I've now lived for over 1 year in Portugal. And while there are a lot of things to like about living here, there are also negatives - especially the legendary Portuguese bureaucracy, which turned out to be way worse than I imagined. What is it like moving to Portugal in 2025? Let's talk about new immigration rules and the problems that immigrants face here, as well as discuss my impressions of Lisbon and overall thoughts after 1 year in Portugal. Enjoy!
