Short answer
The old NHR (Non-Habitual Resident) regime is no longer open to new applicants: it was replaced by a narrower regime (IFICI), aimed at specific professional and research activities. The Azores follow the national tax framework, with some regional adjustments. Whether any special regime applies to you depends on your situation, so confirm with the Portuguese Tax Authority or a tax advisor before moving.
