: Michael Maxwell, you are South African who relocated to Portugal recently. Why Lisbon?
Michael Maxwell: We have always loved Portugal from a lifestyle point of view. It's a country in which I'm invested emotionally as well as financially. I saw a great deal of potential in terms of the growth in Portugal, a lot of which was driven by the Non-Habitual Resident’s Programme, or the Golden Visa Programme, and generally people were moving here for the lifestyle and other reasons. The day we came here, we started looking around and got a better feel for the place, my wife started to like it as much as I did, and here we are.
