Securing residency and business opportunities in Portugal

Felipe, originally from the U.S., had recently relocated to Portugal with help from our experts, where we secured residency for him through the D7 visa and set up his taxes under the Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) tax regime.

This meant Felipe had free access to Schengen European member countries and is now paying 0% tax on his non-Portugal-based rental income.
 
Felipe was also interested in making connections in Quinta do Lago, and we were able to support him with introductions in this vibrant property-driven expat community in the Golden Triangle area of the Algarve. He desired to immerse himself in Portuguese culture, engage with like-minded individuals, and invest in local real estate. However, the complexity of integrating into a new society, including social, legal, and logistical aspects, seemed challenging.

He was seeking not only a new home but also an opportunity to connect with the right people and events and take advantage of network opportunities that we were able to help him with to make his transition smoother and more fulfilling.
