WHY LISBON?

Lisbon's charm has never been in question.

The capital of Portugal has beautiful, colourful architecture and tram filled, pretty streets. The hills in the city provide exceptional views across roof tops and particularly of the blue Tagus river, as it opens to the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, you can enjoy world class shopping and food, of course but the city has a great deal more to discover.

Lisbon enjoys year-round sunshine, warm average temperatures, and protected, white, ocean beaches. It has just won Europe’s Leading City Break Destination in 2018 and The World’s Leading City Break Destination 2017. Wallpaper voted it Design City of the year in 2017. Lisbon is also one of Europe’s tech hubs; the Web Summit held in November pulls in thousands of technology companies from all over the world, whilst well funded Government initiatives to promote investment in startups have helped entrepreneurs to thrive.

RESIDENCY BY INVESTMENT

Lisbon has experienced a renaissance since the world financial crisis. By introducing the non-habitual resident scheme in 2009, it has successfully attracted a great number of wealthy Europeans who can qualify for special and lucrative tax breaks. This influx of wealth has also led to entrepreneurial activity in Lisbon which has benefited a number of industries, from real estate to tech start ups.

The non-habitual resident scheme secures a 10 year tax holiday on foreign sourced dividends and other qualifying income, in addition to other special tax advantages based on income. The non habitual resident scheme also offers zero inheritance and gift tax.*

By creating a Golden Visa scheme in 2013, Lisbon has also cleverly positioned itself as one of the most affordable gateways to Europe. Now with a 500,000 Euro investment in an apartment, a family can have access to all that Portugal has to offer, including world class university education.

With a minimum annual stay requirement, The Golden Visa Programme allows you and your family to live, study and work, as well as travel freely within Europe (Schengen area). Portugal’s Golden Visa is clearly one of the most attractive residency by investment programmes in the world.
