THE PAPERWORK

GETTING YOU THERE LEGALLY

Motherland collaborates with trusted immigration lawyers, tax accountants and wealth advisors, covering all of your legal and financial needs before you move.

  • From D1 to D9, visas for start-ups and digital nomad, or the popular Golden Visa regime, our team of experts can advise and accompany you through this important first step in the relocation process.

  • Our network of trusted legal and fiduciary partners will give you a clear picture of the tax system in Portugal and help you navigate the ins and outs. Rest assured you’re in compliance, and are taking advantage of all the best incentives.

  • Moving large amounts of capital between countries can seem like a daunting task at first. But with the right advisors at your side, it can be strategic and rewarding.

helping you build your nest

We have three decades of real estate experience in Portugal and a reliable network of contacts to match. We’ll make the connections, find the hidden gems, and ensure your investments are protected.

  • Portugal does not have a centralized Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and homeowners are often shy about putting their properties for sale on the open market. That’s why you need agents by your side who know the nature of this market and how to find the ideal property at the right price.

  • With over 3 decades in the real estate industry, covering both commercial and residential, our team is well-versed in the art of negotiation here. We know what to look out for over the course of a transaction to ensure our clients are protected in their investments.

  • Leveraging your purchase is absolutely possible in Portugal, and it might even be easier than you think. We’ll personally connect you with seasoned mortgage brokers and to our contacts at major banking institutions. They’ll provide you with the best options in financial products to meet your individual needs.

HOMEMAKING

GETTING YOU SETTLED IN

We’ll assist you with one of the most creative and exciting parts of your relocation to Portugal, matching you to our top interior designers and helping your turn your property into a true home.

  • From shipping to hired hands, we’ll ensure you have the right support so your personal items arrive safe and sound.

  • One of the most exciting aspects of the relocation process is designing your new dwelling or investment. We’ll introduce you to our close friends and collaborators, who will take your purchase, remodel, or new build to the next level with inspiring design.

  • What if I’m not bringing anything with me? What if I don’t know where I want to buy? Not to worry. We’ll connect you to a curated selection of soulful rental properties in diverse regions across the country to get an idea of what’s available in our corner of the world. When it comes to furniture, we’ve got you covered there too.

GeTting your IMPORTANT NEEDS met

We’ll walk you through your options when it comes to education, healthcare, transportation and other important needs. We’ll also orient you to the local services in your chosen location.

  • Portugal has a great educational system. Whether you’re looking for a quality public school so your children can integrate into the local culture; an international school where they will be supported in the English language and global educational standards; or an alternative environment such as Montessori or Waldorf-based pedagogy, we will advise you through your research and examination process.

  • The healthcare system in Portugal is affordable, accessible, and professional. Private healthcare costs a fraction of its equivalent in places like North America. We will walk you through the process of getting integrated into the healthcare system and advise you on ideal choices for your unique case.

  • Finally, the most important step of all: Setting down your roots and starting your new dream life abroad! Once you’ve chosen a region, a property, and a timeline, we will assist you in tapping into all of the resources that your local community has to offer.
