Expats Portugal

www.spartanfx.co.uk/money-guide-signup.php?sfxtrac… If you’re managing money between countries, it’s often the small details that end up making the biggest difference over time.

Timing. Transfer methods. Exchange rates. Banking processes that don’t always work the way people expect when living or moving abroad.

We recently shared a webinar looking at the practical side of international money transfers, common pitfalls, and the kinds of issues people often only discover once they’re already dealing with them.

For anyone planning ahead or already sending money between countries, it’s a useful conversation to watch back.

Expats Portugal

What a weekend ❤️ expatsportugal.com/photo-galleries/

Over 55 members joined us in Monsaraz for another unforgettable community meet-up, spending the weekend exploring one of Portugal’s most beautiful regions together.

From lakeside drinks and long dinners to stargazing beneath some of Europe’s clearest skies, the weekend was filled with laughter, conversation, new friendships, and memorable moments.

These meet-ups are about so much more than simply visiting places. They’re about experiencing Portugal together, discovering its culture and hidden corners, and helping people feel more connected to the country and to each other.

Even with the weather changing some of our plans, the atmosphere throughout the weekend was fantastic and reminded us exactly why these gatherings mean so much to so many people.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the weekend so special.

You can see more photos and highlights from the weekend in our gallery: expatsportugal.com/photo-galleries/

And if you’d like to join us for the next adventure, we’ll be heading to the Douro in July 🍷

Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/event/280526/ 🇵🇹 With major news and ongoing discussion around Portuguese citizenship law, there's confusion and uncertainty about what these updates may actually mean for people’s plans in Portugal.

Some are also mixing up residency and citizenship and worrying that changes in one may affect the other. For some, residency is the main priority, while citizenship may simply be a future option rather than an immediate goal.

Because of this, we wanted to create a space where people can hear the latest information directly from a Portuguese lawyer specialising in this area, better understand the current situation, and have the opportunity to ask their own questions live.

📅 Thursday 28th May
🕢 7:30 PM Lisbon time

Whether you already live in Portugal or are still planning your move, we hope this session will help bring a little more clarity and confidence to what is understandably a confusing topic right now.

Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/forca-portugal/ ⚽🇵🇹 Portugal is gearing up for the 2026 World Cup and the buzz is already spreading through cafés, bars and living rooms across the country.
If you’re still finding your feet here or preparing your move, football might just be the easiest (and most joyful) way to feel part of the national heartbeat.

Our latest article from Carl’s Column is a light‑hearted starter pack for cheering on the Portuguese national team (A Seleção), from the big names to listen out for to the chants you’ll hear everywhere once the tournament kicks off. It’s a fun peek into a side of Portuguese culture that brings people together like nothing else, full of passion, pride and plenty of “Força Portugal!” (Come on Portugal!).

This is exactly the kind of topic we explore in our Premium Members Lounge 🤝
Every two weeks, people (whether they’ve just arrived, are still planning their move, or have been here a while) come together to chat, learn, laugh and get to know each other. It’s friendly, welcoming and full of those “ahh, now I get it” moments that make settling in feel easier, whatever the theme of the week happens to be.

Tonight at 9:00 PM, we’ll be kicking off the Lounge with this article and the World Cup buzz, alongside the usual mix of shared stories, questions and discoveries.

💬 When the tournament begins, will you be cheering Portugal on, your home team, or a bit of both?

Expats Portugal

expatsportugal.com/calendar-whats-on/ At some point, everyone dealing with life in Portugal starts hearing terms like MB WAY, IBANs, transfer timelines, Portuguese banking apps… and wondering if everyone else somehow got a handbook they missed.

And sometimes the financial side of things ends up costing people far more money and stress than they expected. Not just through fees, but through timing, banking setup, delays, or simply not knowing the best way to handle things.

We see these situations come up more often than people realise, whether someone is planning their move, settling in, or has already been living in Portugal for years.

That’s why this Thursday 21st May at 7:30 PM Lisbon time we’re hosting a live webinar on banking and managing money while living in Portugal.

A practical and honest conversation with Q&A and expert guidance on everyday banking, transfers, common mistakes, and the small details that can quietly become expensive problems.

Expats Portugal

Whether you’re dreaming of Portugal or already calling it home, staying informed makes all the difference.

In last night's Town Hall, our panel unpacked the big topics shaping expat life right now, from nationality law changes and residency renewals to VFS issues, travel advice, and the challenges buyers face with habitation licences.

It was an honest, practical conversation about what’s really happening on the ground.

If you couldn’t join us live, you can still catch the discussion and stay connected with the community.
