Portugal is NOT the California of Europe

Good to know ahead of time is how the zip codes work:

@bealbocht63

Great show, thank you, all

@ursulapilski4358

We are moving in January 2024 and we are over prepared - been visiting and getting info since 2019, have a plan-hope executions will go flawless (coming on EU citizenship so hoping for easier transition) - counting on EI and the rest of the Dream Team for help

@maryr7593

The level of preparation tends to depend upon how much money is at your disposal in case things go wro g.

@maryr7593

I have read about horror stories of expats bought property in a small village and things started happe ing, they didnt know why, things exculated, to the extent that the expat family finally decided to leave because the villiagers made it clear that foreigners were not welcome. The expat family contacted police, they did nothing and even started harassing the family by stopping them repeatedly. Theexpat family started to worry about their safety and that of children. Farm animals were poisoned, property, car, etc vandalized, Apparently every foreigner who bought in that area were run out of the area prior to this family buying there. Does expat Portugal have any advice for ppl in these situations?

@droheerahman9366

Can you tell how the house rent situation going on Portugal now?

@maryr7593

Will the ending of the NHR in 2024 influence ppl's thoughts about going to PT?

@ubomninomen7765

Ola

@lauriecomeau5795

Is there an outline of what is needed to get a drivers license in 2023/2024 if 60 yrs old?

@contecrayononpaper

I was thinking 'Ugly American' --- and then it was said around the 10 minute mark. Will Portugal be overrun by the very thing I, in the U.S., want to leave behind?

@craftbrewer4032

when are property prices going to return to normal? Right now there is no comparison of what you get comparing apples to apples when you look at other countries in Europe. A water view same size property in southern Italy in a same size town or city is 100K-150K Euro less than anywhere in Portugal except for out in the middle of nowhere in central Portugal. What gives?

@tedwhanstall6156

Wow I do not believe people do not understand basic manners. LOL Start a conversation with Hello and say thank you should be normal in every country.

@user-yf2yk4rg6n

The idea that you give priority to the elderly or those with children is not unique to Portugal. Perhaps American is the unusual country in terms of for caring or lack of for others.
