Happy Birthday Expats Portugal!! I love the work you guys are doing. I’m still a few years from retiring and moving to Portugal but when that day comes I will be better prepared thanks to you.

All the best. Here’s to 18 more years!

Really practical and useful information about the nuts and bolts of making the move. Ongoing webinars with up to the minute information. Whenever I have a question regarding my situation there is either a video already addressing the subject on the website or there is an upcoming meeting with the info I need. I am saving the cost of membership many times over by getting discounts with the businesses associated with Expats Portugal – can you tell I’m happy? Well worth every penny.

As we begin our move we are so grateful to have found such a fantastic group to help and support us through this process. The webinars include a wealth of information and contacts with people who have expertise in all the areas we need help with. Finding ExpatsPortugal has really taken a lot of work and stress off our shoulders. It has been worth every penny.

Hi everyone,

I am Zariah, I am a New Member of Expats Portugal & I am in the Process of relocating to Portimão from Texas. I am so Pleased to say that Expats Portugal has been a very helpful & reliable Resource thought-out my journey of preparing for my move, therefore I was so exciting about speaking to Gerry to ask my questions & get even more information from the Team, in which I watch weekly them on YouTube & the Live Broadcast always has great information. Our conversation was very enlighting, informative & Fun. He was able to answer most of our questions & for those that he could not, he had a Resource or person on the Team that could, so I am very happy that I signed up for the Premium Membership. I can see that I will be using all of the Benefits that it has to offer when I get there in the Future.

Thank you, Gerry Lawler & the rest of the Team for all of you help thus far & I look forward to our continued relationship & working together!

Have a Great rest of your day Guys….

Sincerely

Zariah

I really was helped by this webinar to see the many ways to guard your finances when exchanging USD for euros, as well as buying a property in Portugal. Necessary to see how that can be impacted your investments.

I want to emphasize the amazing weekly webinars by qualified and professional companies offering their expat services, and the administrators of Expat Portugal too; in doing an equally amazing job of coordinating a friendly expat community space for learning about moving to Portugal, all the steps required, who to go to for help, a forum with informative information by fellow expats asking and wondering the same things on how to make this happen.

I have checked out other expat groups online, including FB expat groups, and most of them do not have the same degree of reliable answers to most of my questions that I have found on Expat Portugal’s website, and YouTube videos of prior webinars on a variety of subjects.

As well, their affordable premium yearly membership is well worth the price paid, as we were able to use our premium membership discount with Ei! and Reis & Pellicano law offices, to reimburse this yearly cost. We have used Ei! for our NIFs and will be soon for our D7 processing, and after for our SEF appointments. Daniel Reis’s firm helped us with our CPCV promissory contract for our new house purchase, and final negotiations with the seller agent, assuring a legal contract according to Portuguese law, which protected our interests, and they will complete the process when we finalize the transfer of the deed in a few months time.

In addition, we are making friends that are fellow expats from all over the world, making this same leap of starting a new life in Portugal. They offer lots of helpful insight, similar questions and answers from their experience; and overall, this adds to the sense of a growing community of support, that will continue as we become settled in our community, and in connecting with them once we are in Portugal.

So, Thank you, Expat Portugal administrators, for growing this community of expats, and especially vetting services by companies helping everyone move to Portugal, in a way that lets us ask questions during the webinars on a chat, and later live. They offer a free selection of information on the website, an affordable premium membership to assure ability to view live zoom webinars if limited in size; and a very informative website, with an active and updated forum, several weekly webinars for ongoing updates, with recorded portions of these webinars on YouTube for later review, or for those that may miss an event, or for anyone wanting to learn more about what is going on in their quest of moving to Portugal.

Expat Portugal has been invaluable towards giving us the confidence for our making this immense international move at this time of our lives, as seniors, and knowing that we can rely on what we are learning about everything required to comply with SEF, and many other aspects of learning about our future life in Portugal.

We look forward to a continuing connection with Expat Portugal online, and in person, with meetups and events with fellow expats once we land in Portugal.

Stunning support from entire staff on all matters concerning emigrating to Portugal. First class .

Invaluable help and informational the while wonderfully entertaining.

Thank you all

I found Daniel Reis (Reis/Pellicano) through Expats Portugal and am so happy with the help he and his team have given me. From the procuration of the NIF through helping me in the purchase of an apartment, everything has been totally First Class. I could not be happier and recommend them highly! Thanks, Daniel, thanks Andreia, and thanks Expats Portugal for helping me find them!

Expats Portugal and the Expats Dream Team is the absolute best and first investment to make in achieving your dream to move to Portugal. So much support, advice and help is invaluable – takes all the stress out of the whole process. It is also a great way to make new friends before moving to Portugal. See you at end of 2023 somewhere in Portugal 🙂

I wanted to thank everyone that has helped us get to Portugal.

Mariane and Gilda from EI has helped make our legal arrival from Canada as smooth as possible from day one.

Rafaela and Dr Michael has taken such good care of our health transition- Rafaela is an absolute angel. We will definitely be referring anyone we can to Serenity.

Helena and Nuno from Winsurance has helped us from day one with our health insurance and just recently our new auto insurance. In fact, Helena just helped me get through registering with Advance Care- I was having problems getting it to work and Helena said “ let’s keep talking till we get this fixed” she is wonderful.

Our next hurdle will be with getting our goods from Canada to Lagos-but Luis and his team have been hired and hopefully it will be as smooth as everyone else.

Everyone and I mean everyone has been so kind and generous. We are grateful for every day we get to spend in this beautiful country.

Thank you everyone for everything that you do.
