Customer Reviews

Very useful
I have bought a number of books on living in Portugal etc and this is one of my favourites. Why? Because it has helped me. The best chapters are the advice on residence and entry resolutions, the setting up home in Portugal, employment and starting a business. In all these chapters I have found a lot of useful information some of which I have already used with good success. A good book I am happy to recommed.
