Portugal's Non-Habitual Regime (NHR) system will close to new arrivals in 2024

The 2024 state budget bill submitted by the Portuguese government to the Portuguese Parliament confirms the intention to end the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) system from 2024.

According to the proposal, new applicants must apply before December 31, 2023 and complete their application/approval by March 31, 2024.

Current NHR status holders retain their benefits for their 10-year term.

A new tax incentive for scientific research and innovation is proposed, which will only apply to taxpayers moving to Portugal who earn income from higher education and scientific research or R&D activities.
