The April 2024 update to Portugal's Nationality Regulation aligned administrative procedures with Law 1/2024, clarifying documentation requirements and residence time counting.
Law 1/2024 clarifies that residence time for Portuguese citizenship now counts from the date of initial residence permit application submission, not just from card issuance, addressing administrative delays.
Decree-Law 18/2024 raised Portugal's minimum wage to EUR 820 per month, proportionally increasing income thresholds for visa categories like D7, digital nomad and family reunification.
The 2024 State Budget updated AIMI (Additional Municipal Property Tax) calculation brackets and strengthened reporting for high-value residential property owners.
The 2024 State Budget Law closed Portugal's Non-Habitual Resident tax regime to most new tax residents from 1 January 2024, ending one of the country's flagship expatriate attraction tools.
The 2024 State Budget included a tax regularisation programme allowing taxpayers to settle outstanding obligations with reduced penalties, offering expatriates a chance to correct historical reporting gaps.
