Dental treatment Portugal by solmaz piri
Hi everyone,Could you please advise on paying for dental treatment in Portugal and Lisbon. Would you recommend any insurance or any dentist here?Thank you
It's a simple, pay everything yourself, system. Insurance in my opinion is a complete waste of time. There is no government assistance unless you are under 16 or you are a pregnant woman. Choose a dentist, there are thousands, and get your ... Read More
RENEWING US PASSPORT FROM PORTUGAL by maxwmitchell1997
Has anyone renewed their US passport while living in Portugal??
@daphnelavern No reason it shouldn't Daphne, just follow their instructions exactly. Once you send it, if you don't hear anything back in about 10 days, you can relax and start waiting. It takes about 2 weeks to come up in the actual tracking system ... Read More

Travel while waiting for new residence card by Paglaom
My Portugal residence card expired on 15th March 2024. I did my AIMA renewal appointment on 1st March 2024. They said the new card will take 90 days to arrive. My question is, can I travel to Spain and back to Portugal with my passport and receipt ...
The decree forms part of the document. It is just another way to issue it. Whether you have a card that has the date stamped on it, or the card and a just-as-valid legal decree of the Portuguese government accompanying it, with a future date of ... Read More

Trying to do this long distance you are inviting problems. You should come to Portugal and set everything up personally. You might find it will save you in money in the long run. I would be very careful of any of these agencies. Many of them are ... Read More

Hi Liam... What you will find as regards "touristy" in this area is that is really only in summer, and the vast majority of the tourists are Spanish. Most foreign tourists head south to the beaches of the Med. The rest of the year there are very few ... Read More
