Anybody purchase a Genuino Sesmarias condo from ESCALA GLOBAL, S.A. by carlos-sousa

In 2022 I purchased a new condo (under construction) in the Genuino Sesmarias Garden development from a company called ESCALA GLOBAL, S.A. (a company out of Porto) in Portimão (Alvor) via their local sales agents.After signing the contract ...

This is pretty much the norm in Portugal. Developers will need to sell all or most of the condos so they have the money to build. It's a huge risk and it can take around 4 years. In the 90's, contractors would just declare bankruptcy and the bricks ... Read More

Rental proof for SEF appointment by bloggerblogger

Hey guys,I have my D& Visa and I am in Portugal already but my SEF appointment is April 2024. So I have been paying my landlord since October 2023 based on my rental booking date at Uniplaces even though I fled to Portugal just in December 2023 ...

Nia Queiroz

@sunbest the contract must be registered by the landlord. Uniplaces is not a very good place to rent from for visa purposes as it's a platform and you don't deals with the landlord directly. Read More

UK Citizen Moving to Portugal by Klmeermpt666

As a UK citizen experienced in teaching , can I find work as ESL , English teacher in Portugal ? Has Brexit effectively banned British teachers from working in Portugal?

@Klmeermpt666 Brexit didn't banned UK teachers from working in Portugal. The market does that. English is a widely spoken language and there isn't a shortage of English teachers. However, you can always try and apply for a place at private school or ... Read More
