wonderful information especially with me coming for three months to buy property in December to March. I won't apply for visa until the following Dec 2024. Needing to stay updated on changes of D7 is important. THANK YOU EVERYONE. GIna in Upstate NY USA moving to Portugal Cheers
Good to know ahead of time is how the zip codes work: List of Portugal postcode regions and their number identifier 1XXX-XXX - Greater Lisbon region 2XXX-XXX - Setúbal city, Leiria and Santarém regions 3XXX-XXX - Coimbra, Aveiro and Viseu regions 4XXX-XXX - Porto, Braga and Viana do Castelo regions 5XXX-XXX - Vila Real and Bragança regions 6XXX-XXX - Guarda and Castelo Branco 7XXX-XXX - Setúbal, Portalegre, Évora and Beja regions 8XXX-XXX - Algarve 9XXX-XXX - The islands of Portugal’s Azores archipelago and Madeira (not shown)
We are moving in January 2024 and we are over prepared - been visiting and getting info since 2019, have a plan-hope executions will go flawless (coming on EU citizenship so hoping for easier transition) - counting on EI and the rest of the Dream Team for help
I was thinking 'Ugly American' --- and then it was said around the 10 minute mark. Will Portugal be overrun by the very thing I, in the U.S., want to leave behind?
Yep, our worry too! Sorry but I have no desire to be around (ex pats) immigrants from my own country when the US is burning to the ground. I don't trust they're not extreme like so many Americans are
I have read about horror stories of expats bought property in a small village and things started happe ing, they didnt know why, things exculated, to the extent that the expat family finally decided to leave because the villiagers made it clear that foreigners were not welcome. The expat family contacted police, they did nothing and even started harassing the family by stopping them repeatedly. Theexpat family started to worry about their safety and that of children. Farm animals were poisoned, property, car, etc vandalized, Apparently every foreigner who bought in that area were run out of the area prior to this family buying there. Does expat Portugal have any advice for ppl in these situations?
when are property prices going to return to normal? Right now there is no comparison of what you get comparing apples to apples when you look at other countries in Europe. A water view same size property in southern Italy in a same size town or city is 100K-150K Euro less than anywhere in Portugal except for out in the middle of nowhere in central Portugal. What gives?
The idea that you give priority to the elderly or those with children is not unique to Portugal. Perhaps American is the unusual country in terms of for caring or lack of for others.

Wow I do not believe people do not understand basic manners. LOL Start a conversation with Hello and say thank you should be normal in every country.
