The JS Privé difference

A personal service, not a passport shop.

JS Privé is the personal brand of Jason Swan — one expert, not a call centre. Jason works independently with a select number of high-net-worth individuals and families, guiding them through the Portugal Golden Visa from first conversation to approval, and giving them access to specialist legal, tax and investment support through an established network of regulated partners.

Why Portugal

Europe's most respected residency-by-investment route.

01

EU residency from seven days a year

Maintain your residence permit with an average of just seven days per year in Portugal — no requirement to relocate or disrupt your life elsewhere.

02

Permanent residency from five years

Qualify for permanent residency after five years, with a pathway to full Portuguese — and therefore EU — citizenship after seven to ten years.

03

The IFICI tax regime

Access to Portugal's incentivised tax framework for qualifying new residents — structured correctly through the right regulated tax specialists.

04

Investment from €250,000

A qualifying donation from €250,000, or regulated investment funds from €500,000 — with direct access to Portugal's leading fund managers, and all key facts and supporting information provided by Jason.

05

Your whole family, one application

Spouse, dependent children and dependent parents included together, with full visa-free movement across the Schengen Area.

03

Application & approval

Jason coordinates your application through to residency approval, working alongside an established network of regulated legal, banking and fund partners who carry out the in-country work.

In their words
Five stars, from the families Jason has guided personally.

“Jason has been our contact for our Portuguese Golden Visa from day one and he has been just terrific. This has been a big, complex decision for us, and he made the process go very smoothly. Every question was answered to our satisfaction — a very transparent and trustworthy process. An added benefit was his patience as we worked through some family decisions. We highly recommend Jason to anyone considering an investment in Portugal.”

Michael Pilnick
Portugal Golden Visa

“My husband and I were very sceptical about using an adviser unknown to us, but after many phone and video calls I can honestly say we are absolutely pleased with the professionalism, care and knowledge of Jason Swan. We were updated regularly, and I'd recommend him without hesitation.”

Lorna
Portugal Golden Visa

“Jason has been tremendous to work with on the Portugal Golden Visa process. His initial webinar was very informative, and on a personal level he has been a pleasure to work with. He understands our needs and concerns, and has provided us with good contacts to move forward.”

The Schultz Family
Portugal Golden Visa

“We came to know about Jason through his detailed webinar and were very impressed with how organised and clear the information was. We had around three meetings before deciding to proceed. Throughout, he was helpful, polite and answered every question in a detailed, professional manner. The experience has been very smooth.”
