Why Russian citizens choose residency in Portugal

For Russian investors and entrepreneurs aiming for European integration, Portugal is a country offering unique opportunities. One of its key advantages is a special tax regime for residents — by living in the country for at least 183 days per year and owning local property, you are exempt from paying taxes on foreign income.

Acquiring property in popular tourist areas like Algarve, Lisbon, or Porto opens up opportunities for regular passive income. Rental rates in these areas allow for returns up to 10% annually, ensuring steady capital appreciation.

Portugal successfully combines mild climate, diverse natural landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and high public safety. These factors create comfortable conditions for permanent residence and business development.
