Where should I setup a bank account in Sagres?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Sagres what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Sagres should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, the cost of living in Sagres is relatively low compared to other European destinations, but it's still important to have a solid financial plan in place. The official language is Portuguese, so learning the language can be beneficial, although English is widely spoken in tourist areas. Healthcare in Portugal is of a high standard, with both public and private options available. Expats are eligible for public healthcare if they are residents and contribute to social security. Private health insurance is also recommended for more comprehensive coverage. The climate in Sagres is mild, with warm summers and cool, wet winters. The town is known for its beautiful beaches and outdoor activities, making it a great place for active retirees. Portugal has a favorable tax regime for foreign retirees, known as the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) scheme. This offers tax exemptions on foreign income for a period of ten years. However, it's important to seek professional advice to understand the implications and process of applying for NHR status. Portugal is generally safe and welcoming to foreigners, but like anywhere, it's important to be aware of your surroundings and take basic safety precautions. Finally, it's important to understand the process of obtaining residency in Portugal. This typically involves proving you have sufficient income to support yourself, showing you have health insurance, and passing a background check. It's recommended to consult with a legal professional to navigate this process," wrote a member who made the move to Sagres, Portugal.
