Portugal

Portugal has rapidly become one of Europe's most popular expat destinations, offering a warm climate, affordable cost of living (by Western European standards), rich culture, and a welcoming attitude toward foreigners. Lisbon and Porto are vibrant cities with growing tech and startup scenes, while the Algarve is popular with retirees. Portugal's D7 Passive Income visa, Digital Nomad visa, and Golden Visa program have attracted thousands of remote workers, retirees, and investors. The country has a public healthcare system (SNS) available to residents and offers the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) tax regime with potential tax benefits for new residents.
