Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/event/230426/ There’s a visa option in Portugal that many people overlook, simply because they don’t realise it could apply to them.

The D2 Visa is designed for those who want to work independently, start a business, or bring an existing activity to Portugal. This could be anything from consulting or freelance work to setting up something small and local.

It’s also a route that is increasingly being explored by those looking at how their move to Portugal fits with the country’s newer tax framework, which replaced the former NHR regime, the Incentivo Fiscal à Investigação Científica e Inovação (IFICI).

We’re hosting a live webinar with Ei! Migration Agency to help you understand how this works in practice and whether it could be relevant for your situation.

👉 Join us live on Thursday 23rd April at 7:30pm (Lisbon time) to learn more, ask your own questions, and get clarity on whether this could be the right option for you.

Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/event/090426/ With the Easter weekend just behind us, we hope it brought a chance to get out, explore a little, or spend time with friends and family 🌺

For many, it also means a bit more time on the road, which often brings up questions about how driving in Portugal really works in practice.

With that in mind, we’re hosting a webinar this week to look at the bigger picture of driving in Portugal and how it all fits together.

Driving in Portugal: What Expats Should Know Before Getting on the Road
📅 Thursday 9th April
🕢 19:30 (Lisbon time)

We’ll cover everything from licences and paperwork to buying, importing, costs, and the practical side of driving day to day. The aim is to help you understand how it all works in reality, not just in theory.

There’ll also be time for questions, so you can get clarity on your own situation, wherever you are in the process.

If driving in Portugal is something you’re considering or already navigating, join us! expatsportugal.com/event/090426/

This is what community looks like 🇵🇹

Members who have just arrived in Portugal sharing their experiences…
Others who’ve been here longer offering support and reassurance…

All helping each other along the way, forming connections, and turning those first conversations into real friendships — both online and in person across Portugal.

That’s exactly what we saw in our latest “Just Landed” event — and it’s what makes this community so special.

Seeing people take those steps, settle in, and then support others starting out is something we genuinely love being part of 💞

expatsportugal.com/event/260326/ Since Brexit, visas and residency in Portugal aren’t as straightforward for UK nationals as they once were… 🇵🇹

What used to feel simple is now part of a much more complex system — with delays, stricter requirements, and processes that aren’t always clear.

We’re seeing more and more people caught off guard, especially when it comes to renewals, appointments, and knowing exactly what’s expected.

So we’ve invited our immigration experts from Ei! Migration Agency to help clarify things and answer questions from our community.

If this is something that affects you (or might soon), don't miss our webinar this Thursday 26th March at 7:30pm Lisbon time.

🇵🇹 Moving to or living in Portugal? Here’s a Stress Point Many People Don’t Expect…
When you’re planning, you prepare for the big things — visas, housing, paperwork. But one thing that often catches people off guard is how stressful money transfers can be, especially when you’re moving large amounts for a home or setting up your new life.

In the first episode of our new Expats Series, we chat with Sarah Davie about the real worries people face around money & currency exchange — things like:

...not knowing where your money is during a transfer
...feeling stuck with online systems when you just want to talk to a real person
...the anxiety of making a mistake with big financial decisions
...and more

It’s an honest conversation about a part of relocation that doesn’t get talked about enough, but affects almost everyone.
