I pulled out of Portugal a year ago after over a year settling there. Whilst there are some very cheap areas still, they are cheap for good reasons - usually fire risk. The price of decent properties has kept on rising steeply and is now not significantly cheaper than the UK, where I'm from. And Portuguese property owners have dollar signs in their eyes now, thinking it will keep doubling every 2-3 years as it has in the past. I could smell a bubble. The cost of living is relatively cheap (compared to UK) if you like bars, restaurants and entertainment, but for the basics (supermarkets and retail stores) Portugal is no cheaper at all - perhaps even more costly than the UK. And when you factor in the bureaucracy, which is insane like a 3rd world country, and the language factor... all in all, it quickly lost its appeal and I'm glad I got out when I did. Sorry, Portugal! When you were cheap, you were popular... but it was always going to end if you thought you could keep raising property prices through the roof and foreigners would keep buying them.
@colinl5985 5 місяців тому
Common sense sensible summary. Would you consider Portugal still as a place to live if housing were affordable in your eyes? I was there for two months recently, myself being from UK, I find although prices are not as cheap but for the location, lifestyle n weather mix in with the culture I'll choose Lisbon or Porto over London at this stage for example. Ask me another year or two in not sure but I'm looking at it as a life style choice after we sadly left Europe.

Moved from the US to Portugal a year and a half ago and still here. Yes, the institutions here are a big problem. But I believe what most are failing to see is that, for the people who moved here over the past few years and then quickly fled, they came in with this mindset that they were entering the promise land. They had some internal dialogue like, "Portugal is a Western European country so it's just like the US, but at the same time we don't have to deal with the polarizing politics or inflation, and at the same time we can buy a cheap beach house and eat fresh fish all day". Not so fast. Every country you move to has it's own set of problems. You just have to choose which problems you're willing to deal with. YES, some countries have worse problems than others, but you have to choose. Again, the failure of the government to work efficiently as it promised is inexcusable. When it comes to real estate, prices are already on there way down. But bottom line: Pick your poison.

The USA is literally a patchwork of all the cultures that incorporated in its midst throughout its History.

While in Portugal we usually welcome foreigners, the rising cost of real estate to bonkers levels and the fact that up until recently foreigners paid a lot less taxes than the portuguese population makes us feel like we got the wrong side of the bargain ... the gains a few (rich) portuguese get from tourism is offset by most of the population not being able to afford housing in the main cities anymore, so, while we are not asking foreigners to leave, if they do so they are contributing to a better life for most of the portuguese population.

Going for the people, lifestyle, culture, beauty, food, weather, social values-not the NHR. And if you want slow-paced life it cuts both ways-you have to deal with slow bureaucracy. Big deal-I’ll take that over the violence, guns, ugly suburbs, car-dependency, shitty rail, privatized “public” space, religious fanatics, dysfunctional two-party politics, crappy healthcare system, hustle culture of the U.S. any day.

The same will happen to anyone who has a residence visa valid on December 31. In that case, may apply for registration until March 31, 2024As for citizens who are already registered as non-habitual residents in the tax authority's taxpayer register, the law currently in force will continue to apply until the ten-year period to which the benefit is entitled is exhausted. The regime for non-habitual residents, remember applies to foreign pensioners, that they can currently benefit from, for a decade, an IRS rate of 10%, but also to people with professions with high added value, what, fulfilling certain requirements, they are also entitled to a 20% rate over a period of 10 consecutive years. This rate will remain the new tax incentive for scientific research and innovation, that taxpayers who have not been tax residents in Portugal in the previous five years and who have income classified as "careers of higher education and scientific research teachers can benefit, including scientific employment in entities, structures and networks dedicated to production, dissemination and transmission of knowledge, integrated into the national science and technology system ""

Good tip for many people. Don't follow the herd. I am afraid that most people are not listening and it's a romantic idea to move to a country in Europe if you are from the US. Every move is a time consuming thing and asks some sacrifices. How many of those Americans that left learned the language before they left. How much did they mangle into the society or stayed only with their expect friends. We moved a bit over two years to Portugal from Amsterdam so we had the European view on things. Smaller and down to earth is what we are used to. I've been to the US a dozen times and there is a huge difference in the way of thinking and treating things or people in the way you do. I noticed most of the Americans I hear complaining about that the things are different here in Portugal are looking for a way to bale out. The other American friends we have adjusted to the system and stop comparing that much. It is a new life with new energy, new friends, new food, new sounds (language and music) and that is surely not for everybody. For me it it's always strange to hear that people blame the country after their experience. It is not the country that asked you to come over but you've got the opportunity to try. It is funny to see that the most people coming in are richer people who can easily afford a more expensive house. There are seldom people from the northern part of Africa coming here as Portugal is seen as poorer European country and they prefer to travel further to the northern part where every works the clock round, no sunlight, stress and poorer social life.

Sure, here's a rewritten version of the UKposts response: I've been residing in Central Portugal since 2020. While it's undoubtedly distinct from Lisbon or Porto, it's worth noting that many foreigners initially flocked to Portugal when it was the "in" place and settled in the larger cities. Now, a considerable number of them are choosing to depart. From my interactions with those leaving, a common thread seems to be that they've spent their entire lives in their hometowns in the US, and moving to such a foreign environment didn't feel comfortable for them. They miss the familiarity and conveniences of home. This appears to be the primary reason for their departures, and notably, they aren't relocating to another foreign country; they're simply returning to the US. In my town, there haven't been as many foreigners compared to Lisbon or Porto. While rents have seen an increase, it hasn't been as drastic as in the larger cities. Regarding taxes, it's crucial to consider the nature of your income, whether it's passive income, dividends, capital gains, or regular income. It's worth noting that the US is one of the few countries that tax based on nationality rather than residency. I would strongly advise consulting a tax professional well-versed in various tax jurisdictions for personalized guidance. Ultimately, the decision on where to live should align with your comfort and preferences. I agree wholeheartedly: don't simply follow the crowd; follow your heart and mind.
