InterNations - A Place for Portuguese in Sydney

Olá to all of our Portuguese in Sydney! Are you interested in getting to know fellow Portuguese expats in Sydney? Are you looking for advice from other Portuguese, e.g. which bars in Sydney will broadcast your favorite team’s upcoming match or where in town to go for cozido à Portuguesa?

You are cordially invited to be part of InterNations Sydney. Among the members of our international expat network, there is also a vibrant circle of Portuguese expats, coming from Lisbon, Faro, Porto and all regions of Portugal.

Why Portuguese expats move abroad (& how they like it)

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Portuguese members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.
