Moving to Portugal Show returns for Brits considering a fresh start overseas

Packed with information about moving to Portugal, from the different visa, residency and tax options to the practicalities of daily life, the free-to-attend event will run from 10.30am to 7.30pm.

With an engaging mix of live seminar presentations and expert panel discussions, and a carefully curated selection of exhibitors, the Moving to Portugal Show is designed to provide a one-stop-shop for information on moving to Portugal.

Experts will be on hand to discuss both business-related and lifestyle moves, with information available on jobs, schooling, healthcare, the cost of living and more.

Christina Hippisley, general manager of the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK, says: “The Moving to Portugal Show and Seminars October 17 is ideally timed to address issues thrown up by the recent general elections in both Portugal and the UK.

"As many families reassess their finances, priorities and plans, Portugal appeals from both a lifestyle perspective and as a sound fiscal move, particularly as the new Portuguese government rolls out its plans to welcome expats.”

The new government in Portugal has already announced its intention to reintroduce a 20% flat income tax rate for certain professional roles, which is one of several key topics that will be covered at the October Moving to Portugal Show.

In the UK, the new Labour government also plans a raft of changes, likely to impact everything from taxes and economic growth to ties with Europe. Some of these changes could have a significant impact on individuals’ financial and business decisions.

On the tax front, potential policy shifts could influence both personal and corporate finances. Economic policies also have the potential to steer growth in different directions, impacting everything from business strategies to economic stability. And relations with Europe could also change, including trade and investment opportunities.

All of this means that now could be the ideal time for many individuals and families to explore the financial and lifestyle opportunities that relocating to Portugal presents. The Moving to Portugal Show provides the opportunity to do so.

The premier and longest-running UK event dedicated solely to Portugal, it will include not only seminars and presentations but the chance for one-to-one meetings with exhibitors. At the October event, these will include a wide range of specialist property, relocation, legal, currency, investment and pensions firms, as well as teams from prestigious resorts such as Vilamoura, Life Plan, DDM and Pestana Algarve.

The Moving to Portugal Show and Seminars is free to attend. It will be held at the Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel, London SW11. Tickets must be booked in advance, with online registration open.
