I loved Lisbon and have contemplated moving to Portugal. Don't know how challenging it is for an American to migrate there. Have romantic notions of a garden+bakery. :)

Portugal is a really nice country but I don't know how sustainable is to have this dual tax system for nationals and foreigners. Nationals are being screwed by this, and I know for sure that If I was Portuguese I'll be pretty angry.

You mean the NHR? That’s only for 10 years though. Many countries have a similar system (including Spain [0]), either for personal or your company or both.

The last sentence states:

>"But let's not get ahead of ourselves, as the draft bill still has to pass through Congress unscathed."

Do you know if this draft bill ended up passing? I wasn't able to find much about it's current status.

There is a golden visa ; it has become somewhat stricter basically you can buy a house/property over a certain value (think 350k euros) and that gets you a visa. Sell it after x years when you get a passport.
