Income requirement is 4x Portuguese minimum wage (EUR 920 in 2026 = EUR 3,680/mo). IFICI (NHR 2.0) replaced original NHR regime; exempts all foreign-sourced income and applies 20% flat rate on qualifying Portuguese-sourced income. Must reside 183 days/year in Portugal. Proposed nationality law changes may increase citizenship timeline to 10 years.
