Working and living in Portugal – Valuable Information from A to Z

Moving to and living in Portugal requires a wealth of up-to-date, trustworthy information on various aspects of Portuguese expat life. Living abroad in Portugal raises a lot of questions such as: ʺHow do I find the best relocation services for moving to Portugal?ʺ, ʺWhat do I need for a Portuguese registration certificate?ʺ, ʺWhich international school in Lisbon should our kids attend?ʺ or, ʺHow do I obtain a work permit for my spouse at the Portuguese municipality in Porto?ʺ

Collecting all that information on working and living in Portugal is quite laborious and time-consuming. Our InterNations Expat Guide for Portugal aims to help you and provides you with reliable info on those topics that matter to expats living in Portugal. The Guide includes information on many different areas ranging from travel and accommodation, to education & children or sports and leisure, up to local infrastructure. Typical questions related to expat life abroad, such as ʺAm I allowed to import all my personal belongings duty-free?ʺ, will no longer remain unanswered.
