Every year, thousands of Americans, British, Canadians, and other expats make the move — retiring early, working remotely, or simply starting over somewhere that offers more sunshine, safety, and quality of life for less money.

What most people lack is a clear, honest guide to navigate the process.

Moving to Portugal Made Simple is that guide.

Written by James Cave — founder of Portugalist.com, the go-to English-language resource that has helped thousands of people relocate to Portugal and been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Forbes, and The Independent — this fully updated edition covers everything you need to make a confident, informed decision about your move to Portugal.

Portugalist is trusted by expats worldwide for straight-talking, expert information on visas like the D7 and Golden Visa, and that same clarity runs through every page of this book.

Inside, you'll find clear answers to the questions keeping you up at night:

Which visa is right for your situation — and what income or investment do you actually need?
Where should you live? Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve, the Silver Coast — and what's the real difference?
How does Portuguese healthcare work for new residents?
Will you be taxed twice on your income?
How long until you can apply for EU citizenship — and what does that actually give you?
What does buying property in Portugal actually involve?

A plain-English breakdown of every major visa pathway:

The D7 Visa — for retirees and those with passive income, with a lower income threshold than most people expect
The Digital Nomad Visa — for remote workers and freelancers ready to swap their home office for somewhere sunnier
The Golden Visa — for investors, and what the current rules actually require
Student and employment visas — for those building a life here from the ground up

Beyond visas, you'll get honest guidance on cost of living, renting, buying property in Portugal, navigating bureaucracy, managing your taxes, and knowing what daily life actually looks like once the novelty wears off.

If you've been researching this move for months and want one book that pulls it all together — this is it.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal

Statutory right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.

Effects of withdrawal

If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:

The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
