Why has Portugal been the preferred destination?
- In 2017, only 2,888 Americans resided in Portugal. By 2024, that number has jumped to over 20,000, with 4,800 new residents in the last year alone.
- The search for stability, quality of life and legal security has driven this trend. Portugal is consolidating itself as a safe haven for those who want to live well and have easy access to the European Union.
Golden visas and remote work boost migration
- In 2023, US citizens led the way in Golden Visa grants with 567 approvals.
- They were also the main beneficiaries of the digital nomad visa, reinforcing the profile of an audience looking for flexibility, mobility and long-term opportunities.
