@gavin3 That’s great news, thank you for sharing! Along the same lines, I don’t know whether you’ve read through the thread about PFIC, QEF, and Form 8621: > [@Investment fund vs. real estate for Portugal golden visa; PFIC for US citizens](https://community.nomadgate.com/t/investment-fund-vs-real-estate-for-portugal-golden-visa-pfic-for-us-citizens/28278): > > Hi folks, I had been leaning toward the investment fund option for pursuing a Portuguese Golden Visa. Yesterday, in another thread, I learned about PFICs and the obscenely punitive taxation and tax compliance burden they impose on US citizens.

It’s different than FATCA and FBAR and all of that. Regrets for the gratuitous complexity and redundancy of these tax compliance requirements!
