Spanish government measures create opportunities in Portugal’s real estate sector
In January 2025, Spain announced a controversial measure that could directly impact the international real estate sector: the prohibition of the purchase of real estate by non-European foreigners, accompanied by a 100% tax on purchases made by citizens outside the European Union. The Spanish government's aim is to try to combat the growing real estate crisis in the country. However, the consequences of this decision could be positive for international investors, especially those looking for more flexible alternatives, such as Portugal.
Portugal: the ideal destination for investors
With the restrictions imposed in Spain, many foreign investors, especially from Brazil, must seek new investment options. Portugal, which already stands out as an attractive destination for foreigners, now has a unique opportunity to further expand its investor base.
The flexibility in Portuguese real estate policies, combined with a more welcoming environment for foreigners, could make the country an even stronger hub for the real estate market, especially for those now seeking alternatives to restrictive Spanish policy.
Real estate opportunities in Portugal
While Spain faces challenges related to the real estate crisis, with actions such as increasing taxes on tourism and accelerating the construction of social housing, Portugal remains a more accessible and dynamic market.
The country offers investors favorable conditions, with a policy that encourages construction and property appreciation. For those seeking to invest in a promising market, without the limitations imposed by Spain, Portugal appears to be a more viable and attractive alternative.
How to Invest in Portugal and Take Advantage of Opportunities
If you are a foreign investor, especially from Brazil, this is the perfect time to explore real estate opportunities in Portugal.
The country has not only proven to be a solid choice for investment, but also offers a simplified naturalization process for foreign citizens, allowing access to the European Union after a period of residence.
