It offers plenty of sunshine, good quality beaches (\u2026). If we add to this spectacular golf courses and wonderful landscapes, we have the complete package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another point considered was the D7 visa, which allows people with a fixed income in another country to live in Portugal, offering an advantageous plan for foreign retirees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"1380\" data-src=\"https:\/\/marcela.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/P.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1380 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This ranking further endorses the &#8216;GLOBAL PEACE INDEX&#8217; study, which analyzes the country&#8217;s level of peace and security.
