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.
