Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Portuguese Golden Visa by buying a home?
No. Since October 2023 residential property no longer qualifies. The programme continues through routes such as investment funds, while a home purchase can be combined with visas such as the D7 or D8.
Are there restrictions on foreigners buying property in Portugal?
No. Foreigners can buy property on the same terms as Portuguese citizens. The first step is obtaining a Portuguese tax number (NIF).
What are the purchase taxes?
IMT transfer tax ranges from 0 to 7.5% depending on value and use, plus 0.8% stamp duty. Including notary and registry costs, total costs are typically around 7–8%.
What rental yields can I expect in Portugal?
Long-term lets in Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve typically yield 4–6% gross, with higher returns possible from short-term rentals in the right location. Short-term rental licences (AL) may be restricted in some areas.
