If you’ve ever considered a move to Portugal, you have probably heard a lot of competing information.

Content creators often use clickbait headlines focusing on extremes to get eyeballs (we would never… 😅). This means that we hear the best (“Portugal is a paradise!”) and the worst (“Expats are ruining the country!”). Sometimes it can be hard to find reliable information to make an informed decision about moving abroad. The truth is usually somewhere in the middle.  

Take the visa application process, for example. 

When we decided to apply for Portugal residence visa, we dove into research—watching videos, reading blogs, and sifting through Facebook groups and online forums. We found helpful information about the different types of visas and the paperwork we needed for the application process. 

But we also wanted someone to tell us what the process was actually like. What should we expect? How long would it take? What pitfalls should we avoid? 

In our latest video, we walk you through the step-by-step process of what it’s really like to apply for a residence visa in Portugal. In the video we cover:

✅ How the visa process is supposed to work

✅ What we experienced (hint: not what we expected!)

✅ Actionable tips to help you navigate the process

If you are thinking about applying for a Portugal residence visa, this video will walk you through the process step-by-step so you can navigate with confidence. 

Happy adventuring!
