Everything we wish we had known before we left. Written by people who have done it, checked against official sources, and kept up to date.
Four stages, from the first hesitation to the day it finally feels like home.
NIF, AFM, social security, bank account, registration certificate. What you can sort out from home, what has to wait until you land, and the Portuguese catch nobody explains.
The same amount does not buy the same life from one city to the next. A line by line comparison with Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam.
What is expected of you, what you will never be asked for, and how long it takes to get by day to day.
Why booking from home costs almost double, and the method that works: something short term to land with, long term once you are there.
The mistakes that get an application dropped in ten seconds, and what a recruiter is really looking for on an international CV.
Week by week: what happens, what we handle for you, and what stays on your plate.
What needs to be sorted before the end of week two, in the order to do it.
The third Sunday is harder than the first day. What works, and what does not.
What works when you speak English all day at work and still want to fit in.
Tools to fill in and tick off, not brochures.
The paperwork, the housing tips, what life over there really costs, and the roles before they go live. Nothing else.
Sign-up opens shortly.
Fifteen minutes on the phone with someone who has been through it. No commitment, and in your own language.
