The moment your plane touches down in Portugal should feel like the beginning of something exciting—not the start of a long, confusing to-do list.
But for many expats, arrival is the most overwhelming part of the journey. There are lines to stand in, documents to present, and decisions to make—often in a language you’re still learning and a system that feels foreign.
That’s why Brint created the Expat Transition Roadmap—a personalized, full-scope relocation plan designed to make your move smooth from the very first step.
What Makes Arrival So Stressful?
The first 24–72 hours after landing are often filled with uncertainty. Where do you go first? How do you set up a local SIM card? Where do you pick up your residence permit? Can you even access healthcare yet?
Without a plan, each of these steps becomes a separate challenge. With Brint, they’re already taken care of—long before you leave the airport.
The Brint Difference: Your Move, Already Mapped Out
Our Expat Transition Roadmap covers the critical steps of your move, customized to your situation, timeline, and goals. Here’s what’s included:
Pre-Arrival Planning
- NIF (Portuguese tax ID)
- Local bank account setup
- Embassy documentation review
- Temporary housing coordination
- School research (if relocating with children)
- Tailored guidance for your visa type
We make sure everything is lined up and ready to go, so you’re not reacting—you’re arriving with purpose.
Warm Welcome on Arrival
- Airport pickup (optional, but popular!)
- A friendly face to greet you, explain next steps, and walk you through your new surroundings
- A soft landing—no guesswork, no panic
Getting Settled, Simplified
- Help choosing the right neighborhood based on your lifestyle
- Utility setup (water, electric, internet)
- Local SIM card and mobile plan
- Registration support for healthcare and tax services
- City orientation so you know where to shop, eat, and relax from day one
It’s Not Just Logistics—It’s Peace of Mind
Anyone can book a flight. What matters is how you feel when you land.
