Today I’m joined by Morgan and Louie Silva, and we dive into their story of moving to Portugal. Louie was able to get citizenship through his family roots, which made the move a little quicker, while Morgan is still on her own journey toward citizenship as a spouse. We talk about what it’s been like navigating the AIMA process, the little cultural adjustments along the way, and of course, those fun “pinch me” moments that remind them why they chose Portugal. They also share how the expat community has supported them and why, believe it or not, living in a place without constant Amazon deliveries can actually be a good thing.

AIMA: Agency for Integration, Migration, and Asylum
The AIMA website is the official online portal for Portugal’s Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (Agency for Integration, Migration, and Asylum). It provides information and services related to visas, residency permits, asylum requests, immigrant integration, and other migration-related matters in Portugal.
