Moving To Portugal

It is very easy to understand why people from Hull, East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire might consider moving to Portugal.  Portugal has one of the highest number of sunshine hours for a European country and it has property prices that can also be competitive in comparison to other European countries too.

Being situated on the southwest point of Europe, there are no less than seven tourist regions, from Porto and the North of Portugal, with nature, culture and history (not to mention the prized Port wine from the region!), to the capital city of Lisbon which has natural parks and a large variety of golf courses, to the popular Algarve on the far south coast – with everything that a client would want from a sunny European destination such as beaches, water sports, golf courses and local cuisine.

Top Tip When Moving To Portugal

Customs clearance – Portugal is a full member of the European Union, therefore it should only be a copy of your passport that is required when moving.  Please bear in mind however that if you are moving to some of the Islands you may still be asked for your rental agreement or the document for your house purchase.  You would be advised of this prior to the move.
