Nicole Kidman has applied for residency in Portugal — hinting that she will be looking to spend more time in the sunny country.
The Babygirl actress, 58, submitted her paperwork to the country's immigration agency earlier this week, according to local media outlet SIC Notícias.
Kidman, who was seen stepping out of a private jet in Cascais — a wealthy seaside enclave just outside of Lisbon — has reportedly been browsing for a lavish pad in one of Portugal's most exclusive gated communities, reports The New York Post.
But notably absent from her application was husband Keith Urban, whose name did not appear on any documents.
However, The Post understands that the Blue Ain't Your Colour singer, 57, wasn't mentioned in any paperwork because he was unable to break away from touring at the time.
'Keith was unable to be in Portugal for this appointment as he is currently on tour in the US and it is mandatory for applicants to be physically present in order to apply for the visa,' a source with knowledge of the situation exclusively told The Post.
'He is scheduled to submit his application at a later date that works with his tour schedule. While Nicole and Keith own a home in Portugal, their primary residence will continue to be in Nashville.'
Kidman is said to be eyeing up a property at the celeb-loved, 722-acre CostaTerra Golf and Ocean Club — a plush development about 130km south of Lisbon.
The luxury development is a known favourite among the Hollywood elite, including George Clooney and Paris Hilton, and is also a base for royal family member Princess Eugenie.
It is also where Prince Harry and Meghan were rumoured to have purchased a property last year.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were said to have splashed out on one of 300 soon-to-be constructed residences belonging to the luxe complex, reportedly costing them more than $US4.7 million.
CostaTerra is part of Discovery Land Company, an enterprise founded by Mike Meldman, who, along with George Clooney, invested in the billion-dollar tequila company, Casamigos.
And while Urban didn't file any documents on his part, The Post can confirm that he and the Eyes Wide Shut actress already own a plush pad in Lisbon.
The Post has reached out to Kidman's reps for comment.
Kidman and the country crooner, 57, share daughters Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15.
The foursome is known to divide their time between the US and Australia, which could soon see Europe thrown into the mix.
Since tying the knot in 2006, the duo has accumulated an impressive international real estate portfolio.
Over the past nearly two decades, the couple has purchased two penthouses in the exclusive North Sydney Latitude building, combining the two to make one huge condo.
The pair's first joint purchase came one year after their wedding, when they signed on the dotted line for a 36-acre estate in Franklin, Tennessee, for over $3 million.
The following year, they upgraded to a lavish mansion in Nashville's exclusive Northumberland community, which they added to the growing portfolio that already boasts properties in Manhattan, Sydney, and New South Wales.
