Who Qualifies
Who Can Benefit from NHR 2.0 (IFICI)?
NHR 2.0 (IFICI) is aimed at highly skilled professionals and specialists contributing to Portugal’s innovation, scientific research, and export-oriented economy. Eligibility depends on your profession, your employer, and whether your activity is performed in Portugal as a tax resident.
This regime is not universal — it’s selective and designed for people whose work brings measurable economic or technological value to the country.
You are likely to qualify if you:
work in one of the recognized high-value professions (IT, engineering, scientific research, industrial design, medicine, higher education);
hold a senior, technical, or specialized role in a Portuguese company;
work for a certified startup, R&D institution, or an exporting company (50%+ revenue from exports);
plan to relocate to Portugal and perform your activity inside the country;
have the required academic qualifications (EQF level 5+).
This category includes software developers, engineers, researchers, CTOs, professors, medical doctors, and founders of innovation-driven companies.
You are unlikely to qualify if you:
work remotely for a foreign employer with no Portuguese entity;
rely primarily on pension income (pensions are not covered by NHR 2.0);
work in non-technical, non-specialized, or general service roles;
perform creative or freelance activities not tied to innovation or science;
cannot meet the residency requirement or employer certification criteria.
Examples: content creators, social media managers, hospitality workers, general freelancers, administrative roles, stylists, artists, sales agents.
