FAQs

Frequently asked question about life and investment in Portugal

Does NHR status protect me from Portuguese property taxes?

No. NHR status only applies to income tax. It does not exempt you from municipal property taxes or surcharges on high-value real estate, which apply based on the taxable value of the property, regardless of your tax regime.

What happens to my foreign-sourced investment income after NHR?

Once NHR ends, foreign-sourced interest and dividends are typically taxed at a flat rate. However, residents may choose to aggregate this income with other earnings if applying progressive scales results in a lower overall tax liability.

Does Portugal Golden Visa allow dual citizenship?

Portugal permits dual citizenship in many cases. Golden Visa holders can become eligible to apply for Portuguese citizenship after meeting the legal requirements over the qualifying period, including documentation and language requirements, and subject to authority assessment.

What does Portugal Pathways provide in the fund evaluation process?

Portugal Pathways provides a comparison framework and professional introductions rather than regulated advice. Suitability, risk assessment, and specific product recommendations require authorised professionals.

Do CMVM-regulated funds guarantee Golden Visa approval?

No. CMVM regulation refers to the regulatory framework for fund governance. Approval depends on individual eligibility, documentation, and discretionary review by the relevant authorities.
