I moved to Portugal in 2017, mainly because of Brexit, though sun, sea, surf & lifestyle also played a part.
In this area Cascais-Lisbon, I’ve met umpteeen very wealthy entrepreneurs and professionals who have moved from the UK including many South Africans and Australians who were in London but had enough of the miserable weather.
I don’t miss the UK lifestyle is so much better here.
- clappski 6y agoWhat's the language barrier and job market like there? Portugal seems more appealing to myself than Spain for some reason, perhaps because I've never been to Portugal...

- blaser-waffle 6y agoNot a terrible deal if you're working for an international firm remotely and can be anywhere. Some job security issues -- e.g. lining up a new one if you get fired or something -- but that can be worked around.
- garyclarke27 6y agoYou can easily get by without Portuguese, most locals have excellent English as does the large friendly expat community (many Scandanavians Brazilians and Americans). Economy was booming (prior to Covid) wages are quite low if income originates locally - but most of people that I know (who have a great lifestyle) work for international companies or have their own business.
