Get “Moving to Portugal Made Simple”

The Updated Guide to Relocating, Retiring, or Starting a New Life in Portugal

So you’re dreaming of sunny mornings, cobblestone streets, and pastéis de nata for breakfast? You’re in good company — and this book is here to help you turn that daydream into an actual plan.

Written by James Cave, founder of Portugalist, Moving to Portugal Made Simple is the friendly, no-nonsense guide thousands of people have used to find their feet in Portugal. And this brand-new 2025 edition is bigger and better than ever — 25% longer than the original, with fresh chapters for retirees, families, and remote workers, plus fully updated guidance on the D7, digital nomad, and golden visa routes.

Inside, you’ll get straight answers to the questions you’re already Googling at midnight: Should I really do this? Which region suits me? Do I need a visa — or a lawyer? What should I watch for when buying a home? And yes — how on earth do I bring the dog?

Whether you’re retiring, working remotely, or simply ready for a fresh start, this is your warm, fact-filled companion for the whole journey.
