start from basics, re finances, visas/residency

Hi, I was a forum member a few years ago, collating info on how to start a new life in Portugal - this was before Brexit. Back then I was not really in a position to move, hence the planning. Then Brexit happened and a few months later, my mum passed away and my world crumbled. Today I am back to the point where I was previously, planning to leave UK and my research starting from scratch. This site was brilliantly helpful previously and I'm sure it still will be. I need to start from basics, re finances, visas/residency etc... However I am older now with a slight disability and semi retired, looking to retire or do some light work. Buy a property/land be a bit more self sufficient and I have the strong possibility of a friend wanting to do the same, so we could pool resources.  Nice to be back!  1f60a.svg
