Over the past few years, Portugal has seen a strong increase in foreigners immigrating due to the attractive cost of living, friendly people and a great quality of life. It is now reported that out of a total population of around 10 million, more than 900,000 expats are living in Portugal.

In 2005, Expats Portugal was started as an English language website and forum to help create a sense of community amongst expats and people who have permanently immigrated to Portugal.

The site has since gone on as a source of valuable information for people relocating to or currently living in Portugal.

You will find an active forum where you can post and answer questions and meet new friends, a Portuguese business directory where you can reassuringly find products and services from companies who speak your language, as well as a Buy, Swap, Sell & Wanted classifieds pages.

In addition to our community members who are already living in Portugal, many of our members are from the United Kingdom, United States of America, Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, South Africa and Australia.
