    If you are planning to move to Portugal under the D7 Visa program, you are likely weighing your housing options. The D7 Visa is an excellent choice for retirees and passive income earners seeking a peaceful and fulfilling lifestyle in Portugal. While renting is a viable option, purchasing property offers unmatched benefits, especially for those who want to settle down and make Portugal their permanent home or a cherished second residence.

    Portugal Homes, with its unparalleled expertise and specialised After Sales service, ensures you not only find the perfect property but also receive continuous support to make your move seamless and enjoyable. Let us guide you through why buying property under the D7 Visa is a smart decision and showcase some exclusive real estate options. 

    Why Purchase Property Under the Portugal D7 Visa?

    The D7 Visa offers flexibility for housing—you can rent or buy, as the only requirement for its application is an address in Portugal. However, purchasing property comes with a significant advantage, especially now with the real estate market in Portugal sky rocking in growth year after year:

    • Long-term Stability: Owning property provides a sense of permanence and financial security. It is a long-term investment that appreciates over time.
       

  1. Tax Benefits: Property ownership in Portugal offers potential tax advantages, particularly for those still under Portugal’s Non-Habitual Residency (NHR) program. However, the program was terminated in 2023 for new applicants, it is still on-going for old registrations.
     

  2. Retirement Haven: Portugal is one of Europe’s most sought-after retirement destinations due to the high quality of life established in the country, and owning your home ensures you will always have a place to return to.
     

  3. Second Home Overseas: For those not relocating permanently, purchasing a property gives you a vacation home in one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and also a possible source of income when you are away, thanks to Portugal’s effervescent tourism industry.

  4. Portugal Homes: Your Real Estate Trusted Partner
