Recently, the American magazine "International Living" released the ranking of the most suitable countries for retirement in 2022. Portugal ranked fourth, becoming the number one country in Europe suitable for living and retirement.
The 2022 Global Retirement Index ranked multiple countries based on 10 categories including cost of living, housing, governance, health, and retiree benefits. The safety of each destination was also taken into account. The average value of these indicators was used to determine the suitability of each country for retirement, and among all these indicators, Portugal ranked first in climate, health, and cost of living, with an overall ranking of fourth in the world.
In fact, Portugal has been at the top of the list of the best retirement destinations for many years. This country, located in the southwest corner of Europe, has charming cities, beautiful beaches, rolling hills... At the same time, it also has first-class medical services, low cost of living, and high safety.
The Portuguese government invests 10.1% of its GDP in healthcare every year, making the national medical system relatively perfect. It is currently ranked 12th by the World Health Organization. Under the perfect medical system, the average life expectancy in Portugal has reached 81.1 years! Medical expenses in Portugal are very low, and as long as you hold a Portuguese medical insurance card, you can enjoy local public medical services. Portugal implements a system of separating medicine from medical treatment, and pharmacies are very convenient, distributed all over the streets.
At the same time, prices in Portugal are low, people are affluent, and the west of Portugal has a long coastline. Coupled with the suitable temperature, the life of the local people is very leisurely. Good wine, sunshine, and beaches are an indispensable part of their lives. Most people think that countries with developed tourism industries will also have correspondingly high consumption levels. But Portugal is definitely one of the few countries with low living costs among many popular tourist destinations.
Pleasant Mediterranean climate, sound retirement benefits, developed medical system, low cost of living index... Portugal's ranking as the fourth best retirement country in 2022 is well-deserved. Coupled with its fast and convenient immigration policy, in recent years, Portugal has been highly favored by immigrant investors, and the recognition of high-net-worth individuals has been rising. Portugal's immigration policy not only has a moderate investment threshold but also has no requirements for academic qualifications, language, or source of funds. A family of three generations can immigrate to Portugal together.
