NHR2- A New Lifestyle Awaits in Portugal—and Beyond

Portugal offers a gateway to Europe, not only through its welcoming visa programs but also through its advantageous tax regime: the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) program. While NHR doesn’t grant residency or travel rights directly, it works in tandem with Portugal’s visa options—like the D7 or Digital Nomad visa—to offer a compelling and streamlined path to living in Europe.

With NHR2 status, you can benefit from significant tax advantages, including 0% tax on most foreign-sourced income for up to 10 years. When paired with a Portuguese residency visa, this opens the door not just to Portugal, but to visa-free travel across all 29 Schengen countries.
And here’s a major long-term benefit:
When you obtain residency in Portugal, you’re typically granted a 5-year residency visa. After this period, you’ll have two powerful options:

1. Apply for Portuguese citizenship—you get a Portuguese passport and keep your original passport, thanks to dual citizenship.

2. Or choose a 10-year permanent residency card, giving you long-term stability without changing your nationality.


Either path gives you lasting freedom to live and thrive in Europe.
But Portugal is more than just a tax-friendly destination—it’s a lifestyle transformation. From the peaceful beaches of the Algarve to fresh local cuisine, a family-focused culture, and a cost of living lower than many parts of the US, it’s your opportunity to live more richly—without spending more.

Your Path to Portugal: The NHR2 and LDA Advantage

Relocating to Portugal and securing NHR2 status isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Many services take months and offer little more than generic, public information. That’s where we’re different.
Our team of international finance experts not only understands the NHR2 program inside and out—we also provide exclusive, strategic guidance to align your visa application, residency planning, and business structure (like setting up a Portuguese LDA, similar to an LLC) into one efficient, future-proof strategy.
By combining NHR2 benefits with the right residency visa, we help you secure legal access to Portugal—and, through the Schengen Zone, all of Europe. With the right setup, you’ll enjoy 0% tax on foreign income, a business-friendly structure, and a lifestyle most only dream of.
