Find Tips and Advice on Portugal from Chinese Expats

Of course, expat living in Portugal is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Chinese is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Portuguese way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Chinese in Portugal, residing in Lisbon, Porto, Faro and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Chinese in Lisbon or Chinese in Porto.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your native language, discover where to shop for Chinese food or discuss your favorite sports team's latest match, become a member of the Portuguese InterNations Community:

  • Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from China in Portugal.
  • Obtain and share insider tips in our Portugal Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get Peking duck & hot pot in Porto.
  • Search the InterNations Places database for Portugal to get information on institutions from your home country, including the Chinese embassy.

From the Algarve to the Serra da Estrela mountain range, the Douro Valley, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly Chinese expats in Portugal.

Join Our Expat Activities and Mingle with Fellow Chinese in Portugal

Moreover, please feel free to attend our regular expat events and activities in Portugal.
