We here in the US would like to buy property in Europe or Canada and be able to get access to health coverage in the country where the property will be . In Canada it is a) tough taxes in case you buy property as a foreigner and b) you can access the health coverage only if you are a permanent resident. We would like to consider a situation when you can pay a 'tax' but get access to the healthcare without permanent residentship, though being a property owner..

Hello,
In Portugal, you have the NON-HABITUAL RESIDENTS REGIME where you pay taxes in Portugal and you don't need to be a permanent resident.
Indeed, you proceed with a good insurance for 120 EUR/month. There is no need of buying a property, but you will need proof of address - more details upon request.
Kind regards,
Louis
