Hello everyone,

I hope you’re doing well and feeling at home in Portugal, or finding the support you need as you plan your move.

At Expat.com, we’re always looking for new ways to be closer to our community and provide practical help. That’s why our editorial team is excited to share our latest release: the Living in Portugal Guide!

This new guide is packed with useful information about life in Portugal, from the safest neighborhoods and the Portuguese job market to leisure activities and day-to-day tips for settling in.

Whether you’re just starting your expatriation journey or already living in Portugal, you’ll find everything you need in one place.

We’ve also put together dedicated city guides for:

Lisbon

Porto

Your feedback means a lot to us. Feel free to leave a comment or send me a private message if you have suggestions, notice sections that could use more detail, or would like to see new topics covered.

Warm regards,

Veedushi

A lot of the replies on some of the above links are 10 years old. I would love to see something current!

Hello and welcome !

While the guide is up to date, members tend to participate on the forum section to discuss about current topics.

I suggest that you have a look at recent threads posted on the forum : https://www.expat.com/en/forum/europe/portugal/

If you have any questions, feel free to open a new thread on the Portugal forum, members will be glad to help.

All the best

If you start a new topic with your questions, as @Bhavna says, then you will get up-to-date responses- did you have any particular questions in mind?

There are a lot of current topics being discussed, such as visas, driving licenses, overstaying visas, citizenship, working permits, where to live, and learning the language. Our resident Expert @JohnnyPT will be glad to help, as well as the other members who have good knowledge.
