I guess our definition of wealthy is different. There are bucketloads of 'nomads' under the NHR that have no wealth and just get money from outside PT: I am talking a few 1000 per month. What is wealth for you? The Beckham law wealth is what I would call wealth and sure there are people using nhr to move their wealth from some fund to their person within the 10 years without paying tax. However, unlike the Beckham law, for the NHR you do not need capital to benefit.
I really doubt anyone is applying for NHR status with a few thousand a month, more than likely they would get denied for that. The rules have gotten a lot tighter over the last few years.
I would way that anyone moving to Portugal to apply for NHR status and who is a programmer is wealthy. IE, anyone making over 80k to 100k on the low end.
Ok, but you would be wrong. It is anyone who works in a profession PT wants to attract. And it got more strict but any IT job qualifies and it matters not what the salary is.
