Orientation Package
We make Lisbon your home
Lisbon is on your mind. So where do you start?
Perhaps you are still weighing up whether the move is right for you. Perhaps the decision was made long ago. Either way, the questions arrive faster than the answers, and every website seems to say something different.
I know this from my own experience: even with good preparation, moving to Lisbon feels overwhelming at first. In the Orientation Package, we work out together what really applies to you and turn it into a plan, so you can take your move into your own hands.
The questions we hear most often:
- Which documents do I need to prepare now?
- Which registrations actually apply to me?
- Which neighbourhood suits my everyday life?
- What has to happen first, and what can wait?
- What haven’t I even thought of yet?
You finish with your own personal relocation roadmap.
Not a generic guide, but a plan for your move: tailored to your situation, your timeline and your priorities.
- You know what applies to you. From your NIF to health insurance, without detours into things that don’t concern you.
- You know when to do what. Every step has its place in your timeline.
- You know who to turn to. With contacts from our network and the right articles from “The Lisbon Chapter”.

Four steps from the first call to your finished plan
-
01
We get to know your situation
Initial call and questionnaire
After the free initial call, you fill in a short questionnaire about your household, your timeline, your wishes and your open questions. This lets us prepare your consultation around your move.
-
02
We sort it out together
60-minute consultation
Online, we go through everything: what applies to you, what you need to prepare, what comes first and what can wait. Including which neighbourhoods suit your lifestyle and budget.
-
03
We write your plan
Your personal relocation roadmap
From our consultation, we create your roadmap with a checklist, timeline, links to the right offices and contacts from our network. Everything in one place.

You take action, we stay close

Once you get started, new questions come up. For two weeks, simply email us and we reply personally. You organise your move yourself, but not on your own.
For everyone who wants to do it themselves and feel sure along the way
Clarity
You understand what your move involves and make decisions with confidence rather than guesswork.
Experience
You get answers from someone who made the move from Germany to Lisbon herself and now guides others through it every day.
Time

Your move. Your plan.
