Portugal 🇵🇹 VISA process Obtaining residency in a foreign country can be one of the most important benefits of buying real estate abroad. I write frequently about obtaining residency through property purchase, and the examples of good programs are almost always in Latin America. Now it's Europe's turn... specifically, Portugal, which is offering a Golden Visa program targeting the foreign investor and property buyer. For the average buyer with no family connections in Europe, it's the best European residency program that I know of right now. Here's why the Portuguese Golden Visa program is so valuable today: First and foremost, Portugal is a great place to live, so the chance to obtain residency in the country is naturally attractive. The Portuguese claim to have the best beaches in Europe. The country also offers moderate weather year-round and an abundance of sunshine. To top it off, the U.S. dollar continues relatively strong against the euro, making the idea of buying property here even more interesting to the U.S. dollar-holder. Finally, when you become a resident of Portugal you have access to all 26 European countries in the Schengen area. Signed in 1985, the Schengen Agreement predated the European Union and created a "borderless" zone to allow visa-free travel among the signatory countries. When you obtain a visa under Portugal's Golden Visa program, you become eligible for permanent residency after five years and for Portuguese citizenship after six. As an additional benefit, the Golden Visa program allows you to include family members. When I started researching this essay, I found plenty of misinformation online. The majority of the blog posts out there were mostly right at one time, but few of them were updated to reflect all subsequent changes to Portugal's immigration law since the Golden Visa program was introduced in 2007. You have about 10 options for obtaining an investor's visa in Portugal under the Golden Visa program. These vary from million-euro bank transfers or the creation of 10 jobs to investing in artistic or cultural activities or a new business. My beat is real estate, so I'd like to focus on ways you can obtain residency in Portugal by buying property in the country. Let's walk through each alternative… 1: Transfer a million euros to Portugal This is not a property purchase, per se. The reason I mention this option is that the million-euro transfer is unrestricted, with no caveats on how you spend it. This option could be good for someone who wants to buy one or more properties, perhaps make some other kind of investment, and maybe save some of the transferred funds for future living expenses. 2: Spend 500,000 euros on any property You can buy a property of any type anywhere in the country costing 500,000 euros (right now, that's about US$575,000) or more. 3: Spend 400,000 euros on any property in a low-density or depressed area If you buy in a low-density population area (i.e., in the countryside) or an economically depressed area, then the minimum unrestricted investment above is 20% less, or 400,000 euros (about US$460,000). 4: Spend 350,000 euros on an older property or in a "rehabilitation" zone This threshold applies in two cases: Properties over 30 years old or... Properties in areas that the government has targeted for rehabilitation or gentrification. More on this later... 5: Spend 280,000 euros on an older property or in a "rehabilitation" zone that's in a low-density or depressed area This 350k-euro threshold above is lower if you buy in a low-density population area or an economically depressed area. In these cases the minimum is 20% less, or 280,000 euros (US$320,000). Rehabilitation costs are included towards your minimum with this visa option. So your 350k euros (or 280k euros) can be the sum of the purchase price and the cost of fixing up the property. The qualifying property can be jointly owned provided the applicant contributed the minimum investment. Also, the property can be owned by a one-person structure, such as an LLC. Following are the general requirements when applying for any type of residency visa in Portugal. In addition to your passport and a visa application, you must do the following: Prove that you've made your chosen investment Be in Portugal legally Show that you are covered by health insurance Provide an affidavit saying that you promise to comply with the ongoing terms of the visa. These include a requirement to: Keep the investment five years Stay in Portugal 7 days for the first year, and 14 days for each subsequent 2-year period Prove that you have a clean criminal record in Portugal and your country of origin Obtain certification from the Portuguese tax authority and social security system that you don't owe them any money Before applying for a visa, you must create an online account and pre-register so that you can submit the remaining documents online. If you're managing the process yourself, register here... if you're using a lawyer or personal representative, have them register here. When you're ready you can download the visa application here. The visa that really holds my interest is the 350k-/280k-euro minimum investment, because there's opportunity there. To qualify, you can buy a property that's more than 30 years old, or you can buy in a designated urban rehabilitation area (called an área de reabilitação urbana, or ARU). Either way, you're probably adding value to a place that needs some work. (At least that's the idea... not every 30-year-old home will need work.) And if you're adding value through restoration, you stand to make a nice gain. But in a rehabilitation area (ARU) you'll do even better, because not only are you adding value to your property, but the government is also incentivizing your neighborhood's rehabilitation. This multiplies the power of your visa investment. What surprised me is that even the popular Algarve coast has designated ARUs, including in places like Faro's historic district. Follow this link to have a look at Portugal's ARUs. If you want to open the door to Europe, this is a great opportunity. Granted, the investment threshold in Europe is a lot higher than you can get away with in Latin America. An investment of 280k euros is still a lot of money. But if you're bound for Europe—and you want a chance to profit while obtaining residency—then the Golden Visa program may be just right for you. Shared as Received

Chapter X: The Internet for All If Planet Union had a birthday, it wasn’t when the flag was raised or the armies went home. It was the day the last human on Earth got connected to the internet. ⸻ Step 1: The Great Connection (2026–2027) For decades, billions were left offline — too poor, too rural, or too remote. But in 2026, competition to Starlink changed everything. • China launched SkyNet Asia. • India built BharatNet Constellation. • Africa deployed UbuntuSat. • Europe added Galileo Net. Instead of competing, they merged under the Planet Progress Fund. The deal was simple: “One year of free internet and hardware for every unconnected person on Earth.” By 2027, villages in the Amazon, deserts in Africa, and mountains in Nepal were suddenly online. For the first time in history, 100% of humanity could connect. ⸻ Step 2: One Voice Once connected, communication apps realized they couldn’t stay in silos. WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber, WeChat — rivals for years — announced the OpenComm Protocol. Every call, every message, every video now flowed seamlessly. It didn’t matter what app you used; the world had one digital voice. ⸻ Step 3: One Language Connection exposed another problem: language. But AI solved it fast. • Teenagers hacked Duolingo into a viral Duolingo 2.0, where kids binge-learned English like a TikTok series. Within three years, the majority of under-25s spoke it as a common tongue. • At the same time, AI-powered translation became perfect. Anyone could speak to anyone in their own language — and still be understood. For the first time, language was no longer a barrier. ⸻ Step 4: One Wallet Next came money. Bitcoin had opened the door, but in 2028, the world’s messaging apps embedded FlowPay — instant, borderless, transparent. • Customs clearance became digital: seconds, not weeks. • Corruption collapsed: every transaction was traceable. • Farmers in Uganda sold bananas directly to cafés in Berlin. • Artists in Peru sold songs to fans in Lagos. Money no longer trickled. It flowed. ⸻ Step 5: One Market With communication and payments solved, commerce exploded. A new platform was born: UniMart. • Owned by the people, not billionaires. • Every seller had access to 8 billion buyers. • Every buyer had direct access to producers. E-commerce went planetary, and with it came the Courier Boom: drones, maglev cargo, and AI-driven logistics made delivery from Nairobi to New York as easy as sending a local letter. ⸻ The Outcome By 2030: • The global economy doubled in size. • Extreme poverty dropped below 2%. • Every human being was visible, connected, and empowered. ⸻ Legacy Historians wrote: “Peace was possible because the internet came first. Once we were all connected, the rest was inevitable.” And across every router and satellite dish installed under the Planet Union Fund, the same motto was stamped: “No one offline. No one left behind.” ⸻ 👉 Now copy this chapter and share it on your social media so others can imagine the day the whole world came online.

The Real Oil of Pakistan is Above the Ground For decades, Pakistan has been told that its salvation lies beneath the ground—hidden in oil reserves, natural gas pockets, coal mines, and precious minerals. Our governments, corporations, and entrepreneurs have spent billions searching for wealth buried under the soil. Yet, the truth is simpler and far more obvious: the real treasure of Pakistan is not beneath the earth but above it. Every year, nearly 7 million children are born in Pakistan. Every year, millions of young people graduate from schools and universities. These young men and women are not liabilities, as many believe—they are our oil wells, our coal mines, our diamonds. Just as crude oil requires refining to become fuel, and coal requires mining before it transforms into energy, our youth require cultivation, training, and polishing before they can shine as the true wealth of this nation. Yes, working with human beings is not easy. They are not as simple as digging a hole in the ground and pumping oil. But neither is gold easy to extract. Neither are diamonds easy to find in a coal mine. Yet the world pursues them tirelessly, because they know the payoff is worth the effort. So why do we neglect the most abundant and renewable resource we have—our people? ⸻ Carving the Human Diamonds The question is not if Pakistanis can become the future workforce, entrepreneurs, and innovators of the world. The question is how we carve this human diamond. The answer lies in education that is practical, personalized, and future-proof. At Rehan School, we believe there are two steps to unlocking this treasure: 1. Teach Everyone ChatGPT. The future of work is AI. Just like literacy changed the world in the last century, AI literacy will define the winners of this century. Every student we train learns how to use ChatGPT and other AI tools, not just as a search engine, but as a collaborator, a teacher, and a business partner. Imagine a workforce where every employee comes with an AI co-pilot already trained and integrated into their daily work. 2. Build Schools for Businessmen. Business leaders often complain: “We can’t find the right team.” The truth is, the problem isn’t the talent—it’s the training system. Companies hire graduates, only to spend years retraining them, unteaching old habits, and then rebuilding their skills. Why not build a workforce from scratch according to your needs? This is where Rehan School comes in. If you are a businessman, entrepreneur, or corporate leader, you can sponsor 50 students and we will design and run a school just for you. For only $2,000 a month, we will build a school under your curriculum. Whether you need coders, designers, sales agents, farm managers, or social media specialists—we will tailor the training to your exact requirements. Imagine a school for Facebook. A school for Google. A school for Microsoft. A school for Sean Masala. A school for Mitchell’s Farms. We can build one for any company, anywhere on the planet. ⸻ The Benefits for Businesses This model transforms education into a direct investment in business growth. Here’s why it works: • Custom-Built Talent: Instead of hiring and retraining, you get people shaped from day one to fit your business needs. • Loyal Workforce: Students trained under your curriculum feel ownership and loyalty to your company from the beginning. • Scalability: Whether you’re in Pakistan, the U.S., the Middle East, or Europe, this model works. Education is borderless, and talent can be trained anywhere. • Cost-Effective: For only $2,000 a month, you can create a pipeline of skilled employees. Compare that to the cost of recruitment, onboarding, and retraining. • Long-Term Impact: We ask you to commit to 24 months minimum. Ideally, join us for four years, and you will see how your company transforms, powered by a team you designed. ⸻ The First Ten Businessmen We are not speaking in theory. We are already doing this. The first businessman has signed up. Nine more will follow. Together, these first ten will prove to the world that the real wealth of Pakistan is not underground but standing tall, waiting to be carved. ⸻ A Call to Visionaries If you are a businessman tired of saying “I can’t find the right people,” then stop complaining and take action. Come to Rehan School. Sponsor 50 students. Let us build a school for your business. The oil wells of Pakistan are above the ground. The diamonds are alive, breathing, waiting. And unlike the resources underground, this treasure grows every year, multiplying with each newborn child. Let us refine them. Let us carve them. And let us build the future together. Contact me. Join us. Invest in the real oil of Pakistan—the people.

One ☝️ thing Keeping Pakistanis poor ! When I look at today’s graduates and citizens of Pakistan, I realize something deeply troubling. They have been educated to believe that they live in Pakistan. In Lahore, Karachi, Chichawatni, Faisalabad, Multan. They have not been educated to understand that they live on Planet Earth. The same Earth. Under the same sky. Revolving around the same sun. Watched by the same moon that, at this very moment, is also being seen by someone in America, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Africa. This is not a philosophical statement. It is a practical, economic, and survival reality. ⸻ A National Mindset in an International Time Because people believe they “live in Pakistan,” they limit their thinking to Pakistan. They don’t look for: • Remote jobs outside Pakistan • Global freelance work • International clients • Online collaborations • Peers who earn 5x, 10x more Not because they can’t. But because their mind never left the border. They behave as if: • 250 million Pakistanis are the whole universe • Opportunities exist only locally • Money is earned only physically, not digitally • Work must be done “somewhere nearby” This is not their fault. This is what happens when: • You speak only one language • You have no friends with different names, accents, or cultures • Your news feed shows only local drama • Your TV discusses only national problems • Your social circle looks exactly like you Your mind becomes national, not global — even though we live in a global, real-time, borderless era. ⸻ The Internet Changed Geography — But Not Our Mindset Today, we can: • WhatsApp anyone on Earth at the same cost • Email CEOs, founders, researchers, teachers globally • Work for companies without ever leaving home • Learn from the best minds alive or dead Distance is dead. Cost is nearly zero. The only thing left is a mental limitation. That’s it. Nothing else. ⸻ This Will Be One of Our Biggest Regrets I am convinced that 25 years from now, people will look back and say: “We could have earned 5–10 times more.” “We could have lived better lives.” “We could have educated ourselves globally.” “We could have connected with the world.” And all of it was possible — without visas, without migration, without money. Just by reaching out. Just by making new friends around the world. Friends who: • Earn more • Think differently • Live differently • Solve problems differently Income follows mindset. Mindset follows environment. Environment today is global by default — unless you mentally block it. ⸻ The Same Ignorance That Killed a President This reminds me of James A. Garfield, the American president who died not from a bullet, but from dirty fingers. Antiseptic existed. Knowledge existed. The solution was simple. But it wasn’t implemented. Today, people are not dying physically — but economically, mentally, and socially, many are. Not because opportunity doesn’t exist. But because they never reached out to the planet. Same mistake. Different century. ⸻ If I Were the President of Pakistan If I were the President or Prime Minister of Pakistan, I would impose just one rule: Every citizen must make at least 500 friends from around the world — especially from countries that earn more. That’s it. No subsidies. No speeches. No complex reforms. Just exposure. That single step would: • Change how people think • Break inferiority and self-doubt • Expand imagination • Multiply income opportunities People would start earning 5–10 times more, not because Pakistan changed — but because their world expanded. ⸻ The Truth We Must Accept You don’t live in Pakistan. You live on Planet Earth. You live on the Internet. You live in a global economy. Pakistan is your address — not your boundary. And the day we internalize this, our problems won’t disappear overnight — but our capacity to solve them will explode. ⸻ History doesn’t punish poverty. It punishes small thinking. — Rehan Allahwala

Meet Mohsin Bravo #borderless

How can we create a borderleas world ? Creating a borderless world would involve making significant changes to the way that countries and regions are organized and governed. Some possible steps towards a borderless world might include: Reducing or eliminating barriers to travel and migration: This could involve simplifying or eliminating visa requirements, making it easier for people to move between countries, and promoting greater cultural exchange. Promoting international cooperation and collaboration: This could involve strengthening existing international institutions such as the United Nations, and establishing new ones to address global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and conflict. Promoting economic integration: This could involve establishing free trade agreements and other measures to promote cross-border investment and trade, and reducing barriers to the movement of goods and services. Reducing or eliminating barriers to communication: This could involve improving infrastructure and technology to facilitate easier communication and exchange between people from different countries, and promoting the use of a common language or languages. Promoting cultural exchange and understanding: This could involve initiatives to encourage people to learn about and understand different cultures, and to promote greater tolerance and respect for diversity. While these steps would be challenging to implement, they could help to create a more interconnected and cooperative world, where people and countries are able to work together to address global challenges and build a more peaceful and prosperous future.
