Expats Portugal has helped us with our decision to move to Portugal. Premium membership is a great investment and the discounts are an added bonus.

Thank you, Gerry and Astrid for your help and chat. You provided some great snippets of info, pearls of wisdom and also confirmed some of our existing thoughts. It makes moving much less stressful . The forum provides a friendly and supportive environment. A great resource.

As we consider a move to Portugal, we’ve explored many websites, joined a couple of groups and subscribed to websites offering information and assistance. We have to say, our experience with Gerry at Expats Portugal has been both beneficial and informative. We look forward to a possible exploratory trip to Portugal in 2023.

Finding and actually participating in ExpatsPortugal has made our decision to move to Portugal attainable. It can be a little daunting without the knowledge or connections and is definitely something I would not like to do alone from the other side of the planet. It’s a diverse group of great and genuinely helpful people. I am a lot more comfortable now, and with the advice from the other members and participants, as well as the businesses listed in the directory, this journey will be a lot smoother. Thanks for having me.

The forums are beyond helpful and the Migration Tuesdays and Saturday Socials are fabulous.

i wish i had contacted Expats portugal prior to my arrival 4 years ago and upon returning 8 months ago. getting aclimated would have been a breeze. I have recommended this group to numerous of my friends. All the information one needs when immigrating to Portugal with 1 delightful group .

Attempted to study & get visa on my own! Then I joined expatportugal*****. 1st call with Gerry yesterday. I AM VERY IMPRESSED. I highly suggest that you utilize this group!

I am Not Able to “hire” an attorney. – and I am happy about that now!!!! This Morning I woke to emails of those EDUCATED REAL HELPERS!! This blew me away!

I am Confident that my journey to my D7 will be fully supported with this group.

THANK YOU

It is very good to have a single point of contact when you are planning such a life-changing project as moving to another country.

I’m Irish so many of the problems faced by Brits and other non-EU people don’t directly affect me. However many people I meet are not in such a fortunate position as I.

I am in a position to help neighbours and friends who are struggling with the bureaucracy and paperwork. Some of these lovely people have been living in Portugal for years and never got around to legalising themselves. Others are far from tech savvy and have a fear of anything to do with computers, especially internet and email.

So when I get asked for advice and don’t have the answer, I look through your website and usually find the information I need.

My Welcome Consultation was insightful, informative and delightful! Because I have been living in the Algarve for 18months, we covered a variety of topics in the depth I had hoped for. I look forward to reviewing the resources available, as this call significantly added to my knowledge base. Thank you so very much for such a wonderful introduction to Expats Portugal!

We have used quite a few of the businesses in the directory. In addition to discounts the businesses are top notch. This has saved us so much time and prevented costly mistakes. All the members in the forums are happy to help in any way they can. Bravo!

There are so many benefits on the site. I’ve used most of them extensively (referrals, tutorials, forums, connections, etc), saving myself both time and money, and meeting a number of very helpful fellow immigrants. Highly Recommended!
