Portugal due-diligence risks: market liquidity, public-debt pressure, banking access

The biggest mistake is treating a country score as personal advice. For Portugal, verify current tax residency rules, capital-gains and dividend treatment, withholding tax, banking onboarding, source-of-funds documentation, brokerage availability, foreign-owner rules, crypto reporting, inheritance or wealth taxes where relevant, sanctions exposure if applicable, and double-tax-treaty effects. If an indicator is unavailable, treat that as a reason to check primary sources before acting.
