We here in the US would like to buy property in Europe聽聽or Canada and聽 be able to聽 get access to health coverage in the country聽 where the property will be . In Canada it聽 is聽 a) tough taxes in case you buy property as a foreigner and b)聽 you can access the health coverage only if you are a permanent resident. We would like to consider a situation when聽 you can聽 pay a 'tax' but聽 get access to the healthcare without permanent residentship,聽 though聽 being a property owner..

Hello,

In Portugal, you have the NON-HABITUAL RESIDENTS REGIME where you pay taxes in Portugal and you don't need to be a permanent resident.

Indeed, you proceed with a good insurance for 120 EUR/month. There is no need of buying a property, but you will need proof of address - more details upon request.

Kind regards,
Louis
