LISBON, Oct 19 (Reuters) - Foreigners accounted for 11.5 percent of the value of all Portuguese property transactions in 2017, led by French and British buyers, the National Statistics Institute said on Friday.
French pensioners have been one of the biggest groups of foreigners arriving in Portugal in the past few years thanks to special tax exemptions on pension payments they receive from home. The country is also actively courting British people to move here ahead of Brexit as a way to retain European residency.
The United Nations oversees the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
But, just make sure that you have this written "Schengen Estate" on the visa. It means that all Schengen countries are included in the visa. Anyway, once you enter Europe, nobody asks you about your visa or passport.
The figures showed that non-Europeans buying property in order to acquire so-called "golden visas", which have been led by Chinese, had less importance. In 2017 Chinese buyers accounted for 6.3 percent of all transactions by foreigners, Brazilians 6.9 percent and Swiss 5.5 percent.
The data showed that French buyers accounted for 19.6 percent of the value of all purchases by foreign buyers, followed by British with 16.2 percent. The two nationalities were also the top buyers in 2016 If you're ready to check out more on investgoldenvisa review the webpage. .
