Retirement in Portugal

Hi mates,

- Could any of you recommend an immigration lawyer for Portugal?

- Any reccomendations on the 50+ communities, nursing homes where the medical centers/ facilities are near by and no need to Commute to the city?

thank you in advance.

I recently got my Portuguese citizenship. My lawyer in Portugal below could probably help. They speak English.

Is an immigration lawyer really necessary to retire in Portugal?

Does one have to stand before a judge?

OP's profile indicates US citizenship. Maybe non-EU citizens have to meet certain criteria in order to retire in the EU?

That is often the case, yes.

One way that I learnt is through showing enough passive income, so-called "Portugal D7 visa". Pretty affordable.

OP can have a look at this.
