Portugal's Golden Visa has consistently stood out as one of Europe's most appealing residency-by-investment programs. For global professionals and investors, it offers a remarkable advantage: the possibility of future Portuguese (EU) citizenship and residency, without demanding full-time relocation to Portugal. Applicants are only required to spend an average of 7 days per year in the country.

In recent years, Portugal has established itself as one of the most attractive destinations for entrepreneurs and international companies, especially in the technology sector. With a combination of tax incentives, affordable cost of living, digital infrastructure, and an innovation-friendly ecosystem, the country stands out as an excellent choice for tech companies. 

Moving to a new country is an adventure filled with excitement and discovery, but it can also present unique challenges, especially for expats navigating the complexities of life in a foreign culture. As an English-speaking therapist based in Lisbon, I understand how the transition to living in Portugal can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, and prioritizing mental health during this journey is essential.
