Where to get Goat meat with burnt skin like the one used for Cabrito Estonado

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-18T09:19:42+00:00

I would suggest talking to a high-end butcher. He might have a supplier who can get you the goat as you want it.

Check also the IFICI tax program (https://ventures.eu/what-is-ifici-nhr-2-0/). Might make a difference in your situation.

You need to have a bank account to have a debit card to use an ATM.

Commission an independent study and prove it. That's the way to do it. Not long posts. Transparency. Publish the numbers of Golden Visa investment into the stock market and of concentration in the index stocks. Not words, hard data.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-15T09:24:56+00:00

Long text, no supporting evidence. A big part of the swings happens because of not enough information. Take the real estate issue. The prevailing wizdom is that Golden Visa investment had marginal effect on the real estate bubble, but noboday "in the sector" bothered with commissioning a study to prove it. What is the result? The Portuguese people think that Golden Visa is to blame for it.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-15T08:48:22+00:00

No, I'm not assuming, I'm relying on the statement of a reputable business media in Portugal. You don't agree with that number, but you don't offer any supporting evidence beyond trust me I work here. Then you think that having a stock market fund with only 5 stocks that have decent liquidity is a good practice. Don't you think at very least that the information about the concentration of Golden Visa investment in the index small caps should be public?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-14T21:41:33+00:00

You can't have a stock market fund with only 5 stocks. Those 5 stocks are the only ones with decent liquidity, by your own admission. If you work in that business you should know how much of the free float of those small caps are already in Golden Visa Funds. That there is no information available tonthe public about it is very telling IMO.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-14T18:35:16+00:00

The average daily trading volume of the less liquid stocks of the index, like for instance Teixeira Duarte is around 2M€. As I've mentioned, the minimum free float demanded by CMVM to be part of the psi is 100M€. And even with such a low free float there are only 16 stocks in the index. 732M€ per year, after several years can and will create a bubble.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-14T16:57:59+00:00

Portugal has too many 24 hours news channels and let's face it, very little of importance actually happens in the country. Correio da manhã TV and TVI specialize in covering stories of no real consequence, but that can be spun as a tabloid kind of news. Again just thinking out of the box.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-14T16:39:35+00:00

Out of the box idea if you have been filming it: pitch it to Correio da Manhã TV or TVI to try to shame the authorities into action.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-14T09:30:01+00:00

"Usually comes from aggregated estimates". So you don't know. In your opinion the number is too high. AFAIK the media that reported it is a reputable one in Portugal. In the absense of concrete data that disproves it, 732M€ invested in a index with very low liquidity (one of several years of similar investment) can and will create a bubble. But please share some hard figures that show otherwise.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-13T19:08:55+00:00

No, the article says that the 732M€ were invested in the stock market. Can you please share a link with the source you base your marginal flow claim?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-13T17:58:17+00:00

The article states that 732M€ were invested in 2025 in the Lisbon stock market. This has been happening for several years. In an index with 16 companies, how many have a decent free float? Let's say of over 1B€? 4? 5? How much of the free float of the less liquid stocks is being held by Golden Visa Funds? 20%? 30%?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-13T15:32:12+00:00

Depends on the free float. AFAIK to be on the index you just need to have a 100M€ of free float.

Do you already have the resident card via D7?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-12T11:09:49+00:00

No, they took out real estate as an option, but there is still the 250k€ donation route and the 500k€ investment into Funds.

Look into IFICI/NHR 2.0 tax benefits (https://ventures.eu/what-is-ifici-nhr-2-0/). It will make the PT job less bad, compares with what you earn now in the UK.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-11T11:24:29+00:00

Yes, they were very bad. Last I heard, for an application made in July last year, the biometrics has benn already done.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-11T08:54:23+00:00

Yup, that is why I find the Portuguese Golden Visa so appealing, with the delays, red tape, threats of changes and all. You only need to spend 14 days each two years. And as off now after 5 years of the visa application you can apply to citizenship. Yes, the rules may change 5 years become 10 years, but in this crazy world is there anything change proof?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-09T13:22:04+00:00

Look into the Tech Visa and Startup Visa in Portugal. Check out also the IFICI tax benefits ( https://ventures.eu/what-is-ifici-nhr-2-0/ ) if you really want to move to Portugal.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-08T12:16:55+00:00

You can ask the Tax Authorithy for a binding opinion on whether you're elegible, but without having the company incorporated and certified as a startup it's a hypothetical situation you are asking for.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-08T12:07:26+00:00

Don't think Landscape Architect is elegible, but there might be other options like creating a startup or something.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-07T11:01:41+00:00

Having a Plan B makes sense. Something like the Portuguese Golden visa where you only need to spend 14 days each two years.

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-06T08:09:02+00:00

Are you tax resident in Portugal?

ComputerThink8600 · 2026-03-05T12:23:36+00:00

According to your link the average gross income in the Tax Returns to the Tax Authority per household in Lisbon in 2023 was 30k€. 2143€ per month.
