Portugal - return and settlement for Portuguese expats

Return to Portugal (Regressar)

More and more Portuguese expats choose to return to Portugal before retirement age, often while continuing their professional activity or launching a new one.

Context

Several support measures are available through the “Regressar” program.

Eligibility conditions for the program

  • Carry out a professional activity in Portugal, either through:
    • a permanent employment contract of more than 12 months,
    • self-employment or the creation of a company,
    • a research grant of at least 12 months;
  • Hold Portuguese nationality;
  • Have been outside Portugal for at least five years;
  • Be compliant with Portuguese tax obligations;
  • Maintain an up-to-date administrative status.

Potential advantages

Participants may benefit from direct financial incentives or a tax regime (depending on eligibility and program conditions).
