Voted the best destination for retirement, ahead of Thailand and Morocco (www.retraite-etranger.fr), Portugal's advantages are well known (geographical and cultural proximity, heritage, lifestyle, sunny climate, quality of medical care...).
With 320 days of sunshine a year, "Florida of Europe", a few hours from all European capitals, attracts seniors who want to enjoy a quality of life at a lower cost, by the sea, in a stable and welcoming country.
In addition to its many assets (geographical and cultural proximity, heritage, lifestyle, sunny climate, quality of care médicaux), Portugal has since 2013 introduced a new tax regime that allows non-traditional European residents (RNH) who settle there more than 183 days a year to benefit for 10 years from a 0% tax rate on certain income received abroad, such as private sector pensions.
