 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Portugalist website and its wealth of information make navigating the process of moving to Portugal far more approachable. The information is presented in simple, creative and enjoyable ways. The site's founder, James, is also incredibly resourceful and well-connected with others in Portugal. We learned of the website/company after a friend gifted us James' book "Moving to Portugal Made Simple."  For anyone wanting to explore the idea of relocating to Portugal, this site provides a one-stop shop for virtually everything you need to know!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have found the Portugalist and James very good for reliable information regarding moving to Portugal. He also has very good contacts who can provide additional information to help you in your decision making. Due to circumstances, we are unable to do anything at this time, but if/when we decide to move, James and the Portugalist will be the ones we will use.

The webinars hosted by James Cave are informative and insightful, packed with interesting and knowledgeable reps in a variety of fields, and his book “Moving to Portugal made Simple” is a must read for any wannabe expat or even current expat.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Being a subscriber to the Portugalist I was able to get my NIF thru them via anchorless. James gives updates via webinars with regards to relocating to Portugal and requirements on how the different visa works whether it's D7, Golden Visa, Nomad visa, etc. Also he gives pointers on how the process works. I'm not ready to retire to Portugal yet but will sure reach out to him when I need help with the application process.

Common questions

Quick answers before you book

Is it really free?

Yes — completely. No credit card, no trial, no upsell at the end.

What if I’m not ready to move yet?

That’s fine — most people we talk to are 6-18 months out. The earlier you start, the more time you have to do things the smart way (e.g. setting up tax residency before selling your home). Book the call even if you’re early-stage.

Can I bring my partner / family member on the call?

Absolutely. Most calls have at least two people on them.

Do you only help people from the US, UK or Canada?

No. Those are our biggest reader groups, but we help people from anywhere — including Australians, South Africans, Brazilians, and EU citizens. The visa landscape is different for each, and we’ll talk through your specific case.

What if I haven’t done any research yet?

Totally fine. Many people come to the call having read one or two articles and feeling overwhelmed. We’ll help you sort the signal from the noise. If you want a starting point, our visa overview is a good 10-minute read.

How do you take the call — Zoom or phone?

Whichever you prefer. We default to Zoom but happily do phone, WhatsApp, Google Meet — whatever works for you.
