Here are just a few reasons among many to choose Portugal for your future retirement:

• Only two hours from France.
• With three international airports: Porto, Lisbon and Faro for the Algarve region.

Highly developed airlines to European capitals. For example in Faro, the capital of the Algarve, there are more than 10 daily connections to the major cities of the United Kingdom, thanks to tourism.

In view of the growing number of English-speakers settling in Portugal, more than 12,000 in 2014 alone, the strengthening of air links to north of Europe has already been programmed by several companies.

• A well-made road infrastructure. Efficient and inexpensive internal links.
• Cost of living 35% lower, OECD study.

For example: the minimum salary in Portugal is € 635 / month. With an average pension for a pensioner from the northern European countries, you will have a high standard of living in Portugal. An expatriation in Portugal makes it possible to compensate for the loss of income related to the retirement.

• Full tax exemption for ten years from the first installation. The main condition to benefit from this advantageous regime is to reside at least 6 months per year in Portugal.

Please note, however, that this device is not valid for public service pensions.

• In Portugal no ISF tax (the confiscatory tax of France).
• The lowest crime rate in Europe, no more feeling of insecurity that many of us experience in France.
• Real estate with attractive prices: for the price of an apartment on the French Riviera, you will have the opportunity to offer yourself a comfortable villa by the sea.
• An already very large French-speaking community (around 40,000 French at the start of 2015).
• The culture in Portugal is not much different from the rest of Europe. Your change of scenery will not be very important. The country is in the euro zone, no exchange rate risk.
