Why are Americans moving from the US to Portugal?
Portugal has become a popular destination for Americans seeking a better quality of life. Known as the “California of Europe“, the country attracts expats with its mild climate, safety and vibrant culture.
Interest has surged following major political events in the US, with Americans from states such as Colorado, Oregon and Washington particularly attracted to Portugal's laid-back lifestyle.
Portugal as a preferred destination
In the first half of this year, Portugal received more than 1 million American tourists, a increase of 15% compared to 2023.
In addition to tourism, more than 14,000 Americans now reside in Portugal, attracted by its welcoming environment, reliable infrastructure and investment opportunities.
Increased US interest could also boost the Portuguese real estate sector: regions such as the Algarve, Madeira and areas surrounding Lisbon are particularly popular.
The benefits of Portuguese citizenship
Obtaining Portuguese citizenship offers significant advantages, including visa-free access to over 190 countries, the right to live and work in the European Union, and enhanced global mobility.
