This article examines whether all individuals considered residents by domestic law, or benefiting from preferential regimes, qualify for treaty residence under article 4(1) of the OECD Model. Using Portugal as a case study, it concludes that certain domestic criteria may be insufficient to establish treaty residence, while preferential regimes such as the NHR 2.0 can confer it.
