    If not a city, many places are typically calm, ANYWHERE in the world. Don't expect a foreign country to be what you fantasized it to be like the majority of people do. AND, of course they speak Portuguese!!! It's Portugal, remember? Expect it! A vacation is nothing like living somewhere full time. Reality sets in and the fantasy fades. Every single country has negatives, including Portugal.

What is not easily found in other countries like Portugal is the possibility of eating quality food and drinking affordably in restaurants and street stalls.

    Drop the 'expat' label already. If you're an EEA citizen you have the right to reside across those 30 countries, if you're not then you require a permit which makes you an immigrant, the same way I would be if I went to live in the US, Canada or post-brexit UK. Expat is just an invented marketing term.

      @tamaramadelin4831 on top of that and from what I've heard, Portuguese bureaucracy is equally nerve-wracking with applicants from both developed *and* developing countries, the difference is the latter typically have bigger savings/cash reserves to support them during the inevitable limbo when they are waiting for their permit. So it's all the more reasons to ditch the term 'expat' and rather adopt 'EEA residents' and 'and immigrants' for legal reasons.

      Invented marketing term? Please allow me to teach you: 'Expatriate' originates from the Latin words 'ex' ('outside of') and 'patria' (one's country). An expat is anyone who left their country or was exiled from it. All expats are migrants, but not all migrants are expats

    • @jpnihil5868
      @jpnihil5868 2 місяці тому

      @@Lisbobexpatsassistant we have the term 'expatriado' in Portuguese as well. Legally speaking it has no relevance, as far as the authorities are concerned you are either an EEA + CH citizen, and therefore you have the right to reside across 31 countries, or you are not, in which case you must ask for a permit. It's a significant difference because, as anyone who has lived in Portugal can confirm, PT bureaucracy can drive even the locals insane. Using the term 'expat' rather than 'immigrant' *has* a marketing connotation in our time, as it directs perceptions towards middle/upper middle-class people, preferably from developed countries. I saw exactly the same thing when I lived in Belgium, with the use of 'expats' being channelled towards upper income people, irrespective of their citizenship. The law doesn't care: if you are a citizen from outside the 31 countries' bloc where you have the right of free movement, you are an immigrant.

    10th misconception: Believing PortuGAL is only for women, a modern-day isle of Lesbos from Greek legends, as it were. umm no, there's no country called Portuguy but Portugal is open for all. ;)

    Does anyone know how life is in Sardinia? I want to move to Sardinia and have no idea, if near Cagliari, Olbia, or other city would be best. I live off of my Swiss disability pension and don’t need a job. I want to move near a city with public transportation, a good hospital, grocery stores, market, restaurants and cafes and nice beaches.

      I'm sure the best place for you is Cagliari, you'll find there all you need and it is very easy to move from there. you can reach the airport in 7 minutes by train.

    Stop using stock footage and bot voiceovers blindly; the time you need to edit them might as well be spent shooting and recording original work. You're hurting First Impressions with viewers.

    Expatriate the glorification of a pure and simple emigrant. The British, of course, are expatriates the others are simple emigrants.

      For your information, "patriate" comme from the latin "patria" which means native country. It specifically means someone who left its native country. You can be an emigrant from a region to another, but expatriate is the exact word to say someone who left its native country :)

    Debunking false information: 7:05 - Music played with balalaikas or Flamenco dancing are not portuguese. 8:55 - We certainly don't have czech buses. Let me add a few more misconceptions to your list: 10 - Pastéis de Nata and Pastéis de Belém are not the same. 11 - The Christ the Redeemer statue is not located in Lisbon. 12 - The south bank of the Douro River in front of Porto is not Porto, it's a different city.

      @@Lisbobexpatsassistant Keep an open mind and learn from your own mistakes. Your knowledge about Portugal is so low that you should stop making videos about realities you don't know. The way you mispronounce Portuguese words is embarrassing and try to show locals instead of random people you get from the Net. I don't understand how you can help expats who want to live in Portugal.
