An increasing number of Americans are moving to Portugal for business, pleasure, and simply to start new lives in a vibrant European culture. It attracts many people from America and other places because it is the one country in Europe that is genuinely open to welcoming outsiders.

Portugal also offers a warm climate, a laid-back attitude, and many cultural and historical attractions. Then there’s the lower cost of living, the safe and stable environment, and the easy access to anywhere else in Europe. Why wouldn’t people wanting to live in Europe choose Portugal?

Americans in Portugal

Getting to Portugal is easy. There are flights daily from most of the airports in the largest US cities. You also can fly there from just about anywhere else in Europe, or take a high-speed train directly to Lisbon, Portugal’s largest city.

People from the US are allowed to stay in Portugal for up to 90 days without a visa. Suppose you want to remain in the country any longer than that. In that case, you will need to secure the appropriate visa or a residency permit, which can be obtained from the Portuguese consulate closest to where you currently live.
