Move to Portugal from the UK in 2025
Still Want to Move to Portugal?
Let’s Make It Happen.
How We Can Help?
Leaving the UK isn’t just about better weather – it’s about taking control of your future. Whether you’re retiring, relocating for work, or starting over, Portugal offers a lifestyle many Brits dream of: sunshine, simplicity, and financial freedom.
At AB Emigration, we specialise in helping UK citizens make a clean break and start a new chapter in Portugal – legally, smoothly, and with total confidence.
Common Mistakes When Applying for a Portuguese Visa
❌ Submitting bank statements without certification
❌ Choosing the wrong visa category
❌ Failing to include proof of accommodation
❌ Applying with inadequate health insurance
❌ Misunderstanding tax implications post-Brexit
❌ Booking flights before your visa is approved
We see these costly errors every day. That’s why our UK-based lawyers handle every detail for you.
Can I Still Emigrate to Portugal from the UK After Brexit?
Yes, you can. But you’ll need a long-stay visa. Since Brexit, UK nationals are treated as third-country applicants – which means paperwork, proof of funds, and strict criteria.
The good news? We make this process easy.
We’ve helped clients:
- Retire early to the Algarve
- Relocate to Portugal to avoid UK taxes
- Work remotely from Lisbon
- Start businesses under the D2 visa
- Secure visas for entire families
