How to Move to Portugal
Have you wondered if you were cut out for the expat life?
Worried about the legal and financial requirements?
Been unsure of the cultural differences?
Learn Directly from Portuguese Experts & American Expats
The Living Abroad Experience: Lisbon includes interactive presentations from a curated set of expats and experts, complemented with off site excursions into the neighborhoods and beyond. You will join a community of others seeking a more direct understanding of the joys and challenges of moving to and then living life in a new, European location. All this set in one of the most beautiful, livable, and popular expat cities in the world – Lisbon.
This is an opportunity to understand more deeply all the considerations you should contemplate before making such a life-altering decision. Facebook groups and other online communities are filled with stories and suggestions that are often contradictory or downright wrong, plus this form of research can span years. We offer you a focused time and space to consider your needs and motivations and particular situation within a community of like-minded seekers.
This process will accelerate your research time and give you a clear framework for making a truly informed decision. While we will cover some specifics of moving to Portugal, our approach is meant to give you the tools and knowledge needed to move anywhere in the EU. The challenges of living in a new culture are similar and we’ll cover the differences between these countries.
