The Portugal Move Pack
The free planner tells you which steps apply to you and in which order. The Move Pack is what you take with you to each of them, so you do not get sent home for a missing paper.

What to bring, what to ask at the counter, what to keep. Printable, with tick boxes. |

Every page names the official source it comes from and the date it was checked. General information, not legal or tax advice.
Who it is for
People moving to Portugal who would rather do the paperwork themselves than pay a relocation service, and want to get each appointment right the first time. It covers EU citizens and people coming on D7, D8 and work visas.
Who it is not for
If your case is unusual (a refused visa, a criminal record, a complicated tax position, investment residence), talk to a lawyer or a certified accountant. The pack is general information, not advice for your situation.
