visa please = Visa bitte
The announcement came two days after thousands of people took to the streets of Lisbon and other cities across Portugal to protest against soaring rents and house prices stoked by growing gentrification and record tourism.
Other benefits of the scheme - known as Non-Habitual Resident - include tax exemptions on almost all foreign income if taxed in the country of origin and a 10% flat tax rate on pensions from a foreign source.
Those certainly weren't the only organizational nightmares to strike the show; organizers were said to be dealing with a string of disasters thanks to incomprehensible bureaucracy and managerial incompetence that's endemic in China - however it is said that things have been made all the more complicated for staffers thanks to fears that they are being spied on.

The Victoria's Secret show has been steeped in controversy this year, amid reports that several models have been denied entry to China where the show is taking place, and angry locals protesting the event.
Government data show more than 50% of workers earned less than 1,000 euros ($1,046) per month last year, and a 65% increase in Lisbon rents since the start of the tourism boom in 2015 has made apartments unaffordable for many.
LISBON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Tax breaks for foreign residents in Portugal are "no longer justified", Prime Minister Antonio Costa said, promising to close the scheme for new applicants in 2024 after it stoked housing prices in one of western Europe's poorest nations.
For those in the country with a Virtual Private Network - VPN - that can circumvent online spying, the possibility of the Chinese government reading emails and taking action against those it sees as troublemakers is very real.
However, while there were a host of famous faces seen prepping for the hotly-anticipated event, there were several stars missing from the action, including model Gigi Hadid, who was reportedly denied a visa by the Chinese government after a video surfaced of her earlier this year in which she appeared to 'mock Asian people'.
Critics say measures announced by the government earlier this year that include curbs on Airbnb short-term rentals and changes to the country's golden visa scheme were not enough to tame the crisis, which has also been exacerbated by a chronic shortage of affordable housing.
Launched in 2009, the scheme allows people who become residents by spending more than 183 days a year in the country to benefit from a special 20% tax rate on Portuguese-sourced income derived from "high value-added activities", such as doctors and university teachers.
However, the Brazilian star has made it known she doesn't want to be in the fashion business 'forever', and she felt it was inevitable she would have to stop modelling for Victoria's Secret later down the line.
Despite coming face to face with three of his former 'exes' - Sara Sampio, 26, Georgia Fowler, 25, and Nadine Leopold, 23 - the former One Direction star cut a stylish figure as he provided entertainment for the annual catwalk extravaganza.
Glam: Also turning heads on the runway was Adriana Lima - a veteran Angel having walked the runway since 1999 and being not only their longest-running model, but named 'the most valuable Victoria's Secret Angel' earlier this year
In the weeks prior, Harry's close friend Nick Grimshaw fuelled speculation about the hot new romance after he hooked him up to a heart monitor and showed him a sizzling snap of Camille a few weeks prior.
In recent months, she wrote on Instagram: 'Anacã is incredible - I look at him and I can't believe he's mine. As a young girl, I didn't ask to hold other people's babies but I definitely felt nature's call to be a mummy and I'm just loving it. The first few months devoting my time to him has been really important.'
With her status hinted at by her incredible set of wings, the Brazilian bombshell, 36, wowed in a teal bra and knickers set that offset the layers of multicoloured necklaces and bracelets she donned whilst sashaying down the runway.
Despite being without her sister, Gigi for the event - who pulled out of the event last week amid claims she has been banned from entering China - Bella looked in high spirits as she strutted her stuff down the runway.
