National Health Number by busyboy50
Good Afternoon, I know this topic has been covered, probably a number of times, but I need to ask and read about it again. I have a Resident Permit and my 6 months in Portugal, which the Portuguese Consulate in Toronto stated I needed before being ...

Thanks Johnny, I think the problem is that while I got the NIF documents updated, I didn't sign and send them back. So is it possible that if you received an updated NIF document with correct address, but never signed it, it is considered invalid?I ... Read More

Your year 2022 by Mickael
Hello everyone, Every year, our lives are punctuated by events, twists and turns and all sorts of unexpected things. Local and international news has inevitably had an impact on your life and your projects in Portugal in one way or another. ...
One of the highlights was doing a road trip with my 11-year old son and our dog from Amsterdam to Cascais. He still talks about it until today. It was a way more pleasant way to move to Portugal than the flight my wife and daughter took! I'd do it ... Read More

After having lived in Portugal for five months only, I can say that we are pretty happy with our social lives so far. We have a padel tennis group in Cascais with 120 people, tournaments are organized on a monthly basis but you can play almost every ... Read More

Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) by Hansson
The Malaysia My Second Home (MM2H) Visa was initially introduced as a Retirement Visa for foreigners interested in moving to and settling in Malaysia. Basically it is a 10 year Social Visit Pass with Multiple Entry that allows you to go and come as ...
@Boomeranng This is one of the reasons why we were hoping for Kota Kinabalu to benefit from a new Sabah-MM2H program. KK seems to offer more than Kuching for expat families with children. Ideally it will offer visas based on home purchases without ... Read More

After having been in Portugal for almost two months, I can say that it helps a lot to visit expat meetings (my wife gets them through facebook groups), but you could also use the Meetup app, which has many Portuguese and non-Portuguese members that ... Read More
