A lifestyle unique in Europe!
Portugal is one of Europe's most attractive destinations for expatriates from the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany and France in 2025, thanks to a rare combination of quality of life, climate, favourable taxation and facilities tailored to foreigners.
The Institute for Economics & Peace (IEP) places Portugal as the 4th safest place to live in the world. This is based on a survey covering 163 different states and territories using different factors that accumulate into its 'peacefulness'. Some of the indicators used are as follows; impact of terrorism, number of violent deaths, nuclear capability, condition of peace, social security, internal conflicts and international relations. There are rarely any severe crimes here and while we should always take precautions it is not a society that looks to rob, steal or defraud its citizens. Most villas that are sold will have an alarm, maybe grills on the windows and sometimes CCTV. This isn't necessary but we work on the basis it is better to be safe than sorry.
Safety
• Over 300 days of sunshine per year, beaches, nature and a mild climate;
• Cities such as Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve and the Silver Coast, which are ideal for working and living;
• A relaxed atmosphere that attracts retirees, digital nomads, families and international professionals.
The Expat Insider survey regularly ranks Portugal among the best destinations in the world for quality of life, safety and ease of integration (recent data) — which explains the growth of British, American, French and German communities.
Die gesprochenen Sprachen, internationalen Schulen, Coworking Spaces und maßgeschneiderten Dienstleistungen erleichtern die Ansiedlung ohne kulturelle Barrieren.
Fazit
Portugal = ausgewogener Lebensstil, moderne Infrastruktur, einladende Atmosphäre. All diese Faktoren erklären die anhaltende Attraktivität des Landes für europäische und amerikanische Auswanderer.
