1What it is
The Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime gave new residents reduced tax on certain income for ten years. It closed to most new applicants from 2024, but people already registered keep their benefits for the rest of their ten-year period, and some transitional cases may still apply. We help NHR holders keep their status in order and check whether a transitional rule applies to you.
2Who needs it
- People already registered as NHR
- People who may qualify under the transitional rules

5Good to know
The situation today
The original NHR regime stopped accepting most new applicants from 2024. People already registered keep their status for the remaining years of their ten-year period, and a small number of transitional cases could still apply.
If you already have NHR
Your benefits depend on filing your IRS tax return correctly each year, including foreign income. Mistakes can cost you part of the benefit.
If you are new to Portugal
The replacement regime is IFICI, often called NHR 2.0. It is aimed at specific professions and activities, with its own deadlines.

6Frequently asked questions
Can I still apply for NHR?
Only in limited transitional cases. Most new residents should look at the IFICI regime (NHR 2.0) instead. We check which applies to you.
