Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/event/29102026/ 🤔 D7 Visa research: lots of answers, but do they all fit together?

You’ve worked out what you need for the application. Brilliant. But what happens after that? What do you need to do when you arrive in Portugal? When do renewals come into play? And what might you need to think about now that could matter a few years down the road?

There’s more to the D7 journey than getting the application right. Piecing everything together from different sources isn’t always easy, especially when rules and procedures can change along the way.

In our upcoming session, Gilda Pereira from Ei! Migration Agency joins Expats Portugal to help connect the dots, from those first preparations to residency renewals, permanent residency and the option of applying for Portuguese citizenship.

📅 Thursday 29 October | 7:30pm Lisbon time

expatsportugal.com/event/22102026/ 🏡 “We’ve renovated a house before. How hard can it be?” Famous last words…! 😂

You’ve found the perfect place in Portugal. You can already picture the new kitchen, the gorgeous terrace and those walls you’ll knock through.

Sound familiar? Or are you still dreaming about your project? 😉

🇵🇹 Join the Expats Portugal community this Thursday for practical advice on renovating or building in Portugal, from planning approvals and budgets to finding your way through the process and avoiding costly surprises.

mailchi.mp/expatsportugal/p151026 💶 More euros for your money? Now that's worth a look!

Buying a place in Portugal, planning your move or already enjoying life here? If you're exchanging money into euros, it's worth knowing what's happening in the currency markets before you make your next move

The dollar and pound have been gaining ground against the euro, but what could that mean for your money? And are there ways to make your currency go further, whether you're making one big transfer or exchanging money month after month?

We've got the latest update from our trusted partner, Spartan FX, plus a few things to consider.
👉 mailchi.mp/expatsportugal/p151026

Because the fewer euros you lose unnecessarily along the way, the more you might have left for the good things in life. More of those long lunches in the sunshine, perhaps? We can think of worse ways to spend it. 😉🇵🇹

Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/event/15102026/ 🇵🇹 Did you know that moving to Portugal can affect how inheritance and your will need to be considered?

If you have a will, property or family in another country, there may be more to think about than you realise. And it's much better to ask the right questions now than leave your loved ones with a legal puzzle to solve later!

⚖️ This Thursday 15 October, legal expert Andreia Gonçalves from Reis & Pellicano joins our Expats Portugal Forum LIVE EDITION to discuss international wills, what to consider and how to help ensure your wishes are carried out as intended.

Whether you're planning your move or have lived in Portugal for years, come along, get informed and ask the questions you might not have thought of.

Because sorting out life's paperwork isn't exactly anyone's idea of fun. But getting it right matters!
