Why Portugal

Portugal is Europe’s oldest country having the same borders. It was founded in 1143 and has had its current borders since 1249. Portugal is a country with a beautiful and diverse scenery, a mild climate (3,000 hours of sunshine per year in Lisbon) and a rich cultural heritage that includes more than 5 centuries of close relationships with peoples all over the World, including Asia, Africa and the Americas.


Portugal has a highly educated population, half of whom can speak at least one foreign language (mainly English), and a centuries-old tradition of welcoming foreigners. It is a democracy, a free market economy, a member of the European Union and of the Schengen Space (26 European countries), and a potential gateway to a market of about 250m people in the Portuguese speaking countries and communities.

News & Insights


20 November 2024
Each year, the Portuguese housing market is updated in accordance with the guidelines established under the Novo Regime de Arrendamento Urbano (NRAU). For 2025, Notice No. 23099/2024/2, published on the 18th of October, officially set the maximum rent increase at 2.16%. In practical terms, the rent for a property priced at EUR 1,000 could increase by EUR 21.60. It is important to note that if a landlord has not adjusted the rent in the past three years, they may now apply an increase of up to 11%, reflecting the cumulative adjustments from those years. However, this update is not mandatory and applies only to existing rental agreements. Landlords also have flexibility in timing, as the increase can be implemented at any point in 2025 – not necessarily in January - as long as they provide tenants with at least 30 days' prior notice.
Currently, many U.S. citizens are exploring opportunities to live abroad while working remotely.
