Implying mentally incompetent redditors could get any job in Portugal more advanced than cooking churros
Jump in the discussion.

Portuguese socialist party government cucked Portuguese people with "golden visa" program, basically if you make 75000$ a year (basically nothing to american standards but its a lot here) you get a free visa with no strings attactched (selling citizenship). Because americans have so much money compared to us they come here buy all the houses and now portuguese can only leave their parents home when they are 30 years old and saved enough money.
thats why im leaving this country when I finish college

LOL WUT? Even the most impoverished minimum wagie in America pulls down more than that yearly. I need more info. Does buying one give me untrstricted access to the Schengen Area?

the average portuguese makes about 6.3k dollars yearly (6k euro)
because thats the minimum wage here and about half the population here works for minimum wage since they are employed by the government

Do Portuguese people speak English
I hate the language but if I could be mega rich in Portugal thatβs actually very tempting

Yeah pretty much anyone under 60 years old is fluent in english, thats a big reason why a lot of expats come here. The official number is like 30% of people speak english fluently but since the majority of the population are over 60 years old and will die soon that means the majority of people you will come across are fluent.

This seems too good to be true
If you only need $7500 per annum to buy citizenship and the average income for real Portuguese is a fraction of burger minimum wage, why isnβt the place flooded with Redditors and other low-income burgers?

Early grave and it's boring imo. I've been to Europe a couple times and it genuinely feels like a retirement home. If that's what you like then live your life but everything takes forever because no one is a workaholic like in the US. If you need anything nonstandard it will take at least a month and be done poorly.

Just go to Latin America instead. Youβd get the same treatment and experience but itβs cheaper, possibly nicer weather and thereβs always the potential you might kidnapped or killed by some bandit, narco, guerrilla or soldier (either government or private) to keep life interesting.

Portuguese Golden Visa provides a range of relatively affordable investment options for you to choose from in obtaining your residence permit,
You are only required to spend a minimum of seven days in Portugal per year,
Portugal Golden Visa Program gives you visa-free access to the Schengen states,
You can become a Portuguese citizen within five to six years,
Portugal is a safe, secure, affordable country with a high quality of life, solid infrastructure, superb climate, and good health and education systems.

also its 75k XD i lost a 0 by accident but still not a lot for burger standards, and with that kind of wage you are richer than 90% of portuguese and wil llive like a king unironically
Most of your foreign source income is exempt from taxation for 10 years. If the foreign income is from a country Portugal has a DTA with, then it will not be taxed in Portugal,
If you have a βhigh-added-valueβ profession, you will get generous tax exemptions.
Even if your income is from a Portuguese source, the taxation is still at lower rates for the expats

How well can the Portugese live in Brazil?

I never went to Brazil but I imagine its similar to the situation americans have here, because we make more money we can live more confortably there, even then I wouldnt move though because brazil is very dangerous

There are tons of Portuguese ppl in Brazil as much as how there are tons of Brazilioids in Moortugal, the difference is that the Moors are mainly in Brazil to be sexpats getting their peepee wet, or live in beach cities after retirement, whereas Brazilians in Pooptugal are mainly in there to gain citizenship via-descent or the economic treaties between the two countries, so therefore they can get easier access to elsewhere in Europe.
That, or Braziloids are in Portugal simply because 1. it is Europe and 2. they speak the same language.

Donβt you have like mafiosi and cartels like Italy and Galicia?
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
No, there are not, one of the things that I most loved about Portugal as a Brazilian is that the place is indeed safe, being able to walk on the streets late at night with my phone out felt fricking unreal, as if I was in a simulation or something, since that is unheard of in dangerous countries like Brazil and I grew up with that mentality.

Yes, here even street vendors approaching your car window to sell bootleg shit are viewed with suspicion and fear.

Also unheard of in dangerous cities like Portland and San Francisco. Portugal sounds so much better than any of these shitholes
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Well, much like the US, Brazil is an enormous place with 212 million folx, and each state almost feels like a different country, my country is indeed a shithole but there are some safe places and places that are worse than the others, SΓ£o Paulo is the safest state of all, and contrary to the public perception, Rio de Janeiro doesn't even comes close to being the most violent state despite its infamy for favelas, gangs, shootouts, et al, the most dangerous states are all in the deserted redneck areas of the north, places like SΓ£o Paulo and Minas Gerais feel way safer than Portland and Chicago for sure.

Maybe you'll find this interesting, but I get ads (google ads or w/e) to "come live in Portugal". General gist, they're looking for Americans who work remote to move and live in some village(s) in Portugal. Generically they say CoL is very low (maybe 1500/month) for a very high standard of living (clean and beautiful environment, excellent food, low crime, and otherwise quaint and relaxed living). Seems nice tbh, just feel that you'll perpetually be an unwanted guest in the country.

If you speak Portuguese and integrate people will want friends with you, especially because you are "exotic" but if you dont you will probs have to stick to expat circles

Like pretty much all Poortuguese youth? Portugal has the highest emigration rate in all of Europe, young people can't wait til they finish college to move to France/Switzerland/Luxembourg/the UK, a job that many Brazilians go after (including a relative of mine) is taking care of the elderly, since Portugal is full of them, and there is a large demand for nursing due to the lack of youngsters and tons of oldcels.
Ngl tho having a chat with the old Poortuguese folks is truly very cool, you have everyone from die-hard Salazarists who were born in the Overseas Provinces and think that Portugal is ran by Freemasons, to the Communists who say that the "Socialist" Party is secretly ran by Rightoids and are permanently stuck in 1974, to the 95-year-old grandmas who only consume Brazilian media and can't wait to visit Brazil, though you sadly know that given their physical health, this isn't gonna happen, so you can just describe to them what life in Bostil is like before they kick the bucket, like a lady I was a friend of did, RIP
Edit: Also the most fricked up thing I saw in Portugal that perfectly describes its situation is that I out of nowhere got a funeral home ad on YouTube

yeah
My family has both sides of this, in my fathers side my grandpa was a colonel who fought the MPLA in Angola during the colonial war and on my mother side my grandma was persecuted for being a communist. My great grandma also is still alive (100 years old) and only watches brazilian novelas and the sunday mass on the TV because she is too old to go the church herself.

With how common WFH jobs are, wouldn't that be a good option to explore? Like if you overcome the tragedy of being economically level with Balkans, I'm not sure I'd take having to live next to germoids or getting mugged in some smelly french city over Portugal.
