My grandson is 23 y/o & he has been with me since August of 2015, and I am his legal guardian. He is disabled w/autism, high functioning. Would like to find out what kind of VISA, etc. we may need to apply for.

I would appreciate any info/direction for us to pursue. Planning on moving mid-2026.

Thank you,

Dear Roxie,

I am a Portuguese-American citizen with an autistic son, HFA age 28. We lived in North Carolina for almost 17 years and, like you, we wanted a quieter life regarding safety, healthcare, and better values. We live now in Albufeira, Algarve for many reasons, but mostly because this is a better place for our son regarding work and language, as everybody here speaks fluent English.

I work in real estate with a lawyer who has a good experience of Visas. I can refer you to her and I personally think this is the best way to start your relocation process.

In what state are you currently living?

Let me know if you are interested in having an online appointment with her.

Please email me at: c***

Kind Regards,

Carla Gomes
