Emigrating to Madeira

Popular among holidaymakers, but increasingly also when it comes to a definitive emigration. Halo Removal Logistics has been dealing with people who want to live on Madeira in recent years. However, because Madeira is an island, the rules are sometimes slightly different than for the Portugese vasteland. Just think of a verhuizing over zee instead of land. We are happy to give you some extra information that can give you a head start in your preparation. Are you reading along?

Why Madeira?

The Island of Flowers, the Floating Garden, or the Island of Eternal Spring. These are some of the charming nicknames for this beautiful island, which, not surprisingly, is known for its stunning nature. In particular, retirees are increasingly moving to Madeira, but it’s also becoming an attractive option for entrepreneurs. Here are some reasons to consider relocating:

8 reasons to move to Madeira

  • Fantastic flora and fauna
  • A haven for digital nomads and remote workers. There's even a 'Digital Nomad Village' in Ponta do Sol.
  • The desire to live on an island with a pleasant climate within Europe. Temperatures are rarely extremely high or low.
  • Attractive for freelancers and entrepreneurs. If you start a business, you could benefit from a reduced corporate tax rate of 5%, provided you meet certain criteria.
  • Very safe. There's almost no crime.
  • Peaceful and friendly population
  • The language. Due to the large expat and digital nomad communities, English is widely spoken alongside Portuguese.
  • The healthcare System of Madeira is very strong. The island offers both public hospitals and private clinics.

Moving to Madeira

Emigrating without stress

Moving to an island brings challenges. Any move to another country does. That is no different for Madeira. Although it belongs to Portugal and thus to the EU, certain bureaucratic matters often proceed more slowly and differently than you are used to in the Netherlands. We want nothing more than for you to move carefree and are happy to share our experiences with you. From a temporary storage of furniture up to arranging all the papierwerk. We are ready for you. From beginning to end, from door to door.

To take into account...

  • Madeira has special tax rules. Although it is part of the Republic of Portugal, it has a unique status. Your benefit here is that you do not have to pay the 21% VAT on moving and transport costs.
  • Madeira is becoming an increasingly attractive and suitable island for investors. In recent years, many countries have started to close their doors to foreign investors and have stopped issuing Golden Visas. However, Madeira has not yet implemented this, making it an appealing option for those looking to invest.
