Our tax team is also able to advise on the Portuguese Non-Habitual Tax regime (or NHR), which was created with an aim to attracting to Portugal non-resident professionals qualified for activities with added value intellectual or industrial knowhow, as well as beneficiaries of pension schemes granted abroad.

At TP&A, we assist in analyzing whether a candidate qualifies, and organize the necessary documentation required for submission of the application, accompanying the process until the final approval.

TP&A’s immigration lawyers also advise on the successful residence by investment program, also known as the “Golden Visa”, which is an economic citizenship program offered by the Portuguese government to encourage investment in Portugal. Successful applicants acquire residency rights in Portugal and visa-free travel to Schengen countries.

We also advise on the associated property matters relating to the investment required for the Golden Visa.
