In recent years, Portugal has been growing in popularity as a destination for investment and secondary residency among high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) worldwide. The country offers a blend of high quality of life, luxury, and investment opportunities. Boasting a year-round temperate climate and investor-friendly policies, its popularity among global HNWIs is expected to increase over the coming years as more of this population seeks global citizenship and mobility. Offering security, elegance, beauty, and opportunity, Portugal is a destination not to be missed, whether you seek residency or a promising property investment.
Tax-friendly policies for global HNWIs
The country’s non-habitual residency (NHR) program has played a pivotal role in attracting affluent buyers from around the world. This regime allows qualifying residents to benefit from substantial tax reductions, such as exemptions on certain foreign income and a flat 20 per cent tax rate for some professions. Combined with an overall transparent and stable fiscal landscape, this regime and other competitive tax incentives like it continue to attract wealthy individuals and families
