About

Link in Portugal brings you the news and practical guides that matter to immigrants living and working in Portugal, in clear, simple English. Our tagline says it all: News you can use.

What we cover

  • AIMA, visas and residence permits
  • Work, jobs and worker rights
  • Taxes, IRS and Social Security
  • Starting and running a small business
  • Daily life: driving licences, renting, banking and more
  • Citizenship and the Portuguese language

Why we started

Many people who move to Portugal struggle with changing rules, long waits and information that is only available in Portuguese. We follow official announcements and trusted news sources every day and explain what changed, who it affects and what you need to do next.

How we work

Every news post links to its official source, and our guides are reviewed and updated when the rules change. Our content is general information, not legal or tax advice. For your specific situation, please speak to a lawyer, a certified accountant or the relevant public service.
