One of the most appealing aspects is the minimal stay requirement to maintain your residency. Applicants are not required to live in Portugal full-time. You only need to stay in the country for a short period of 14 consecutive or non-consecutive days within every two-year period.
The program robustly grants privileges for your investor's family members through its comprehensive family reunification policy. This means your spouse, all dependent children, and even dependent parents can be included, allowing your entire family to live and work in Portugal and travel freely across Europe.
Should you and your family decide to make Portugal your primary residence, you gain the crucial ability to apply for access to excellent free public services. This includes high-quality public healthcare and a robust public education system, ensuring comprehensive support for your family's well-being.
Benefit from Portugal's highly advantageous tax scheme. For non-tax residents, your global income is generally not taxable (only income derived directly in Portugal). For those who choose to become tax residents, there's a very beneficial Non-Habitual Residency (NHR 2.0) tax regime that can exempt much of your income for up to 10 years.
