Americans in Europe: Portugal remains popular with expats despite restrictions.

Portugal remains one of the most popular destinations for Americans relocating to Europe. Immigrants are attracted by affordable housing, remote work opportunities, investor visa programs and low cost of living.

The number of Americans living in Portugal grew 45 percent in 2021, according to government data. Also significant growth is noticeable in Spain, Greece and Italy.

The real estate prices in these countries are attractive to U.S.

In addition, there is a "golden visa" program, through which foreigners can acquire a residence permit if they invest in certain sectors of the economy.
