Azores

This island group is located in the Atlantic Ocean, is part of Portugal and is not called the Hawaii of Europe for nothing. In short; we understand why you are seriously considering emigrating to one of these islands. To help you get started, we want to give you not only some fun, but also very helpful information. Because even though you are going to live on Portuguese territory, you will have to deal with a completely different kind of move. Not only because it goes overseas, but also because the bureaucracy is different. But rest assured; we will help you!

• The mild subtropical climate with nearly always pleasant temperatures.
• The unspoiled nature, including some of the largest whale colonies in the world, offers true peace. You’ll feel as if you’re in a completely different world.
• The cost of living and dining out is much cheaper. Additionally, you pay in euros, so there are no exchange rate issues.
• Almost no crime and no political unrest.
• Many freelancers, who can work remotely, choose the expat life in the Azores.

Preparation is key for everything. Engage multiple specialists who can help take care of you and your family’s needs. This will help you avoid much of the stress. Organizing everything will take significantly more time than with a domestic move. Portuguese bureaucracy is entirely different from what you’re used to in the Netherlands. Paperwork, as in other Southern European countries, can take much longer than expected. Think, for instance, of dealing with the local municipality or applying for your NIF number. Tip: Start your preparations well in advance!
