Inquiries way down

Post new topic

Is it just my imagination or have the level of inquiries dropped way down since the NHR was effectively abolished?


This forum used to have many new inquiries daily. Now it doesn't seem so.


Perhaps also driven partly by the AIMA fiasco.

It's Christmas time :)

The NHR continues to be available, although it has ended for pensioners.

As for AIMA, things are getting much better now. They've gone from 800 appointments a day to 5000/day. And with 400,000 cases pending, they've already processed half of them. So things are getting better...

Unfortunately so. NHR was really great for pensioners. I had my 10 years of 0% tax and cannot complain. However, without the NHR for pensioners a few countries compete on a level playing field. For an easy second/third passport I still consider Portugal an excellent choice for non-EU citizens.
