Advantages and disadvantages of Portuguese immigrants

The advantages of Portuguese immigrants are simple application conditions and low cost of living, which are suitable for holiday and old-age care; The disadvantage is the rising cost of housing migration.

1. Advantages: The application materials for the Portuguese Golden Visa Immigration Project are very simple, and there is no need to provide proof of the source of funds, declare personal/company assets, and have no academic qualifications, occupation or language restrictions.

The cost of living in Portugal is about 30% lower than that in other European countries. The farther away from the capital, the lower the price. Portugal implements free public education and free public medical care, and holders of Portuguese status can enjoy local welfare policies.

Portugal is a southern European country with mild climate and intoxicating scenery, and it is one of the best countries in Europe. Moreover, compared with other countries, Portugal has a slow pace of life and is very suitable for living and supporting the elderly.

2. Disadvantages: Portugal has updated the property tax rate, which will increase the vacant property tax. This means that if you buy a property in a big city like Lisbon, but it has been vacant, you have to pay 30% of the house price as vacancy tax.

However, this measure does not have much impact on the applicants for golden visas, because the new immigration policy stipulates that immigrants who buy houses cannot buy residential properties in Lisbon, Porto and coastal cities.
