Ridiculous. This is not a "friendly to migration" policy but a welcome mat to wealthy nomads to move to Portugal and pay less tax than the locals. That's not even being welcoming, it's throwing your own population under the bus.

Most EU countries have no issue with skilled migration when needed. Denmark has a solid migration policy and thus relative consensus on keeping it as it is. Other EU countries have passed policies that ruined their own local population in favor of low skill migration or in this case, high skill migrants hoping to avoid high taxes. This not attracting "the best", it's attracted a lot of amoral individuals who just want to move to Lisbon to party and enjoy the weather.
