Investment in Comporta

Comporta is today an international tourist destination with a high level of opportunities for real estate and tourism development investment. Investors are taking advantage of the benefits Portugal offers, being one of the European countries with the most attractive tax regimes, a current "tourist Mecca", with opportunities for short-term rentals and other tourist-related ventures. It is one of the most sought-after destinations, offering above all an area with exceptional quality of life.

Quality of Life

The Alentejo Coast is a tourist destination where you can enjoy amazing holidays, widely known for its tranquillity, golden sandy beaches bathed by the Atlantic Ocean, and the opportunity to savour its unique and traditional gastronomy. It’s an invitation to explore the coastline, where you can enjoy outdoor activities, including the tasting of Alentejo wines, offering a truly unique experience in full contact with nature.

Golden Visa – Residence Permit for Investment Activity

New legal provisions allow individuals to apply for a residence permit through investment activities, provided they have entered the country legally (e.g. holders of valid Schengen visas or beneficiaries of visa exemptions). This includes capital transfer, job creation, or real estate acquisition. The law, in force since 8 October 2012, allows investors to obtain a Portuguese passport and thereby access to the EU, for those who make real estate investments above €500,000. This has become a key decision factor for foreign investors in Comporta.

Special Tax Regime for Non-Habitual Residents

Portugal offers a favourable tax regime (IRS) designed to attract non-residents, including professionals in high value-added activities, as well as individuals with high net worth or purchasing power. The regime includes:

• The exemption method for avoiding double taxation on foreign-sourced income.

• A special flat tax rate of 20% on labour income earned in Portugal.

• No double taxation for pensions, employment, or self-employment income earned abroad.

This regime is valid for a period of 10 years, providing significant advantages for those relocating.

Prospects for the Future

Recent economic indicators in Portugal show signs of recovery. In the real estate market, there is renewed dynamism, with a general perception that the worst has passed. In some areas, the property market has regained momentum, while others have seen exponential growth, driven by tourism, favourable legislation, and tax incentives for foreign and non-resident investors.

2014 was an exceptional year for the real estate market both in Portugal and across Europe, with significant growth across all sectors. The positive economic trend continued into 2015, boosting confidence among investors, tourists, retailers, businesses, and foreign residents alike. The year was expected to be a historic milestone for the market.
