Portugal: How does the Non-Habitual Resident Tax Scheme work?:

Hi all. Does anyone have any information about Portugal's Non-Habitual Resident Tax Scheme as it relates to US social security, government pension, and IRA distribution? I've read several sites with info about double taxation but am unclear of how retirement income is categorized. If all three of those income sources are taxed in the US (as I imagine they will be...is that correct?) then will they be exempt from Portugal's tax for 10 years? It *seems* cut and dried but I think that may be too good to be true. I've posted on the Expat Online Tax group on Facebook and have not received any replies as of yet. (When I do, I'll share them here.) Your experience and insight are, as always, greatly appreciated (though will not be construed as official financial or tax advice). Cheers...

Portugal: Pre-existing conditions and Pt health insurance:

Hello all. Can anyone shed light on the Portugal health insurance situation and pre-existing conditions? We are expecting to apply for a Type 1 visa in the US and arrive in Lisbon in September. I am a young(ish) retiree and a breast cancer survivor and, as expected, must be surveilled on a regular basis. I also take a daily medication. Will I be able to get private health insurance? Is it going to cost me an arm and a leg? Anyone using the public system for this type of situation? Is that even possible? Any thoughts, ideas, options? So many questions...oy! Any and all information and consideration appreciated. Cheers...
