Portugal among the 7 best countries for a peaceful retirement
If you dream of spending your retirement in Europe, Portugal stands out as one of the best options for living with quality of life, security and tax benefits. According to Forbes, the country is among the 7 easiest destinations for retirees, thanks to its affordable residency policy, attractive cost of living and the possibility of obtaining Portuguese citizenship after five years.
Why is Portugal the ideal destination for retirees?
Residence made easy – The D7 Visa, intended for retirees and people with passive income, requires an affordable amount of financial proof and can lead to European citizenship after five years.
Affordable cost of living – Compared to other Western European countries, Portugal offers an excellent standard of living at a lower cost.
Quality health and infrastructure – The country has an excellent healthcare system and a pleasant climate all year round.
Tax advantages – The Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime can provide tax reductions or exemptions for foreign retirees.
Other options in Europe
