingly difficult to find in the United States: a safe, stable environment combined with a genuinely high quality of life. The pace is slower, the food is excellent, and the country averages more than 300 days of sunshine per year. There’s also a structured investment route through regulated funds that gives families a clear, compliant path forward. Tax considerations under the updated NHR 2.0 framework remain attractive for those who plan carefully, and residency in Portugal opens the door to Europe more broadly both for travel and for educational and investment opportunities.
For many Americans, Portugal represents the chance to have a Plan B. Getting residency in a second country or eventually a second citizenship gives families an effective backup plan whatever the future holds. Visa-free travel to over 180 countries, more business opportunities, access to public or private healthcare, potential tax advantages, and the right to live, work, and study in Portugal are all part of the package.
What These In-Person Seminars Will Cover
Each session is built around the questions Americans actually ask. Jason will walk attendees through how the Golden Visa works in 2026, what has changed under recent legislation, and what current timelines look like including the latest immigration agency (AIMA) updates that affect application processing. Tax considerations specific to US citizens will be addressed, and there’s also a clear explanation of the long-term path from initial residency to potential citizenship, so families will understand the full timeline before committing.
What sets these seminars apart is the format. There will be plenty of time for the specific, sometimes complicated questions that come up when you’re seriously considering relocating your life and possibly your business.
About Jason Swan
Jason Swan has spent more than a decade helping high-net-worth clients secure second residency and citizenship through investment. He works independently and in partnership with Holborn Assets, one of the world’s leading international wealth management groups.
Jason can help cut through the legal and financial complexity and explain what’s actually involved in getting your residency or citizenship in Portugal. Families leave his consultations knowing what’s possible, what the process realistically requires, and whether the Golden Visa makes sense for their specific situation. That clarity is part of why he has been recognized as the No. 1 Adviser in Europe for four consecutive years.

If you’ve been thinking about Portugal, even casually, attending one of these sessions is the most efficient way to get accurate, current information from someone who handles these applications every day. The events are free to attend, but spaces are limited and several cities are nearly full.
For those who can’t make an in-person date, Holborn is also running a live webinar on May 20 so no one has to miss out. Once you become a client, applications can be tracked from start to finish in the Holborn App, which functions as an all-in-one financial management tool you can carry in your pocket.
This is a rare chance to spend real time with the advisor that serious investors call first. If Portugal has been on your mind, book your seat while there are still spots available.
