JAAN-CLAIRE rodrigues
I was born in the UK and moved to Portugal in 1978, living in Faro. My education included both Portuguese and international schools, finishing in the UK. I worked at Casa Velha restaurant in the late 80s, followed by roles in tourism and as cabin crew. Since 2005, I’ve worked in real estate, joining Quinta do Lago in 2014. I’m bilingual in English and Portuguese, with knowledge of French. I love travelling, meeting people, Pilates, and long walks with my Golden Retriever.
I adore Quinta do Lago for its peace, serenity, and sense of well-being. My favourite spots are the nature reserve boardwalk and the surrounding area. I’m proud to be part of this fabulous resort, achieving great sales and being part of a wonderful team and family.
SAMANTHA mendes
I was born in France but am wholeheartedly Portuguese. With a background in Communication and Marketing, I’ve been working in luxury real estate since 2009. I love meeting new people and using creative thinking to find solutions for buyers. I speak Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish. I don’t enjoy writing bios but excel at negotiating win-win deals.
What I love most about Quinta do Lago is its sense of community, making everyone feel they belong. My favourite spot is the gazebo by the Ria Formosa, overlooking the bridge and Gigi’s. Each visit feels unique, with changing winds, tides, light, and seasons.
CATARINA costa
Born in the north, raised near the sea in central Portugal, I adopted the Algarve 17 years ago. Despite my legal background, dance, tap dance, and music are my true passions. I love pilates, traveling with my son, long nature walks, nautical activities, and spending time with friends. Eleven years ago, I transitioned to luxury real estate, working for top agencies before joining Quinta do Lago. My goal is to find perfect matches for clients, ensuring smooth, safe, and happy deals. I cherish the beauty of working here every day.
DULCE vieira LUANNA carslake
With over two decades of experience in high-end real estate, I specialize in the prestigious Quinta do Lago area. Born in Portugal and raised in Germany, I combine meticulous attention to detail with the joy of finding the perfect property for my clients. Working in Quinta do Lago’s beautiful, exclusive environment and meeting fascinating people is a privilege.
My favorite spot is the Ria Formosa by the lake next to Casa do Lago, where I’ve been lucky enough to admire flocks of pink flamingos on their way to their winter quarters. I also love the perfect white beach you reach after crossing the wooden bridge.
I’m half British, half Brazilian, and no stranger to the Algarve. With over 10 years of experience in Quinta do Lago, I’ve been a property manager in both the Golden Triangle and Quinta do Lago. Fluent in Portuguese and English, I use my social sciences background to showcase my warm and hospitable personality as the office manager for Quinta do Lago Real Estate. I keep our team of property consultants on track.
I love the extensive sandy beach, the peace of Ria Formosa, and walking in Ludo.
STATE OF the market
Market Report from Quinta do Lago Real Estate
Since last year, the property market in Quinta has continued to show evident signs of resilience, confidence, and sustainability, despite the volatile circumstances globally and the changes in fiscal incentives (NHR), special residence regimes (Golden Visa) and rental legislation (suspension of Alojamento Local licenses).
The permanent, consistent and increasing investment of the Quinta do Lago group in its facilities and operations offer an unparalleled seal of quality and trust, which is immediately acknowledged and recognized by the market and its stakeholders and adds value to a well controlled and balanced market, regardless of economic or financial cycles and trends.
MARKET OUTLOOK
Since the beginning of 2024, a number of correctly priced properties between +€12m and -€18m have sold in record time (some without even appearing formally in the market, and during the instruction phase).
These properties above mentioned have tendentially been of a classic timeless architecture and buyers are from different European nationalities, accustomed to Quinta do Lago, or even seasoned local investors, who opted on moving their primary residence within the resort.
Over optimistic and inflamed views of the market aiming at record breaking and speculative prices, are giving room to a more sustainable and conservative outlook, thus still on a very positive mood, especially now that the Resort plans on new exciting projects and developments for the coming years.
purchase PURPOSE
Why People Buy?
DEMAND & SUPPLY
The demand remains high, in almost every segment of the market of Quinta.
Unlike in 2022 and 2023, the supply of properties available for sale in the resort has significantly increased, showing a consistent upward trend since September 2023 across all market segments, with an overall increase of over 30%. While there is also an increase in the supply of properties priced above €15m and €20m, this growth is proportionally smaller compared to the overall market expansion.
Naturally, the power in negotiation and transaction is now more balanced between vendors (who had virtually all power in 2022) and buyers (who now have more options and choice).
Buyers are mature, sophisticated and highly educated in the market. The vast majority of these buyers are recurrent investors in Quinta and are European nationals.
New leads exploring the market are very thorough and opt on renting first. These new leads come for further afield (USA, Canada, Middle East, Singapore, etc), being very new to the Quinta do Lago market. Often, these leads have connections in Quinta already, through friends or business acquaintances.
MARKET OVERVIEW
Tourism Boom: 2023 witnessed record-breaking tourism in Portugal, with over 30 million visitors and 77 million overnight stays, generating approximately €25 billion in revenue, building up from the extraordinary years of 2021 and 2022. This trend is expected to continue through the second half of 2024, according to forecasts by tourism officials, with Portuguese Tourism outperforming its competitors. Safety, proximity and high end quality are the key factors for this heightened consumer preference for the Algarve.
Luxury Market Focus: Quinta do Lago resort holds by far the highest ranking among other luxury destinations, standing unrivalled before other resorts of the Central Algarve areas, catering to a selected elite of UHNW and HNW clientele, seeking exclusive lifestyle experiences and premium properties, with the solidity brought by over 5 decades of savoir-faire, expertise and proven track record.
MARKET TRENDS
Demand Still Outstripping Supply: Persistent high demand and a controlled property stock continue to drive up house prices in the Algarve, with prices expected to be maintained in 2024.
International Popularity: Portugal’s popularity as a destination is growing globally, attracting interest from countries like USA and Canada, Dubai and Australia. The Algarve appeals not only to holiday home buyers but also to digital nomads, young families, and couples seeking permanent residence.
Changing Market Dynamics: The market has shifted from a strong sellers’ market to a more balanced one, with buyers adopting a more deliberate approach. However, the real estate landscape remains robust, with increased property stock contributing to a healthier market environment. Although the streamlined buying process in Portugal facilitates swift completions, buyers are more thorough when it comes to assess and analyze the market, even when they are seasoned investors and very familiar with Quinta do Lago.
Top 5 Nationalities of Quinta do Lago
FORECAST AND INVESTMENT POTENTIAL
Optimistic Outlook: The Quinta do Lago market remains optimistic due to the area’s enduring appeal, exclusive lifestyle and sound infrastructures. Affluent buyers, far less impacted by economic fluctuations and uncertainty, continue to express strong interest in Quinta do Lago, viewing it as a sound longterm investment opportunity.
Competitive Pricing: Although the prices are considered to be very high in local terms, especially after the boom of previous years, the price per square meter in Quinta remains comparatively lower than other luxury destinations globally, especially when looking at the quality, and still offering significant growth potential. Buyers are increasingly wellinformed and perceive the pricing as competitive. In context of negotiation, it is becoming evident that vendors who speculate on the pricing of the property during market launch end up reducing the margin and selling at fair market price.
A palpable constant increase in the number of listings since the end of 2023 offers buyers more options and choice, causing them to be less inclined to overpay for a property, even when the decision is more emotional rather than rational. The consistent investment by the owner into the resort has further strengthened trust in the Quinta brand, reassuring buyers of the property’s enduring value and commitment to quality.
BUYER’S ORIGIN AND MARKET DYNAMICS
Diverse Buyer Base: While UK and Irish buyers still dominate, the market is diversifying, with increased interest from the USA and Poland. Portuguese still have a strong interest in Quinta do Lago.
Company Structures: The trend of purchasing properties through company structures persists, mainly for estate planning purposes, reflecting the sophistication of buyers in the high-end market. Nevertheless, an increasing number of transactions are occurring through asset deals or direct purchase, due to underlying liabilities of existing dated corporate structures.
OPPORTUNITIES AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Renovation and New Builds: Properties suitable for refurbishment or demolition present lucrative opportunities for both buyers and sellers. A stabilization in construction costs, following inflation spike and overall cost increases, is set to maintain a degree of profitability of such investments.
Market Stability and Confidence: Despite fluctuations in global geopolitics and policy changes, Quinta do Lago luxury market maintains stability and confidence among buyers and developers, stemming from historical resilience, constant shareholder investment and renewal of demographics on demand.
Quinta do Lago remains unrivalled as the first-choice family luxury resort for UHNW and HNW individuals in Portugal. With its privileged central position in the Algarve it leverages its unique position to capitalize on the region’s growing popularity and investment potential. With a diverse buyer base, competitive value-for-money in a global context and favorable market dynamics, the outlook for 2024 is optimistic, promising another great year for all stakeholders.

unveiling THE DREAM
In Collaboration with Quinta do Lago Real Estate
Time and time again Quinta do Lago has proven its ability to evolve and innovate. As a younger demographic embraces the lifestyle offered by the resort and the central Algarve, so its new generation of buyers look to own a new style of home.

“We wanted to create something completely fresh, a superior home that stands the test of time, yet testament to what previous generations have achieved at Quinta.”
There can be few better placed to understand this than Lauren Heley, a second-generation property developer whose family has been at the resort since 1996. Combining her knowledge of Quinta’s heritage with her real estate experience around the world, she is now developing an exceptional property on the resort through her own development company, Flawless Selection.
A good few years ago, we were fortunate in securing a plot in Rua Sado, one of the most prestigious locations in Quinta with one of the most generous plot sizes [3,367 sqm], zoned by Andre Jordan himself in his original 1972 master plan, and chosen by Formula One legend Ayrton Senna for his European home,” says Lauren, 28, who holds a Masters’ Degree in Housing and City Planning and a diploma in interior design.
“We wanted to create something completely fresh, a superior home that stands the test of time, yet testament to what previous generations have achieved at Quinta.”
O Sonho, ‘or The Dream’ is a 1624 sq m house designed to work either as a long-term residence, or a holiday property, with sustainability, technology, and modern living requirements. In sync with today’s most advanced environmental resources and designed with preservation in
mind, it has seven bedrooms, thirteen bathrooms and carefully considered layout of staff quarters, outside relaxation areas and sits in a low-maintenance and autochthonous garden overlooking the 7th hole of the award-winning South Course. A mindful use of clean water is part of the sustainability concerns for the younger generation of property owners, hence why drought-resistant vegetation, less grass and more mediterranean-feel gardens was the desired solution.
“We sought to design something homely and functional, nothing too vast, windows not too big, ceilings not too high that would be in sync with its natural surroundings,” says Lauren, who travelled through Portugal and destinations further afield in her research of sustainable building styles and materials. “I loved the warmth and natural organic aesthetic of properties being built in the Alentejo for example.”
Time spent exploring Dubai as well as southern Portugal helped her to best understand how homes can best withstand extreme heat, as summer temperatures on the Algarve can now top 40 degrees. Along with a slab-roof ‘heat halo’ shading the property, the 6m-high front door only half opens to conserve heat or coolness within the home. Simple yet effective solutions such
as this one translate into real sustainability and overall comfort, unlike other supposed “green” and environmentally friendly features that so often are boasted by property developers at a global scale. The indoor/outdoor living blends the home with nature - it all becomes one in the way you live.
As locally as she could, she sourced a wood-effect sustainable light-weight material for the four pillars embellishing the imposing façade of the property, as well as analysing how to improve staff access in the layout. “It was key to offer separate staff access to ensure they can operate discreetly – whether using the separate back kitchen for food preparation or laundry, accessing their own live-in accommodation or a spa professional visiting a treatment room in the basement.”
Providing direct access to the pool area, the basement is an extensive flexible space that can also include a gym, cinema, golf simulator, games room, TV lounge – as the owner prefers. This
same adaptability applies to the seventh bedroom which might be a home office or an additional guest room, whilst putting two bedrooms on the same floor as the master suite was a deliberate step-change from the trend for whole-floor masters – resulting in a more family-orientated layout.
“Many families find it more practical to have children on the same floor,” says Lauren. “This is one of the more traditional aspects of the home juxtaposed with the latest technology.” Sustainability features were essential to achieve the goal of an energy-efficient home: photovoltaic and solar panels, an air source heat pump and multiple electric car chargers.

process. João’s knowledge and approachability was unmatched, and he actively listened and embraced the vision I had for the project. Working with such talent helped me discover that I’m capable of far more than I thought.”
She found creating dedicated and loyal partnerships with the long-established services that Quinta da Lago equally helpful, working alongside Team 6, Quinta’s in-house security team, to incorporate CCTV and the alarm system; and Clube da Quinta, the resort’s full-service management team who will look after maintenance and upkeep for the future of owner’s tranquillity .
Q Landscape is expertly creating a low-maintenance and drought-resistant Mediterranean garden that still looks very aesthetically impressive. Cypresses and lavender provide a sense of arrival, whilst rustic, naturally shaped olive trees and fruit trees provide shade in the back. A lit path of olive trees leads down to the viewing spot over the 7th hole of the South Course; plus, the villa will have direct buggy access to The Clubhouse, removing the need to drive on the road.
The Campus, Quinta’s cutting-edge sporting complex, now the de-facto social hub of the resort for many of the new-generation owners, is just across the road from the property. “It was listening
to many of our neighbours there that we began to understand what to aim fo r with O Sonho,” says Lauren, who lives nearby with her partner Mike , who now works alongside her at Flawless Selection.
Just as Lauren had developed a fondness for the resort since she was a child, Mike had fallen in love with Quinta do Lago on golf trips. When the opportunity to develop something very special arose, they decided to move to the resort to develop their business opportunities and create a meaningful and balanced life.
“I’ve seen Quinta do Lago evolve over the years, with a large change after the pandemic, as younger families and individuals came seeking a more relaxed, secure and in-tune with nature lifestyle, for which the Algarve (and especially Quinta) is treasured. The Campus and its the community feel was the decisive reason that really made us feel like we could live here all year round, with the padel, the gym and the café.”
Following the completion of O Sonho in Easter 2025, Lauren and Mike are going to develop another plot in Quinta and also a site of townhouses, in Almancil all of which will advance their fresh take on development and prioritise design excellence, build quality and timely delivery.

SIMPLEX URBANISTIC PLANNING
On January 8th, the Decree-Law No. 10/2024, better known as Simplex Urban Planning, was published. This law reformed a set of rules in the areas of urbanistic planning and land management, aiming to simplify, modernise, and expedite urban management and land planning processes.
Among the more than two dozen measures, the following stand out:
● Shifting the control of urbanistic operations, which, as a rule, no longer takes place at a pre-execution stage (prior control) and is now relegated to an execution or even completion stage;
● The revocation of Decree-Law 281/99, of July 26th, and the removal of the requirement to present the construction or usage licence to the Notary, allowing any properties to be transacted even if they do not have a formal license;
● Changing the use of units to residential no longer depends on the authorisation of the condominium owners;
● The intention to digitalise processes, achieve greater uniformity and transparency, and reduce bureaucracy, by planning to create platforms that allow the processing of applications in a digital context from 2025 onwards;
● Adoption of a tacit approval regime for construction licences, to which the tacit approval certification regime applies through the issuance of a certificate obtained in an electronic procedure;
● Prior communication becomes the applicable procedure for a series of urbanistic operations, particularly concerning properties where there are already requests for favourable prior information;
For specific details and updates on Simplex Urbanistic Planning, it is recommended to consult local councils and contact a professional.

Prior to any prospective acquisition, we cordially advise you to scrutinize the following topics
buyers GUIDE
01. CONTACT QUINTA DO LAGO REAL ESTATE FOR EXPERT ASSISTANCE
As the official real estate agency of the resort, Quinta do Lago Real Estate is the right partner for you, offering notable support and confidence. Our team of qualified professionals possesses the best knowledge of the resort.
02. FORMULATE A REALISTIC VISION
Begin by determining the type of property you are looking for while taking into account your budget and fundamental requirements. This may range from an apartment to a townhouse, a villa or even an empty plot intended for construction. By doing so, you will avoid pointless property tours and potential time loss. It is also advised to decide the principal use for your future property, be it a permanent or semi-permanent residence, a holiday home, or as an investment.
03.CAREFULLY EVALUATE YOUR OPTIONS
After attending a series of property viewings or browsing through potential choices, familiarize yourself with the financial implications, such as costs and associated taxes. If you are contemplating obtaining financing, remember to review and compare the ratings and conditions of both local and international banking institution s.
04. SEEK EXPERT FISCAL ADVICE
Prior to any purchases, we strongly suggest consulting a Portugal-based financial advisor This will provide a comprehensive insight into the financial consequences and additional commitments that a property investment may have on your individual circumstances.
05. HIRE A QUALIFIED LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE
Select a local lawyer or solicitor known for their expertise and experience within the Portuguese real estate market. This legal professional will be able to provide valuable guidance on any potential deals and perform due diligence on property documentation. Furthermore, they will clarify the resources at your disposal and assist you in navigating through the process of purchase until the transaction is successfully concluded.
ACQUISITION and taxes
Property TAX Guide in Portugal
There are certain expenditures associated with purchasing a property in Portugal that need thoughtful financial planning. These acquisition costs may be utilised to offset potential future liabilities arising from the capital gains tax, on the condition that they are carefully documented.
Thus, it is fundamental to maintain and systematically organize these records properly. When you purchase the property in your own name, you will need to pay fixed fees for Notarial and Registration acts. Additionally, the Purchase Transfer Tax (IMT) and Stamp Duty will be calculated based on the purchase value of the property.
When purchasing a property, it’s important to be aware of the associated taxes. Stamp Duty is a fixed tax rate of 0.8%, while the Purchase Transfer Tax is a variable tax that depends on the property type and ranges from 1% to 8%.
In the Quinta do Lago market, the typical rate for Purchase Transfer Tax varies from 6% to 7.5%, with plots specifically at 6.5%, which aligns with the local property prices within this region.
These taxes require a one-time payment upon the property purchase. It is important to take into account the legal fees associated with your lawyer. Although these can vary considerably among solicitors, they usually constitute about 1% to 2% of the transactional value.
Aside from the Transfer Tax, there is an Annual Property Tax (IMI) payable annually in either 2 or 3 installments. In some cases, certain properties that surpass a specific valuation may be subject to an additional annual property tax referred to as AIMI.
The calculation of both taxes is based on the Property Rateable Value (VPT- Valor Patrimonial Tributário) of the real estate property. The local Municipality determines the tax rates annually, which fluctuate between 0.3% and 0.8%. Quinta do Lago and other nearby resorts, governed by the Municipality of Loulé, have traditionally been on the lower end of the spectrum, remaining at 0.3% over the past few years.
There are different ownership structures and the progression toward a definitive acquisition will pursue a divergent trajectory in accordance with the type of structure you choose.
Each option will lead to a distinctive path in terms of securing the ownership of your selected property.
ownership STRUCTURE
Owning a Property with Quinta do Lago Real Estate
THE MOST COMMON OPTIONS ARE
● Purchasing the property under the name of the prospective buyer(s);
● Acquiring the property under the designation of a company, be it domestic or international;
Typically, legal professionals are responsible for the formulation, negotiation, and endorsement of a Share Purchase Agreement. This document delineates the terms and conditions for the transaction’s execution, including provisions for deposits, deadlines, and penalties.
Prior to the official endorsement of the Share Purchase Agreement, a Due Diligence procedure is usually implemented by the purchasing party’s legal counsel to examine all documentation pertinent to the transaction.
Upon mutual agreement, a specific date is accorded for the finalization of the transaction. At this time, this involves signing a terminal document that meets all the necessary final transactional requirements.
Local legal advisors, who are well-versed in these matters, can provide indispensable guidance and necessary support to improve your understanding of each ownership structure. Additionally, they will have access to comprehensive information relevant to every possible scenario.
Upon acceptance and agreement of the offer, the buyer and seller instruct their respective legal representatives to commence the legal and administrative procedures necessary for the transfer of the property.
To ensure the property’s transaction, a “Promissory Contract of Purchase and Sale” (CPCV) is typically drafted and agreed upon by the lawyers of both parties. During the negotiation phase, it is typical for some of the details of this document to have already been settled by both parties.
Prior to the CPCV, a refundable reservation fee may sometimes be requested and held by Quinta do Lago Real Estate as trustees.
individual OWNERSHIP
Legal reps facilitate property transfer
This promissory contract usually outlines the major clauses that are required to be incorporated within the final deed, which serves as the official document facilitating the property’s transfer and must be signed at an authorised Notary’s Office. Your legal team along with the Quinta do Lago Real Estate consultants will make sure that all legal requirements are accomplished and that a safe and smooth transaction takes place.
KEY TOPICS COVERED IN THE CPCV CONTRACT
● It is mandatory to include the purchase price and terms of payment in any transaction - a deposit between 10% to 25% is typically considered standard.
● A contract may be subject to the buyer securing the necessary financing for the transaction, a satisfactory evaluation of the paperwork during due diligence, and a satisfactory Structural Survey report, among others.
● The timeline for completion of the transaction usually takes between 30 and 90 days to occur.
● The implications of a potential contractual breach whilst generic consequences can be mutually agreed upon. They usually include the vendor’s right to retain the initial deposit if the breach is caused by the buyer. If the vendor causes the breach, the obligation to return twice the value of the initial deposit to the buyer is included.
VISAS IN portugal
Obtain the residency in Portugal and find out which option suits you best.
Portugal stands out in rankings as one of the most attractive countries for foreigners, and the reasons seem obvious. Safety, a favourable climate, diverse cuisine, and an affordable cost of living are decisive factors. Additionally, the ease of obtaining residency and staying leagally in the country is also a significant reason.
It is at this point that some recent changes deserve consideration.
TYPES OF VISAS IN PORTUGAL
Choosing the right type of visa should be assessed on a caseby-case basis, depending on the specific needs and intentions of each individual and the purpose of their stay.
Currently, and in a simplified manner, there are two types of visas for entering Portugal:
● Schengen Visas; and
● National Visas.
The Schengen Visa is intended for stays of less than 90 days and is aimed at situations such as tourism, family visits, business prospecting, meetings, consultations, or other short-term trips.
For stays of over three months, there are various types of national visas, distinguished as follows:
● Temporary stay visas (usually for stays longer than three months and up to one year, including, for example, seasonal work, prolonged medical treatments, etc.); and
● Residence visas (for stays longer than one year).
Among the residence visas, the most commonly used options by foreigners who intend to reside and regularise their stay in Portugal include the D7 visa, the D2 visa, and the Digital Nomad Visa.
D7, D2, AND DIGITAL NOMAD VISA
The process for the D2 visa, the D7 visa, and the Digital Nomad Visa is similar, starting at the Portuguese Consulate/Embassy with the visa application that will allow the foreigner to enter Portugal to personally apply for a residence permit.
However, in their essence, these visas are different.
The D2 (also known as the residence visa for entrepreneurs) is aimed at non-EU citizens who wish to start a business in Portugal or work as self-employed individuals.
The D7 Visa (also known as the residence visa for holders of passive income) is an interesting option for non-EU foreigners who have their own income from retirement, movable or immovable property, intellectual property, or financial investments.
The Digital Nomad Visa is designed for foreign citizens who, as freelancers or company employees, perform their work remotely and wish to work from Portugal for external clients.
Holders of a residence permit based on the D7 visa, the D2 visa, or the Digital Nomad Visa must reside in Portugal, not being absent for more than six consecutive months or eight intermittent months.
RESIDENCE PERMIT FOR INVESTMENT ACTIVITY (ARI)
When there is no intention or possibility to move residency to Portugal, another relevant option for non-EU foreigners who wish to invest in Portugal is the residence permit for investment activity (ARI), also known as the Golden Visa.
Unlike the D2, D7, and Digital Nomad Visa, the ARI is not a visa but a residence permit applied for directly in Portugal, when it is possible to prove a qualified investment, namely:
● Subscription of qualified investment or venture capital funds;
● Donations to the arts or research activities;
● Job creation;
● Capitalisation of new or existing companies.
In this case, only a stay of 14 days every two years in Portugal is required.
EACH TYPE OF RESIDENCE PERMIT HAS SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
For this reason, it is advisable to consult AIMA and have the support of a qualified professional to obtain more detailed and updated information.
RNH 2.0: THE NEW TAX INCENTIVE FOR SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND INNOVATION (IFICI)
With the approved end of the Non-Habitual Residents (NHR) Regime, despite the provision of an important transitional rule that allows the regime to be applied to those who already benefited from it or were in the process of transferring tax residence to Portugal, the Portuguese government has created a new special
tax incentive regime aimed at attracting talent and promoting research and innovation in Portugal.
This new regime, which some call RNH 2.0, is a regime applicable to taxpayers who meet three essential conditions:
● Become tax residents in Portugal;
● Have not been tax residents in the five previous years;
● Earn income in certain professional categories.
The eligible professional careers include, but are not limited to:
a) Higher education teachers and researchers integrated into the national science and technology system, as well as professionals from recognised technology and innovation centres;
b) Qualified jobs and members of governing bodies in entities benefiting from tax incentives for productive investment;
c) Highly qualified professions, defined by a government ordinance (which has not yet been published) in the areas of finance and economics;
d) Jobs and members of governing bodies in entities certified as start-ups, under Law No. 21/2023, of May 25.
The tax advantages associated with this regime are:
(i) A special rate of 20% on professional income (employment contract or service provision);
(ii) Exemption on some income earned abroad as was the case with the NHR regime, with the express exception of retirement pensions;
This special regime will be available for a period of ten consecutive years, provided that beneficiaries remain tax residents in Portugal and continue to earn income from eligible activities.
Among the residence visas, the most commonly used options by foreigners who intend to reside and regularise their stay in Portugal include the D7 visa, the D2 visa, and the Digital Nomad Visa.
