Transport possibilities

• Excellent
Worried? No need, because we'll take care of everything for you. Your schedule leads the entire moving process. You decide both the loading and unloading dates. Additionally, everything is completely taken care of for you. From packing to assembling your furniture. Nice, right?

• Comfort
Want the quality of a certified mover but still move affordably? Then choose our comfort option. You decide when your belongings will be loaded, to be delivered later in 'groupage'. In short: during our trip, multiple households' belongings are combined to save costs. This flexible delivery not only provides financial benefits for you, but you naturally also maintain the quality of a professional mover. Of course, we handle all loading and unloading. You'll get moving boxes from us, though you'll need to pack your items properly yourself.

• Budget
Rather go low-budget? Because you'd like to roll up your sleeves yourself or to save money? No problem, we'll work with you. You'll get a van/moving truck with a driver at your disposal throughout the entire moving process. You'll then load and unload your belongings independently. Good alternative, right? You'll also arrange all necessary packing and moving materials in advance yourself. You do have the option to purchase moving boxes from us.

Emigrating without stress

First of all; prepare very well. This applies to everything. Involve multiple specialists who can take the burden off you and your family. This prevents most of the stress. Arranging matters takes much more time than a domestic move.

The Portuguese bureaucracy is totally different from the Dutch. Paperwork, as in other Southern European countries, can take much longer than you're used to. Think for example of the local municipality, but also applying for your NIF number. Tip: start your preparation well in advance!

We deal with international moves on a daily basis and therefore recognize like no other what people run into. Do you have any questions? Feel free to ask. We'll answer them free of charge and take care of the entire moving process for you, from door to door, with great care.

To take into account...

Don't forget to...

Learn the Portuguese language. The local population will greatly appreciate this and be even more helpful towards you. Even if you only know a few basic words.
Deregister from your current municipality and register with your new municipality in Portugal. This also allows you to request a Certificado de Registo.
Apply for your NIF number (Número de Identificação Fiscal). This allows you to arrange all kinds of matters in Portugal. Think for example of opening a bank account, buying a car, and closing subscriptions.
Open an account with the 'Portal das Finanças' after you have applied for your NIF number. This is the Portuguese Tax Authority. Is this all too complicated for you? Then call in a specialist or ask us for tips.
