Hey hey!

I’m planning to spend some time in Ericeira starting mid-June, any recommendation on area/housing and a spot for coworking or socializing? First time travelling solo :)

hey, anyone know of any accountants in portugal that can help me to optimise my tax structure as a digital nomad who just recently moved here? ty!!

I’m looking for the same currently. Found a good one specialising on USA, but the price he asks is inadequately high - asks for 500 for the first hour consultation. Do you need USA?
I know others ask not that
much - circa 180, so it was strange.
Please share if you already found something good.

much appreciated, I will keep you posted on how I get on iana

I will do the same, Charlie 👍🏻

Hi guys! Anybody in Ericeira? whatsup?

hey
I'm working with them https://www.relocatenow.io/

There’s a couple corowkimgs downtown that are fine

until next week

Hi, a little off topic but I curious why you decided to become a tax resident in Portugal since NHR 2.0 made it less attractive?

because I wanna move here

I had a call with tax adviser, he gave me clear picture about taxes and crypto in Portugal.
I decided to continue to work with them after this call. They can do full package or just IRS declaration

Interesting! Do you have any idea / ballpark range of their pricing?

How much was the call?

What do these guys take for a consultation, if not a secret? They all do basically the same thing, some have good reviews; is it just a market that they all want circa 500 per consultation?

First call is for free, then I think I paid 50 or 60 euros for call with tax advisor

That’s pretty good. Can you share their name please?

.

Oh thank you Nadiia! I didn’t see that message.

Np, Hope you also will get good service ☺️

hey everyone! looking for someone working with Paddle / LemonSqueezy / Stripe Managed Payments, living in Portugal, registered as trabalhador independente, paying taxes in Portugal.

Basically, I'm trying to find out how to create website with "Pay" button, easy way, and declare income legally and effortlessly.

Paddle and alternatives are presented as Merchant of Record (MoR) so working with them should be super easy,... but I haven't yet found anyone in Portugal working with them to understand how to do the paperwork, so maybe anyone here knows?

For those in Porto! Just created a meetup next week(7) at Fiasco! Let's go!

I am coming to Lisbon for a month next week, anything exciting organised or to attend? 🌞

Hey I just arrived in Lisbon and staying for the next 1.5 months, anyone got any tips for co-working spaces and events?

Hey there! Anyone knows any café work-friendly in Monte Gordo?

Anyone in Lisbon would like to have a sailing initiation workshop next Saturday 18th? We need one more person to book it (can be also more people) 🌊 Here’s the link to other details https://www.getyourguide.com/lisbon-l42/lisbon-sailing-initiation-2-or-4-hours-t500174

Hey everyone 👋
My partner and I were looking for a future home base and Lagos came up on our radar. Has anyone lived there or know how the vibe is? Is there a nice permanent community there? I know it's quite touristy in the peak season, but I see several co-working spaces and events going on.

Anyone knows any good recruiters in Portugal?

Was curious what the spread looks like on USD and GBP into EUR this week, ran the numbers and it's wider than I expected tbh.

On a $1,000 USD send the top ranked provider delivers EUR 848, worst ranked delivers EUR 802. So EUR 45 lands in rent or doesn't, same dollar amount sent. GBP to EUR is similar, around EUR 51 gap per 1,000 GBP.

Revolut and Circle hanging at the top. US and UK high street banks are the usual suspects at the bottom, eating 3-5% in hidden markup before you ever see it.

Anyone here in Portugal got a setup you swear by for getting USD or GBP into EUR? Wise + local bank, Revolut, stablecoin, some combo?

Happy to DM the full breakdown to anyone interested.

Any recommendations in Lisbon for personal chef or meal delivery services that actually tastes good?

Thinking of doing a 10K run this Sunday near the ocean (Carcavelos) if anyone wants to join. Always easier with company

Hey all! Bringing your laptop is very frowned upon in Spain. What's the deal in Portugal? Could I work from a cafe or should I better look for a cowork?

Hey everyone,

My wife and I are looking for a place to stay in Portugal for 3–4 months—anywhere is fine, as long as it’s nice and has a workspace.

Do you know of any good places for this?

Yes this is an issue mainly because cafes are so tiny in Lisbon. Starbucks and Honest Greens are fine but finding power is (intentionally) rare. You can always ask though.

Hey Bilal, maybe, just maybe, before posting the same message in 10 country channels you decide which country you want to go to first. Just a thought. Safe travels.

I never felt like I was unwelcome when working from A Padaria Portuguesa or Jeronymo café chains for a few hours. Lots of people doing the same.

Yes I do. What are you looking for you exactly?

Never an issue in 5 years, as long as you're quiet just spend a few hours top, and consume a minimum it's alright. And there are plenty of places.
If you take calls then it's another story.

Wise X2

Anyone in Porto wants to attend WRC Thursday thru Sunday? I have a car and will be going. DM if interested.

Coming to Lisbon this evening. Anyone who wants to catch a coffee tomorrow and share their favorite places in the city?

Hey everyone, 👋

32yo software engineer from South Africa here. I’m heading to Porto for the month of September to work remotely, and I'm looking for both a cool coliving spot and some people to hang out with.

I’m pretty chill but a little awkward, just looking for genuine connections while I'm there. When I'm not working I’m usually playing guitar, watching anime, or out running (even though I have a total love-hate relationship with exercise).

Definitely down to link up with locals or other nomads for a run, a coffee, or a co-working session. Also, if anyone has recommendations for a coliving place with a really good, welcoming community for September, please let me know!

Hi. Soon in Lisbon, by van. Willing to stay a few weeks.

Looking for:
- meeting people (events?)
- coworking/cafés
- makerspaces (van-friendly?)
- gym or CrossFit
- free parking (day & night)

FYI, working on (google this) "Unity Playgrounds Vision Polleunus"

Hey everyone! I’m a first‑time solo woman traveler in Portugal this August and I’m torn between exploring the north or the south. What would you recommend and why?

The south (Algarve) is good for beaches and outdoors activities, more of touristy beach town vibe. The North (Porto region) has more cultural activities, historical sites, etc, but this time of the year is also very good for outdoors stuff, there's the Gerés which is a huge national park where you can do mountain hikes and also has great river beaches. If you like pickleball there's a great place in Gaia (Porto metropolitan area) where I often play. Lisbon is the cosmopolitan big city, where you will never run out of things to do, but it's also the most expensive and sometimes can feel like a giant tourist trap.

Thanks! That's a solid overview! But from your experience, what would you recommend? I'm looking for surf, but I also saw that there's a big music festival named Neopop going on from 6 to 8 of august in the north of Porto.. I just dont want to do central -> north and then south 🤣️️️️️️

I live in Porto so I'm biased, but this time of the year there's a thousand things happening, music festivals, etc. Even tons of free ones, check this page on insta: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZFLX3oMtUV/?igsh=ejFvemsxdjBuZHEx

Looking for a coliving place with good working spaces in Lisbon.
Does anyone have any recs? Thanks
