Why Does Portugal Rank First Among the Best Countries for Retirement?
Portugal is a developed capitalist country, a member of the European Union, a member of the Eurozone, and one of the founding members of NATO. It is also a member of international organizations such as the WorldWay Organization and the United Nations. Portugal boasts a mild climate, a good social security environment, a well-established healthcare system, and a relatively low cost of living.
Jennifer Stevens, the executive editor of International Living, pointed out that in addition to its beautiful natural conditions, abundant sunshine, beautiful beaches, and picturesque mountains and valleys, the friendly residents of Portugal, the slow pace of life, and the affordable cost of living contribute to its outstanding quality of life, making it stand out in the rankings!
Moreover, in the 2019 Global Peace Index (Global Terrorism Index 2019), Portugal was rated as the third safest country in the world.
The retirement paradise of Portugal has attracted many individuals to immigrate here! According to the latest data from the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF), in February 2020, the Portugal Golden Residence Permit program added 70 new applicants, with over 91% of applicants applying for residency through property purchase! In February, the total investment attracted by this program was 46.24 million euros. Applicants from Brazil accounted for approximately 21% of the total number of applicants, ranking first; applicants from China accounted for approximately 11% of the total number of applicants, ranking second. This is the first time since the launch of the program that Chinese applicants did not hold the largest share.
Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit program, investors can purchase properties starting from 350,000 euros, allowing three generations of the family to apply for Portuguese Golden Residence status, travel freely across 26 Schengen countries, and also gain permanent property ownership, making it a multifaceted opportunity for planning a suitable retirement residence for themselves and their families!
