Key takeaways from CLS webinar: Moving to Portugal 2021

30 April 2021

On April 29, CLS carried out a “Moving to Portugal” webinar in collaboration with Ombria, Danske Bank and Servulo & Associados. Speakers from each entity shared different practical aspects on what is required when planning on moving to this lovely country. During the webinar, we covered loans, taxes and different types of properties depending on the specific need the potential Swedish relocators may have.

We are happy to share the key takeaways from this dynamic webinar:

Portugal as a destination has become increasingly popular during the last years, nominated as both a world-class destination and one of the most safe countries in the world – both Sweden and other nationalities have considered and made Portugal as their new home, or their preferred destination.

And remember:
- The public entities are not integrated, so you need to register with each public entity and not only with the “tax authority” – like we do with Skatteverket in Sweden
