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.

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.
