too frequent tax law changes for foreign income
I was told that income from research and science from universities that is classified as foreign income now is tax free but nobody knows how long this law will actually valid – so I am not moving there. Also, to actually benefit from this law, you need to preregister and get the tax exemption confirmed by the government via a Portuguese accountant, but nobody knows how long the approval process will take. Need more consistency and clarity, tax law sounds like a random thing.

Yes, tax laws in Portugal change more often than its suppose too.
The different steps to get a tax exemption is often many, and are the barrier to block all the people to get them and only the more desperate, who are wiling to go through all the steps to get it.
Thats also why theres are a lot of people, who get them, and then became almost professional of that kind of exemptions, instead of being professionals of a regular trade or labour skill.
That what they have become good at.
