Expat Bridge provides administrative assistance, coordination, and practical guidance to support expats navigating relocation and bureaucracy in Portugal. Our role is to simplify processes, assist with documentation, book appointments, and coordinate communication with relevant entities.

Expat Bridge is not a law firm, accounting practice, or notary and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Where a matter requires licensed professionals—such as lawyers, accountants, notaries, engineers, or inspectors—we may recommend and coordinate with trusted professionals based on the client’s needs.

All third-party professional services are contracted and paid directly by the client. Clients are always free to choose their own professionals. Expat Bridge acts solely as a facilitator and point of coordination, ensuring transparency, clarity, and smooth communication throughout the process.

Outcomes and timelines may depend on third-party professionals and public authorities.
