During the session, you can ask questions and hear updates on: • Visas, residency, and immigration pathways • Legal and nationality matters • Healthcare and health insurance • Money, tax considerations, and financial planning • Property and practical ownership questions • Everyday lifestyle realities of living in Portugal
Alongside expert Q&A, the Town Hall also covers what’s currently happening in Portugal — including policy changes, administrative updates, and real-world developments that can affect plans and decisions.

expatsportugal.com/event/220125/ - Don’t miss expert advice on Portuguese citizenship in 2026! 🇵🇹 This Thursday, 22 January | 7:30 PM Lisbon Time
It’s easy to feel confused by all the news, speculation, and changing information about Portuguese citizenship. What changes actually affect you? What’s still under discussion? How can you separate fact from rumours?
In this live webinar, you’ll have the chance to get answers to your personal questions from a legal expert in Portuguese citizenship and gain clarity on topics including: 🔵 The difference between residency and citizenship 🔵 What rules are currently in force, and what’s still under discussion 🔵 How proposed changes and timelines could affect you 🔵 Cut through misinformation and plan confidently 🔵 And much more, including practical guidance relevant to your situation
Our community member James shares a funny story about how mispronouncing a common word can lead to an "indecent" outcome, highlighting the nuances of European Portuguese. This comedy moment offers a lighthearted take on the importance of accurate pronunciation and accent training, proving that sometimes, even basic vocabulary can be a linguistic minefield!
Whether you’re moving to Portugal, living here already, or just learning Portuguese online, mastering everyday words like this can make a real difference. Especially when you're learning together in a supportive community.
They’re the small, everyday moments. The things that only make sense once you’re here. The cultural quirks, the emotional shifts, and the realities that don’t show up on relocation checklists.
In this article, Carl Munson — the voice behind Good Morning Portugal, a columnist for Portugal Resident, and host of our community webinars — shares the kinds of insights you only gain by living in Portugal.
The article is open for everyone to read. For Premium Members, it can also spark relaxed, wide-ranging conversations in our Premium Members’ Lounge, alongside many other aspects of life in Portugal.

Learning Portuguese can be challenging, awkward, and sometimes unintentionally hilarious — but it’s also one of the most rewarding parts of life in Portugal. Those small efforts often lead to smiles, patience, shared laughs, and real connection.
In our upcoming webinar Learning Portuguese in Real Life: Language, Culture & Lived Experience, Filomena and members of our community will share honest stories of learning Portuguese — the mix-ups, the small wins, and the moments where trying really made a difference.
If you’re learning Portuguese (or thinking about starting), this session is for you. Expect reassurance, humour, and the reminder that you don’t have to do it alone.
👉 Join us live this Thursday 15th of January, and be part of the conversation.
This session covered a wide range of practical topics that many people moving to or living in Portugal are dealing with right now — especially around travel, residency, insurance, and longer-term planning.
Some of the areas discussed included: • Recent updates affecting travel and residency processes • When and why “travel comfort letters” may be relevant • Insurance considerations for expats at different stages of the move • Visa-related insights and planning questions • Mortgages, language requirements, and everyday admin realities • Social security considerations and upcoming elections
