How to apply for NHR status in Portugal?

If you became a resident of Portugal in 2022, you have until March 31, 2023, to apply for NHR - Non-Habitual Resident. This is a preferential tax regime, which will be valid for ten years. Portugal aims to become more attractive to new residents – take the opportunity!

If you become a resident in 2023, you have one more year – the deadline for you is March 2024.

NHR status gives you the opportunity to reduce the rate of foreign income and, in some cases, even to be exempt from it. The NHR allows you to pay only 20% on active income and 0% on dividends and passive foreign income. Of course, each case may have its own nuances - better to consult an expert.

Not everything happens quickly in Portugal. Don't put off applying – do it now! If you don't get your status in time, that opportunity will simply disappear. 

You can apply for the NHR yourself in your personal account on the tax portal. The second option is that we can apply for you. It will be online, remotely. If you need help, apply for the service here.
