weirdest?? look up sericaia...

Hi, Very Interesting , your monthly costs are a little more than I was thinking ? We will be touring around later this year and any tips would be much Appreciated Alan

What about taxes? They had a great income tax program (straight 10% for 10 years) for retirees and digital nomads but killed it at the end of 2023. Now, we're stuck with the standard income tax program, and that looked cost prohibitive. Also, it seems the Algarve is getting congested and more expensive. Same for the cities on the eastern coast. The interior has difficult terrain, so it's remote, except perhaps in some places in the north. But that's colder and rainier. But the big problem for a retiree is the taxes. I'm forgetting the specifics, but am I wrong? We seem to be stuck with a nomadic plan, going from country to country after 90 or 180 days, depending on their limit for staying without a visa. Too many places seem too politically unstable, and the taxes must be considered, so. Maybe that will lead us to identify a place we can settle down. We'll see.

Howdy folks, my wife and I are looking for a nice long term rental accommodation for 3 months maximum in your area. Do you offer these services. Thank you

Brits come to Spain and Portugal thinking it is cheap and it is but they forget to leave the Brit life, Beer Fags and Egg and Chips in a Brit bar or the 3's as it's known ''Sun Sea and Sangria''. In Britain you don't pay for yourself but you pay for all the other lazy people 'trapped' on their sofa's with their Staffies'

I actually clicked on you video by accident. I´m so glad I did. What a joy!! 😊Your video was such a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing your story. I am so glad you are well and still alive 😉I´m going to subscribe a follow along. 🙏🏽🥰 All the best to for your new life in Portugal :)

The boats are "moliceiros"

We Portuguese also complain about bureaucracy, but believe me, there are worse options, and I'll give you two examples: in Portugal, signing up for Via Verde, an automatic payment method on highways, takes a maximum of a week, even for foreigners. In France, in addition to having to leave a deposit, it took 2 months. In Italy, where we spend a month every year, it was impossible to obtain it, because the Italian tax number has 15 digits and ours has 9. The system does not accept anything less or more than 15. We got around this obstacle by extending it from France to Italy. Not to mention booking visits to exhibitions and museums online, something that in Portugal can be done at an ATM. Regarding the treatment given to animals, nowadays most people adopt abandoned dogs or cats, giving them living conditions that are often better than those of their caregivers. I pay 40%, but our infrastructures work, no one goes untreated, even undocumented foreigners, at the door of a Health Center or Hospital, our National Health System is free for everyone and is very good, schooling is free and there are social supports that make us have a much lower rate of Homeless People, and a much higher life expectancy than for exemple in the USA.

Caldas da Rainha...Aveiro. Tomar. ..Leiria.

Really enjoying your video content, Aveiro is definitely a place on my list to visit 😊

Thank you for sharing...its really helpful ..Best health and happiness to you both

Another very informative video guys 👍

Nice haircut, Gary!😂

Just discovered your channel. This week was perfect for me in my planning for a retirement in Portugal. I’d be very interested in the land purchase cost as I’d like to buy something small to stay on with my campervan whilst researching where to live eventually.

I understand her face 😂

What day were you in Aveiro? We went on a Tuesday and it was a no parking spot day😂

It’s ironic that you didn’t want to move to the Algarve area because of the “immigrants”. You do know that you are an immigrant in Portugal! Did you mean those “brown and/or black immigrants???

Gary's haircut is awesome!😂 Don't trim it! Love your humor!

Hi. Interesting video. Well done and thanks. 1. I assume that monthly cost is for both of you? I'm alone with a much smaller house, trying to move later this year. 2. Regards internet... I assume I can have Internet only and use my Firestick with vpn? ... therefore, cost less? Probably the only thing I'd miss is English tv... BBC, Itv, Channel 4... Thank you. Jx

Welcome to Portugal! We are in Santiago Da Guarda, Ansiao🇵🇹

Great video, thank you! My husband and I will be in Porto in April. Your recommendations on a hotel and fine dining would be appreciated. Eventually we’d like to move to Portugal. Thank you!

Thank you to make Portugal a better country. Obrigado, sejam felizes.

Coming there early May this year. Gonna look for land around Fundão area. I'm from Norway so i really know about the high cost of living. And i do hate the cold winter snow and ice. Groceries in one market are a lot cheaper as well, compared to the Chain shops. Nice and good informative video, thanks.

You had me until the comparison. The Portugal price has no housing costs, but the UK one has a £2000+ mortgage. If you subtract that, the difference is only a few hundred £’s. Granted, quality of life is likely better and it’s still a sum of money, but it’s much closer than you portray saying “OMG WHAT A HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!”

Great video! Very helpful! Are you comparing food prices in London to Portugal or from another part of the UK? I imagining London has the most expensive groceries. Do you have a sense of how costs compare to where you're living in Portugal to Lisbon? Obrigado!

Thanks again. We’re really enjoying hearing about your adventures.

I live in the US and will be retiring in the next few years. As things get more and more insane in this country I am thinking very seriously of retiring in Portugal and putting all of that behind me for some peace and happiness in my later years. In truth even our medicare insurance for seniors which is supposed to be a real benefit ( only covers 80% ) the monthly premium is almost $200 a month so anywhere else is pretty much cheaper and compared to the actual charges for medical care in this country there really is no comparison. Sounds like everything else is on much, much cheaper as well. It would be so wonderful to live there a be able to jump on a cheap flight to almost anywhere in Europe for a few days adventure on a whim. I would love it.

Subscribed…. Would like to see you house and the local area

Wishing you all the very best in the beautiful land, Portugal

So glad i found this channel. Fun, free spirited couple. Since 2019 ive stopped spending extravagantly too. Stopped drinking & no TV..just studied. Live simple, eat healthy, exercise - long walk in the woods with my dog 🐕 ❤

Hello again, another question, I see that one of you has an EU passport and I assume the other just has a British passport? My wife and I both hold British passports but I also hold a Dutch EU passport. I have received mixed recommendations on whether my British wife should join me via a family reunification visa or whether she should get a D7 visa in her own right. Which way have you gone for and if you have gone the reunification route how long did it take and was it difficult? Thanks Ned.

Also, Fibre Internet access with MEO, including TV package is EUR 39 per month.

Hi guys, I'm enjoying your videos and intend to follow in your footsteps and move to Portugal with my wife and dogs too. You mentioned that you make videos for people who want to sell their homes privately. Where could I find a list of private homes for sale? Would they be on Idealista or somewhere else? Thanks Ned.

Your mobile phone costing is confusing when 2 UK contracts are included in the total. For the avoidance of doubt, unlimited 5g data with calls and text is EUR 15 per month including all taxes. Contact NOS.

Wow 2 coffee ☕ and 2 cakes 8€ Here we had 2 coffees and 2 crossaints (wasn't even warm) with cheese and tomatoes. = 18£. Wasn't even a cute cafe, cafe in the woods. 😅 New sub here 😊thanks

Thank you for sharing..how did you decided which part of Portugal to move too ?.

No body talks about his/her passive income tax on UA-cam, which is the key hurdle stopping people to move to Europe.

thank you

You included mortage in your old UK costs - but don't you pay rent in PT? or you paid cash for the PT property?

What were your “rat race” professions back in UK? 😊

Did you get the NHR there in Portugal? 😊 Cheers! ✌️🫶

Curious to know and don’t want to be neither rude nor nosey nor anything innapropriate but why do you want to work again (that new business you mentioned, also starting this channel). Boredom, money running out, something else? Why don’t just hope on that van and cruise the world 🤘 Cheers!

Well done guys 👍when did you buy that beautiful country house and what was the price? Also I am curious what was the initial idea of the campervan, as you mentioned the van conversion ended up quite differently than originally planned. Cheers! ✌️🫶

I don't have a mortgage here in the UK so my monthly costs are around £1,500 living in Chester in a 4 bed house. A couple of my Portuguese friends and their partners now live in the UK as they were unable to find jobs in Portugal. When they did work, the salaries were less than half what they earn in the UK and although they'd love to go home, financially it's out of the question.

That’s great, I know it can be even better but that’s not bad at all, thank you

Hi guys . Thanks for the channel. We are in the process of finding / buying a property in Portugal. Some ideas for future videos : Registering for tax number , doctors … anything else you need to do regarding living in the country. Buying a house : estate agents , solicitors , notary etc . Any problems you experienced . Good look with the channel Trev

Excellent video.

Really enjoyed hearing your story. Sometimes the UA-cam algorithm brings up a gem, glad I “stumbled” upon your channel. You both are such polished presenters and I look forward to watching your journey unfold. 👏

In 2022 when we tallied the bill to import our 2021 BMW from the USA to Lisbon it was near enough twenty thousand dollars. And that was only an estimate . And it was going to take a minimum of 9 months. Trying to get an agent set up and find someone to do all the paperwork was a bridge too far . Everything is email or text , people weren’t responsive and the few cowboys who did wanted big down payments now. We don’t even know if they’re legitimate companies. We still needed a vehicle for the first year and no one in their right mind is renting us a car past 90 days. We ended up buying an almost new Mini for under 30 thousand . People from the uk have to change their headlights and taillights . Have you priced a headlamp for anything past 2017 especially if it’s LED or even Xenon ? My friend from England in Faro told me he’s been struggling for 2 years to register his car .

Great video. Your back story resonated. Very similar to ours, but it was Brexit that expedited our plans, we wanted to get over before that all made moving more difficult. We have spent a fair bit of time near Mortagua and Santa Comba Dão. It was lovely, but there was too much eucalyptus for us. Covid affected us a lot too, as we were selling our house during the pandemic and took a hit on our sale price. But OMG we love it now and know we made the right decision!
