Living in Portugal & Spain

Families who move to Portugal or Spain usually arrive with a portfolio, not a single policy: a home or two, valuables, cars, health cover that has to keep working across borders, and liability that should match what they own. The order in which these are arranged matters, and so does the language in which the policies are explained.

The articles below deal with what international residents meet first — tax numbers, how a claim works when you do not read Portuguese or Spanish, and how cover is coordinated between the two countries.
