Welcome to Portugal Made Easy — your go-to resource for moving to and living in Portugal.
Making the decision to move to a new country is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. At Portugal Made Easy, we’re here to simplify that journey. Whether you’re planning to retire under the Portuguese sun, start a new chapter as a remote worker, or move your family for a better quality of life — we provide clear, practical, and up-to-date information to make your transition smoother.
Why Portugal?
Portugal offers one of the most attractive lifestyles in Europe — stunning coastlines, rich history, delicious food, a welcoming culture, and a relatively low cost of living. Add in great weather, safety, and an increasing number of expat-friendly services, and it’s easy to see why more and more people are choosing Portugal as their new home.
But relocating isn’t just about sunny beaches and custard tarts. It involves visas, bureaucracy, banking, healthcare, housing, and adapting to a new way of life — and that’s where we come in.
What We Do
At Portugal Made Easy, our mission is to help you feel confident and informed as you plan your move and settle into life in Portugal. We specialize in non-tourist, practical content focused on:
- Residency & Visas – D7 Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Golden Visa alternatives, and more.
- Living in Portugal – Cost of living, healthcare, taxes, education, public services, and day-to-day life.
- Moving Logistics – How to open a bank account, get a NIF, rent or buy property, or ship your belongings.
- Working Remotely or Retiring – Tips for digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and retirees seeking a better work-life balance.
- Cultural Integration – Language learning, social norms, and what to expect from Portuguese bureaucracy and daily life.
Our content is designed to be honest, actionable, and regularly updated, so you’re not left guessing.
Who We Are
We’re a group of Portugal-based writers, expats, locals, and relocation enthusiasts who have either made the move ourselves or helped others do it. We’ve been through the paperwork, the housing searches, the cultural shocks — and we know what it’s like to feel unsure about where to begin.
Our goal is to take that stress off your shoulders and provide reliable guidance at every step of your relocation journey.
