Pedro Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Last weekend I took my bike to my mechanic, entering an empty street out of a roundabout I jokingly thought to myself that our hand drive surely feels right to me, and suddenly I was unsure of which lane to take! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clive Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 We were all set to go on holiday to Portugal (2002), near Albufeira, but the apartment owner passed away just a month before we were due to go there, and his wife cancelled all booking for the apartment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 A double edged sword! Great for those expat brits that are legitimately resident in Portugal, but could be seen as a great opportunity for those booted out of Spain to come over the border and pollute Portugal now! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No.....they came to that arrangement with Spain a few months ago. And if they couldn't get residency in Spain then they won't in Portugal either. Apparently they even do criminal record checks as well now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the monthly income requirements for Portugal are lower than those in Spain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
