USA to Portugal: Start Early!
View/Add Comments (0 Comments) | Add to Favorites (3 Favorites)
It isn't easy to find accurate information for US citizens moving to or staying beyond 90 days in Portugal, as most information is written for UK or EU citizens for whom the process is distinctly different. In particular, it's important to start the process from the United States. It can take from 6 weeks to a few months to complete, depending on how zealous you are. We started the process from Portugal, costing a couple thousand in legal fees and extensive 'red tape'. Review information on Expat Exchange from US citizens who've done it right, and note that application requirements to each European country differ slightly from another country's requirements.
