Do you want to move out of India, and settle abroad? Are you thinking about the best country to move to?
Then Portugal is the place for you.
The following points explain why Portugal continues to be the haven of Europe for people who want to settle abroad.
Quality of life
Portugal is a warm and friendly country and has been frequently listed in the top 3 countries ranked as the happiest places for expats.
The Expat Insider Survey in 2019 by InterNations ranked Portugal 1st for the quality of life. The Expats, who were participants in the survey thought highly of the environment’s quality and climate whilst safety and security also scored high. Some expats stated that they chose Portugal because it felt incredibly safe.
The best climate in Europe
The climate in Portugal is ideal. The hot summers and mild winters make sure that residents are comfortable and that the flora is varied and beautiful.
Beautiful, affordable & spacious properties
Portugal has many older and charming properties available, and there’s a growing trend towards heritage style apartments for the retired.
Portugal’s real estate industry has also started to pick up after a slowdown due to the Covid-19 and has become a key destination for people who want to settle abroad. In the past few years, the Asian buyers in the Portuguese real estate market have increasingly grown. According to the latest report by International Living, Portugal is the best-value destination in western Europe today.
Low cost of living
Portugal offers a low cost of living in Western Europe, in comparison to many other countries in the region. Various aspects, namely accommodation and groceries, are affordable. Food costs, in the country, are low in general. Many cities and towns in Portugal—including Lisbon—continue to have large, thriving traditional markets, as well as supermarkets.
Stunning beaches and coasts
The Algarve, Portugal’s famed southernmost region, is particularly popular, but a beautiful coastline surrounds the entire country.
The most popular seashores include Praia De Marinha in the Algarve, which is known for its clear water, soft golden sand and sheer limestone cliffs in addition to fascinating caves. Other than this, there is Praia De Falesia, a comprehensive six-kilometre beach with shallow waters and breathtaking cliff-top walks.
Other notable shores include Praia De Carvalho, Praia Da Ursa and Praia De Mirimar, though there are, of course, many more than these!
Family-friendly country
Culturally, children are an integrated part of society, are valued and included in far more events than they might be in England. This further contributes to the warm and welcoming feeling of the country.
English is widely spoken
As English is so widely spoken in the country, settling in Portugal becomes further easy.
Expat satisfaction
According to a recent report by Expat Insider, Portugal ranks 3rd out of 64 countries for rankings on health & well-being, personal happiness, safety & security, leisure options, travel & transportation, and also digital life.
More than eight out of ten expats feel at home here, which is one of the world’s highest ratings. People feel welcomed, safe and secure and that medical care is good.
Foreign investment and property ownership
Portugal encourages property buyers from outside the EU. It is an excellent destination for business immigration and investment. The country market is investors’ friendly, but the perks of easy permanent residency and citizenship have no doubt resulted in increased interest and investment in Portugal.
The most economical cities in Portugal are – Guarda (690 euros/m2 – 5776.57 rupees/ft2), Portalegre (700 euros/m2 – 5862.91 rupees/ft2), Castelo Branco (750 euros/m2 – 6281.32 rupees/ft2), and Beja (780 euros/m2 – 6531.98 rupees/ft2).
Therefore, Portugal is a haven for immigrants who want to enjoy a good lifestyle and clean environment and going by the market trends, this interest will only grow, making obtaining a Portugal immigration more competitive in the coming years.
