How I can help you
Moving to Portugal, or trying to sort things from abroad, can get messy fast. Opening a bank account, arranging healthcare, applying for residency, or dealing with official letters usually means figuring out unfamiliar systems, Portuguese paperwork, and local rules. That is where I come in. I help you handle the practical side, clearly and step by step.
This service is especially helpful if you:
- Are planning to move to Portugal or have recently arrived
- Need help navigating Portuguese administration and procedures
- Do not speak Portuguese and need support with appointments, correspondence or translations
- Are not always in Portugal but need someone local to assist with practical matters
- Simply want a trusted person to guide you through the process step by step
What I can do for you
Whether you need one thing sorted or the whole picture there is an option for every situation.

Hi, I am Liesbeth
In 2023, I moved with my husband and kids from the Netherlands to Ericeira. I went through every step myself: NIF, NISS, CRUE, freelancer registration, health centre, school enrolment, the lot. I learned Portuguese along the way and I am now studying for official certification. With a legal background and real experience of doing this as a family, I help other expats avoid the confusion and stress I ran into myself.
📍 Based in Ericeira · Covering the Greater Lisbon area (Lisbon, Cascais, Setúbal and surroundings) · Online services available across all of Portugal
