A great guide if you are thinking of a move

It covers everything—from the basics like visa requirements and healthcare to the fun parts like finding your dream home and diving into the local culture.

What really stands out is how well-researched and detailed it is. You can tell the authors really know their stuff, and they break things down in a way that’s easy to follow, even if you’re totally new to the idea of relocating abroad. I loved how they touch on practical concerns like managing your finances and navigating the Portuguese healthcare system, but they also make room to talk about the joys of living in Portugal—like the food, the stunning landscapes, and how to really immerse yourself in the local communities.

The narrator does a great job of making you feel like you're having a friendly chat about your exciting new adventure. It’s not overwhelming or overly technical, just a really solid, step-by-step guide to making your retirement dreams in Portugal come true.

If you’re serious about retiring to Portugal, or even just curious, I’d highly recommend giving this a listen!

Great Guide to Relocate to Portugal!

I have been to Portugal a few times on my European journeys. Portugal is often overshadowed by other European countries and and it is a hidden gem. This book is a great guide to help navigate your relocation to Portugal from obtaining a visa to fitting in with the local communities and everything in-between.
