Portugalist Reviews 26

The staff at Portugalist helped me find a bank that would extend me a loan in Portugal. A separate broker commissioned by the real estate agency failed to get me as good a deal as what Portugalist eased with one simple connection. Grateful.

In a complex and changing environment - good and clear information provided

Always good advise and great webinars for people who want to move to Portugal.

Best source for moving to Portugal! Honest and factual information without all the fluff.

To be honest with you, I’had a good following-up but didn’t try or tested your services yet !?

I am currently conducting a long-term review of several countries for potential retirement relocation. Portugalist answers many of my potential questions and concerns without me even asking them, in a manner consistent with my needs. I rate them top-notch if you wish to get meaningful and relevant information not only about Portugal, but also how different parts of Portugal will fit your needs and desires.

While my husband and I are doing research on moving to Portugal from the US, we came across this site which we have found very helpful. What we like the most, is the practical help they offer without overly fluffy wording that would take a lot longer to read through. I feel like they give you information that is very usable by region. We are going to check things out in person in more in depth and I'm looking forward to putting some of their ideas into action!

Extremely useful information shared at frequent Zoom calls, on a wide range of topics. We have received timely information about visas, pet relocation, real estate, taxes and more. Through Portugalist we have connected with professionals in each of these areas, making a complicated transition less stressful and more achievable. Portugalist’s website is also a great resource with lots of relevant information, which has been very helpful on many occasions.

This website is hands-down the best source of information I have found for anyone considering or planning a move to Portugal. What makes it stand out is its commitment to providing expert, comprehensive, and regularly updated guidance on genuinely complex topics.
They don't just sell the dream; they detail both the wonderful benefits and the "harsh realities" of expat life, which is invaluable. If you want honest, in-depth, and reliable information to make your move a success, this is the first place you should look.

James and Portugulist have been great resources for our move to Lisbon. We have gained a great deal of information regarding critical steps in the process through his webinars and through his contacts with other much needed services relating to our move. I can't recommend him highly enough!

Great book with lots of information on living in Portugal. This is the most up to date items from moving, insurance, weather and many other topics. This book puts watching old out of date videos to shame. You wont be disappointed.

I’ve found Portugalist to be an amazing resource if you’re considering a move to Portugal. All the contacts I’ve gathered through them have been top notch and extremely helpful.

They’ve been doing this for a while and I trust and have appreciated every recommendation James of Portugalist has given me.

Highly recommend them to assist you in your journey.

I went all the information I needed to know very informative and knowledgeable didn’t work out for me, but it’s not their fault

Lots of Webinars about moving to Portugal and the various different visas that are available to you . Also it compared Spain with Portugal . The pros and cons . Available later on you tube .

Always clear and helpful communication. Gives genuine advice and points you in the direction of relevant professionals - definitely recommended!

I’ve been doing a deep dive into choosing between places to investigate for an upcoming recon trip. James gives great feedback and helped me to hone between two communities that l am interested in possibly living.

James book and informative webinars proved very useful in understanding immigrating to Portugal. He provides clearly the steps needed to be done and the documentation required to ensure a smooth transition. He followed up and through with contacts and inquiries I made. I continue to communicate with Sandra Gomes Pinto law office in making the move to Portugal
Thank You James for outstanding Cuatomer support and transparency.

Great up to date, deep and comprehensive insight

Very clear, informative and without an agenda James covers everything you need to know to move towards new Portuguese horizons. He is the Portugalist

James is very knowledgeable himself, but employed Sandra, the attorney, to give us critical info from the expert. While the webinars are clearly business builders for him and Sandra, they provide mostly value based info and only the minimum of polite promotion. I especially appreciate the recorded webinars as I'm often unable to attend in person.
