Who this is for

  • You've decided Portugal is the destination and want to arrive prepared, not scrambling.
  • You want a clear sequence — what to decide first, second, third — instead of a scattered to-do list.
  • You're choosing between Lisbon and Cascais (or another region) and want an informed frame.
  • You value calm, deliberate preparation over rushed logistics on arrival.

What you receive

  • Everything in the Strategy Session
  • City-specific digital orientation guides (Lisbon or Cascais)
  • Decision frameworks and a personalized sequencing roadmap
  • Two follow-up advisory calls scheduled around your milestones
  • Email guidance between sessions for questions as they surface
  • Curated referrals to legal, tax, and relocation professionals as needed

    A final call to confirm the first 30 days are set up: housing, essentials, first-week priorities, and what to leave open on purpose.

Questions about this package

What's the difference from the Full Arrival Advisory?+

Pre-Arrival ends at your landing. Full Arrival Advisory continues through your first 30–90 days on the ground with on-location support and coordination with your other professionals.

Do you handle visas or paperwork?+

No — we do not offer legal, visa, or tax services. We coordinate with licensed professionals in those areas and make sure your relocation sequence supports their timelines.

What if my timeline shifts?+

It usually does. The engagement is designed to flex — the sequencing roadmap and follow-up calls adjust to your real timeline, not a fixed calendar.

Can we choose the city later?+

Yes. Many clients decide between Lisbon and Cascais during the engagement. We keep the guides and sequencing flexible until you've confirmed the choice.

Is this suitable for families?+

Yes. Households, schools, and family logistics are core to the sequencing work. Timing and referrals adjust accordingly.
