Day 1/15 - What are my goals for learning my target language?
Target Language: European Portuguese
I am hoping to learn European Portuguese because I would love to be able to communicate with my family. Majority of my family was born and raised in Portugal, so English is their second language.
Edit: totally forgot to mention I also want to get dual citizenship in Portugal since the only requirement I am not meeting is the language one!

I don’t want to instigate, but what do u think about how there’s apparently no marriage license? MA marriage licenses are public and I assume someone would have found it online by now, but nothing
First of all, you do want to instigate or you wouldn’t have sent this ask.
Secondly, not all marriage licenses are immediately available after the wedding even though it is a legal marriage. In some states it can take a couple of months before the married couple receives a copy of their own marriage certificate. For Massachusetts specifically, the officiant has 60 days to submit the signed marriages license and it can then take another 2-3 weeks before a copy of the marriage certificate is created and mailed out. If people are trying to obtain a copy of the certificate (which hello MASSIVE privacy violation there. Gross.) it’s entirely possible they’re searching too soon. This information can be found on Mass.gov.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
But to that point, yes, these records are public, but it is not free to obtain a copy or look up that information. I don’t know about you all, but I don’t care to fork over my own money and personal identification to get a copy for myself.
If you visit Mass.gov you can see that information for yourself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Third, we did have an anon come in and make a great point recently. (I can’t remember if we posted this ask or not, so I apologize to the anon if we didn’t.) it’s entirely possible the Mass wedding was basically a wedding for “show” for people who couldn’t travel, but wasn’t a legally binding one. It’s possible the wedding that took place in Portugal was the legally binding wedding because Portugal keeps marriage records private. The marriage would still be accepted as real via US laws because Chris is a US citizen. It also does not impend Alba’s potential request for citizenship in the future should she want that. It IS also legal for her to obtain an ID/drivers license in Massachusetts without being a US citizen as well. This is all easy information to find via Google, but would require like 10 more screenshots, so I’m not going to include all of them here. But you can easily find that information online.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
And lastly, passing around a copy of the marriage license is an extreme violation of their privacy (because it will contain personal information) in my opinion. A lot of you were screaming at us for “violating privacy” by simply sharing they were engaged. I hope you all have the same energy towards people who want to dig through for copies of a marriage license. Because yikes.

IEC Working Holiday:
An additional 1,903 IEC solicitations were conveyed during the week of September 20.
This week experienced an increase of 718 invitations, reflecting a somewhat larger draw.
The nations that gotten the most elevated number of solicitations this week are as takes after:
United Kingdom Working Occasion – 500 solicitations
Taiwan Working Holiday – 164 invitations
Australia Working Holiday – 162 invitations
Chile Working Holiday – 144 invitations
Ireland Working Holiday – 102 invitations
Numerous countries continue to possess a strong likelihood of success; however, the following nations are identified as having a significantly low probability of obtaining an invitation in 2024. 
The countries highlighted in bold have been newly added this year:
Austria – WH
Chile – WH
Costa Rica – WH
France – WH
Greece – WH
Greece – YP
Hong Kong – WH
Japan – WH
Latvia – WH
Latvia – YP
Lithuania – WH
South Korea – WH
Spain – WH
United Kingdom – WH.
Additionally, the Belgium Working Holiday program has seen a decline, now categorized as having fair odds of receiving an invitation in the upcoming round.
Our records show that more than 117,700 IEC solicitations have been issued in this way distant, clearing out around 17,800 positions accessible for the 2024 season. Currently, there are 37,126 candidates in the pool, reflecting an increase of 602 candidates compared to the previous week.
The number of candidates in the pool exceeds the available spots, and this disparity is growing each week, suggesting that not all individuals awaiting an invitation in the IEC pool will be successful this year.
The following programs are witnessing the most intense competition for the remaining invitations:
France – WH: The candidate pool has increased by 415, now totaling 23,173 candidates.
United Kingdom – WH: There has been an addition of 16 candidates, bringing the total to 2,355, despite a significant number of invitations issued.
South Korea – WH: The pool has grown by 99 candidates, now comprising 2,355 individuals.
Holiday Visa for Employment:
Youths from more than 30 participating nations have the opportunity to travel to Canada for a working holiday. The process for obtaining a working holiday permit involves three key steps: first, entering the pool if you meet the eligibility criteria; second, awaiting an invitation; and third, traveling to Canada. This article will address each of these steps in detail.
Gaining work experience during your International Experience Canada (IEC) working holiday can be beneficial, as it may contribute to your application for permanent residency in Canada through the Express Entry system.
It is critical to note that the wellbeing protections prerequisite is more complex than numerous IEC working occasion members may anticipate. Insufficient health insurance coverage could lead to a reduction in the duration of your work permit or, in certain instances, result in the denial of your work permit application altogether.
The fee for a working holiday visa amounts to CAD$357, which includes a processing fee of $172, an open work permit holder fee of $100, and biometrics fees totaling $85.
IEC International Cooperative Work Permits:
To qualify for an IEC International Co-Op work permit, candidates must meet the following criteria:
Be enrolled as a student at a recognized post-secondary institution.
Provide a signed letter confirming a job offer or an employment contract for a work placement or internship in Canada. This internship must be relevant to the applicant’s field of study and fall under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) TEER categories 0, 1, 2, or 3. In specific situations, NOC skill type 4 positions may also be considered.
Show that the work placement or internship is essential for the completion of their academic program.
Hold citizenship (visa) from one of the 21 nations taking part in the IEC and have get to to the Worldwide Co-Op pool.
Possess a valid passport for the entire duration of their stay in Canada, as the work permit issued will not exceed the passport’s validity.
Be aged between 18 and 30 or 35 (inclusive) at the time of application, with the upper age limit varying based on the applicant’s country of citizenship, as detailed in the ‘Who can apply?’ section.
Have a minimum of CAD$2,500 available upon arrival to cover initial expenses.
Obtain wellbeing protections for the full term of their IEC, with members possibly required to show verification of these protections upon section into Canada. Data on suppliers and cites for wellbeing protections in Canada can be obtained.
Be admissible to Canada.
Prior to departure, possess a round-trip ticket or sufficient financial resources to purchase a return ticket at the end of their authorized stay in Canada.
Not travel with dependants.
Pay the necessary fees.
Citizens from certain countries must also be residents of their country of citizenship at the time of applying for the IEC work permit.
IEC Young Professionals: Eligibility Criteria:
The IEC Young Professionals program is intended for individuals seeking to advance their careers by acquiring professional work experience in Canada.
Candidates for the IEC Young Professionals program must secure a valid job offer in Canada before their arrival, and they are required to work for the same employer at the same location throughout their stay in the country.
This program provides several benefits when compared to the IEC Working Holiday Visa in Canada:
The demand for these permits typically does not surpass the available supply, resulting in a high likelihood of approval for eligible candidates.
In certain countries, individuals may participate in the IEC program a second time, provided it is within the Young Professionals or International Co-Op categories. This allows those who previously participated in the IEC Working Holiday program to extend their time in Canada.
To qualify for an IEC Young Professionals work permit, applicants must meet the following requirements:
Possess a signed letter confirming a job offer or an employment contract for a position that, according to IRCC, “contributes to your professional development.” This is characterized as a role within the National Occupational Classification (NOC) Training, Education, Experience, Responsibilities (TEER) categories 0, 1, 2, or 3. A TEER 4 position may be considered if the applicant provides a post-secondary diploma, certificate, or degree with their work permit application, establishing a direct connection to their area of study. This stipulation also applies to individuals seeking employment in the agricultural sector. Under the IEC Young Professionals category, it is essential for the candidate to demonstrate the existence of an employer-employee relationship.
The job offer must align with the applicant’s area of expertise.
Be a citizen (passport holder) of one of the countries participating in the IEC and maintain a profile in the Young Professionals pool.
Hold a valid passport for the entire duration of their stay in Canada (the work permit issued will not exceed the passport’s validity).
Be matured between 18 and 30 or 35 (comprehensive) at the time of application. The maximum age limit is determined by the applicant’s country of citizenship, as specified in the ‘Who can apply?’ section.
Have get to to at slightest CAD$2,500 upon entry to cover introductory expenses.
Be capable of obtaining health insurance for the full duration of their IEC permit (participants may be required to present proof of this insurance upon entry into Canada). For information on providers and quotes, please refer to our Health Insurance for Canada page.
Be admissible to Canada.
Prior to departure, possess a round-trip ticket or the financial means to purchase a return ticket at the conclusion of their authorized stay in Canada.
Not be accompanied by dependants.
Pay the requisite fees.
Individuals from specific nations must also be residents of their country of citizenship when submitting their application for an IEC work permit.
IEC Recognized Organizations: A pathway to relocating to or remaining in Canada:
The 2024 Universal Encounter Canada (IEC) season commenced on December 11, 2023. The initial invitation rounds occurred during the week of January 8, 2024. To choose your capability for the IEC program, it would be perfect if you take our complimentary Canadian Development Test.
Furthermore, individuals from countries that have a youth mobility agreement with Canada, who have previously participated in the IEC program, may qualify for another IEC work permit through a recognized organization, even if the youth mobility agreement from their home country suggests otherwise. However, this option generally incurs higher costs than the standard IEC pathway, ranging from several hundred dollars with certain recognized organizations (such as SWAP) to over $4,000 with others that offer more specialized services.
The majority of IEC participants enter under the Working Holiday category, which permits them to work for any employer in Canada and to change jobs during their stay. Other categories within the IEC include Young Professionals and International Co-op, both of which necessitate an eligible job offer prior to participation.
If you are considering extending your stay in Canada, it is essential to explore whether utilizing a recognized organization is the appropriate route.
If you have reached the maximum allowable participation under the specific youth mobility agreement (YMA) between your home country and Canada, you may still have the opportunity to obtain another IEC work permit through a recognized organization, potentially allowing for up to two additional lifetime participations if you remain eligible.
In rundown, it is doable to open up your domestic and commerce in Canada through a recognized organization without requiring you to look for a non-IEC development elective. This guidance was issued by Immigration, Citizenship and Refugees Canada (IRCC) on July 31, 2019.
Only two of the nine organizations recognized by the IEC, namely Stepwest and Go, can provide this opportunity for potential repeat participants. Furthermore, the cost of their respective packages starts at CAD $4,000. Consequently, one must have a strong desire to remain in Canada and possess few alternative options for this to be considered a viable choice.

RIF Trust’s Golden Visa Overview
Tumblr media
Mimoun A. Assraoui is our CEO. He explains the concept of golden visas: “Essentially, a golden visa is a Residency by Investment (RBI). Travel becomes easier with a golden visa, and other benefits include access to better education and healthcare.”
“Golden visas are typically available in Europe,” continues Assraoui. “But they’re also to be found elsewhere. On top of that, there are programmes that are golden visas in all but name. As you’ll discover below. ”
Golden Visa Countries
Canada
The Canadian Start-Up Visa Program is effectively a North American Golden Visa with a C$275,000 price tag. It allows you to settle with your family and enjoy free education and universal healthcare. As a Permanent Resident, you’re obligated to reside in Canada for at least 730 days (2 years) within the first 5 years of signing up.
By living in Canada for 3 out of those 5 years (1,095 days), you qualify for Canadian citizenship.
Our Canada Passport Ranking totals the amount of visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and eVisa countries you can visit. You can enter 117 countries without a visa, 37 by VOA, and 21 via eVisa.
2. Greece
Given its name, Greek Golden Visa, this Residency by Investment establishes Greece as one of the true golden visa countries. Invest by Saturday, 31 August 2024 and you’ll have to pay at least €250,000 rather than the new minimum of €400,000 on Sunday, 1 September 2024. Other areas in the country will see rises from €500,000 to €800,000.
As a resident, you’ll enjoy visa-free travel within the Schengen area. Yet, after living in Greece for no less than 7 years, you qualify for Greek citizenship and passport. Our Greece Passport Ranking reveals visa-free travel to 120 destinations, 31 by VOA, and 27 via eVisa.
3. Malta
While Malta is in Europe, its RBI is known as the Malta Permanent Residence Programme (MPRP). For a minimum investment of €150,000, you’ll experience the same ease of access to the Schengen zone as you do with the Greek Golden Visa. Yet there is no route to Maltese (and European) citizenship with the MPRP.
To become eligible for a Maltese passport, a better investment is Maltese Exceptional Investor Naturalization (MEIN). This requires an investment of at least €600,000. Our Malta Passport Ranking shows you can use this travel document to reach 118 countries without a visa, 32 via VOA, and 25 by eVisa.
4. Portugal
Another of the European golden visa countries is Portugal. The Portuguese Golden Visa requires a minimum physical residence of 7 days a year in the country. Portuguese Residency by Investment is most popularly available by
 investing at least €500,000 in a national venture capital fund.5 years later and you’ll be able to apply for Portuguese citizenship and passport. There is a language test to take. Our Portugal Passport Ranking outlines visa-free entry to 120 destinations, 31 by VOA, and 27 via eVisa.
5. Spain
Spain completes our round-up of European golden visa countries. But hurry while Residency by Investment in Spain is still an option as the Spanish Government have pledged to abolish the Spanish Golden Visa. It nonetheless remains available through a minimum €500,000 real estate investment.
Live in Spain for 10 years (2 if you’re from Latin America or the Philippines) and you’re eligible for a Spanish passport. We rate this passport the 2nd best travel document in the world. Our Spain Passport Ranking details visa-free arrival in 126 countries, 30 through visa on arrival, and 24 by eVisa.
6.United Arab Emirates
The UAE Golden Visa is the only officially titled golden visa outside Europe. As a UAE resident, you must visit at least twice a year. While, just like with Malta’s MPRP, citizenship is not an option you can benefit from visa-free entry to 18 countries with a resident’s card.
Investors steer clear of volatility. They want to establish a base on firmer ground.
7. United Kingdom
The UK Innovator Founder Visa is the closest Britain gets to offering a golden visa. This is distributed following a qualifying investment of a minimum £200,000. Spend 5 years as a Permanent Resident in the UK and you can then apply for a British passport.
Our United Kingdom Passport Ranking tallies visa-free, visa-on-arrival, and eVisa destinations. This adds up to a score of 177. That comprises visa-free travel to 118 countries, 37 with VOA, and 22 by eVisa.
8. United States
The US EB-5 Investor Visa is the American version of a golden visa. Invest at least $800,000 to qualify. There are few more emblematic residency documents than a Green Card and you’ll receive a provisional one after 27 months of residency.
3-6 months down the line, you’ll get your hands on a conditional Green Card. After 5 years of lawful permanent residency, you can convert this to a US citizenship. Our United States Passport Ranking places the American passport in 8th place in the world’s best passports.
Tumblr media
How to Get a Golden Visa in 2024
The concepts of golden visa and Residency by Investment are more or less interchangeable. To cut through the jargon and find the best programme for you, we suggest you consult an expert in the field such as RIF Trust. So, contact us now and we’ll show you which of the golden visa countries most suits your needs.

How to Get European PR from Dubai
Securing European Permanent Residency (PR) offers numerous benefits, including the freedom to live, work, and travel across the European Union (EU). For residents of Dubai considering this life-changing step, understanding the process and requirements is essential. This comprehensive guide aims to provide all the necessary information to navigate the path to European PR successfully.
Understanding How to Get European PR from Dubai
How to Get European PR from Dubai grants non-EU nationals the right to reside in a European country indefinitely. Unlike citizenship, PR does not grant the right to vote in national elections, but it does offer many of the same rights as citizens, such as access to social services and the ability to work without additional permits. The advantages of European PR include stability, enhanced travel freedom, and access to high-quality healthcare and education systems.
Eligibility Criteria
The eligibility criteria for European PR vary by country but generally include:
A valid long-term visa or residence permit
Proof of stable and sufficient income
Adequate housing
Health insurance
A clean criminal record
Specific requirements can differ, so it's essential to check the criteria for the country you're interested in.
Initial Steps to Take from Dubai
Research European Countries for PR: Start by researching which European countries offer PR programs and their specific requirements.
Consult with Immigration Experts: Seek advice from immigration consultants to understand the best pathways and options.
Set Realistic Goals and Timelines: Establish a clear plan with achievable milestones.
Choosing the Right Country
Popular European destinations for PR include Germany, Portugal, Spain, and Greece. When choosing a country, consider factors such as:
Quality of life
Economic opportunities
Language and cultural fit
PR program requirements and benefits
Documentation and Paperwork
Essential documents typically required include:
Valid passport
Proof of income or financial stability
Health insurance coverage
Housing documentation
Background checks
Country-specific requirements may include additional documents, so it's crucial to organize and submit everything correctly.
Application Process
Step-by-Step Application Procedure: Follow the official guidelines provided by the immigration authority of the chosen country.
Common Application Mistakes to Avoid: Ensure all forms are filled out correctly and all required documents are included.
Timeline and Waiting Period: Be prepared for the processing time, which can vary from a few months to over a year.
Costs Involved
The costs associated with obtaining European PR can include:
Application fees
Legal fees for immigration consultants
Travel expenses
Miscellaneous costs (translations, notarizations, etc.)
Proper financial planning is essential to cover these expenses.
Employment-Based PR Options
Dubai residents can explore job opportunities in Europe, focusing on in-demand industries such as IT, engineering, and healthcare. Transitioning from a work visa to PR often involves meeting specific employment criteria and residency duration.
Investment-Based PR Options
Investment programs, such as Portugal’s Golden Visa or Greece’s investment visa, allow individuals to obtain PR through financial investments in real estate, business, or government bonds. While these programs offer a faster route to PR, they also come with risks and substantial financial requirements.
Family Reunification

Comprehensive Guide to the Portugal Golden Visa 
Portugal isn't just about wine and music; it offers one of the best EU Golden Visa programs. Portugal attracts many with a high standard of living, excellent healthcare, and more. Their Golden Visa program grants residency to non-EU citizens who invest in the country. This Visa can lead to citizenship later. Remember, this isn't legal advice; use it to see if Portugal's program suits your needs. 
History of Portugal's Golden Visa 
Portugal faced economic challenges in the early 2000s. To recover, they launched the Golden Visa program on October 8, 2012, attracting foreign investors to boost their economy. Over 12,000 investors joined, investing over seven billion dollars. Most got their Portugal residence permit by buying real estate, which is the program's top choice. 
Recent Changes in the Visa 
In October 2023, new rules stopped the path to Portuguese citizenship through property investment. However, the Golden Visa program itself is still open. The government said the time it takes to apply (6–18 months) now counts towards the five years needed for citizenship. Real estate investment is no longer an option, leaving some investors unsure. However, good choices exist, like starting a company, donating to research, or investing in funds.  
Golden Entrepreneur Visa 
Entrepreneurs have an often-overlooked option with the Portugal Golden Investment Visa. To qualify, you need to start a company and create at least ten jobs in Portugal (or eight in less populated areas). Each employee must be registered with the Portuguese Social Security system. You have the opportunity to inject €500,000 into an established business in Portugal, generating and sustaining five new full-time positions for three years. Corporate tax is 21%, and personal income tax ranges from 14.5% to 48%.  
Benefits of Portugal Golden Visa Program 
Portugal's Tier A passport is among the best, granting visa-free access to 191 countries in 2024, making it the third most powerful passport as mentioned by the Nomad Passport Index. While investing in a residency permit won't automatically make you a citizen, it's a step towards it. The naturalization process in Portugal is relatively quick, just five years. You can enjoy visa-free travel within the Schengen Area and many other countries during this time. You also gain the right to work and live in Portugal and other EU/EEA nations. Portugal's investment visa is considered stable, and Portugal offers tax benefits for crypto investors.  
Capital Contributions with Portugal's Golden Visa 
For those not taking the entrepreneur route, simpler options like capital contributions are available. Due to recent changes, this route has become more appealing but is pricier. 
Investment options for Portugal's Golden Visa include: 
€500,000 in Venture Capital/Private Equity Fund 
€500,000 as a Donation to Research Activities 
€250,000 for Donations to Arts These investments must be maintained for five years of residence. 
Specific funds are set up for Portugal visa Golden investors, offering shorter terms and lower risks. However, due to FATCA regulations, not all funds are available to US applicants. All applicants must provide proof of investment to the government, so keep a detailed paper trail. 
Golden Visa: Requirements, Documents and Fees 
1. Fulfill the minimum residence requirement  
To maintain your residency in Portugal, you must spend at least fourteen days there during your first two years. Then, when you renew your permit for the next three years, you'll need to pay a total of 21 days in Portugal. After that, you only need to spend a minimum of seven days per year in the country to keep your residency. 
2. Provide proper documentation 
Applying for the Portugal Golden Investment Visa is more straightforward than applying for other citizenship programs. You can apply online through their Immigration and Borders Services portal or have a legal representative do it. However, it's essential to understand the process to avoid mistakes. You must submit personal documents, proof of investment, and other paperwork like a background check, health insurance, and evidence of tax compliance. All documents must be recent. 
3. Be a third-country national 
This requirement means you can't already be a citizen of Portugal or any EU or EEA country. While over half of the applicants are from China, others from countries like Russia, Turkey, South Africa, Brazil, and more are also applying.  
4. Maintain a qualified investment for five years 
As the principal applicant, you must keep the investment if you and your family have a Portugal visa and Golden residency status. Once you attain permanent residency or Portuguese citizenship, you are no longer required to maintain the investment. 
5. Pay all related fees 
The Portuguese government offers a Tier A passport for wealthy investors seeking EU access. Alongside your investment, applicants pay a €5,000 ($5,364) fee, which is reduced by half upon renewal. A processing fee of €533 (US$571) for the principal applicant and €83 (US$89) for each family member, payable with the initial application and renewals. Spouses, children under 18, unmarried children over 18 in school, and retirement-aged parents are eligible. 
Portugal's Golden Investment Visa presents a compelling opportunity for investors seeking residency and potential citizenship in Europe. With various investment options, streamlined application processes, and the allure of visa-free travel, it remains an attractive pathway for individuals and families looking to establish roots in Portugal and the broader European Union.
