Besides also being at the top of the list of countries with a high level of English, Portugal holds the 5th most powerful passport in the world. In recent years the Portuguese passport has served as a gateway to almost 185 countries and it is as powerful as a passport stamped with Austria or the Netherlands.

Portugal maintains the same position as it was in 2008 and 2009. However, anyone with a Portuguese passport will need an early visa for 41 countries such as Angola, Cuba, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia or Azerbaijan.

As for UK’s passport, there will be a ‘transitional period’ until at least December 2020, in which free movement of EU citizens to the country will continue more or less as it operates today. After that, the UK is expected to introduce a new immigration system.

Ryan was an excellent real estate agent, he really steered me in the right direction based on what I said was important to me. Living in another country, I wasn't as familiar with the city as he is. Where I thought I wanted to live and what I truly wanted were not the same. He took the time to listen and figure out the best spot for me, and we are very happy with it - far more than we would have been elsewhere.
