Hi,I'd like to hear from others who have relocated, on how and why you chose the mobile network / contract you did, and if you are happy with your choice (now presumably down the line)?I am investigating which cellular provider to go with, ...
I know a lot of people will mention Lyca, and Simyo is another. Most of these pony on the back of the KPN network. They're only slightly cheaper, I think, and if you're prepaid, you're going to have secondary "rights" on the network, plus may ... Read More

AirBnB to meet hotel requirement for entry into Morocco? by chaslaw
A friend and her husband hope to visit Morocco a few months from now, travel restrictions permitting. They're wondering if the requirement for a valid hotel reservation can be met with an AirBnB reservation. Does anyone know about this? Thank ...
Fair warning. Unless something has changed, all that I've read on TA forums say that it MUST be a licensed hotel property, due to the sanitation requirements involved in establishments as such. I have heard Airbnb reservations were leading to ... Read More

Wow, that's a long post. The one thing that stands out to me is that you've been here two years, have a Portuguese love of your life, yet still can't speak the language... That's on you. If you're tired of being sidelined in ... Read More
Overstay policies by Enltguy
The BI website is pretty thorough, but certain things aren't addressed, like what if you DO overstay a visa. My tourist visa hits the 59-day expiration (got the 29 day extension before hitting 30) this next Monday the 11th. I'm in an odd ...
