karen9093I just want to thank Betsy for summarizing in one place a number of conversations that have recently been going on in the Portuguese forum. Very helpful!
DanaDHi, I really need to know about any reasonable heath care available for expats over 71 ... I will not be getting to Portugal before than... and probably more like 73.... Would appreciate any insight..
dancebert>B. After obtaining residency permit: options include ... broker-obtained plans such as IMG thru UK-based Stay Sure. Stay Sure currently offers health insurance only as part of travel insurance: www.staysure.co.uk
