    I am just discovering your channel and just want to say how excited I am to find you. We're headed your way in February to solidify our plans to move and it's lovely to see such a "real" channel. THANK YOU!

    Caveat on the license is that you can drive on it until it expires OR you turn 65.
    Then you must convert an unexpired license to a Portuguese one with the driving record.

      About that 65 years old part. I don't know if they apply it to foreign DL's, but if you have a Portuguese DL, all DL's, even those grandfathered in, require renewal at 50 years old with a medical exam.

    My son had LOTS of support at his middle school (EBS Tomás de Borba in Angra do Heroísmo for one year) and now Escola Francisco Ferreira Drummond (here in São Sebastião). He is nearly fluent at age 14. I encourage anyone moving here to put their kids in local schools; they are good schools and they WILL have the language support they need!

      Such great advice. We're not in PT yet and our kids are grown, but when we moved to Japan, we took the same approach. Only thing I'd add, if you have a kid who is focused on their grades etc. more than most, is to prepare them by telling them that the first two years are just about the language and culture - like an anthropological experiment - and that will help take the pressure off for them. They will fill in any "gaps" in a matter of weeks once the language falls into place. We've seen this first-hand.

    Apostille said UH POS TEEL must be done by the Secretary of State of the issuing state of that birth certificate. It can take weeks, so best to plan way in advance.

    Just so you are aware, my understanding is you will need your driver's record to be apostilled when you go to exchange and people in some states have found that to be a bit challenging (plus it needs to be within 6 Mos of the license exchange)

    • @TessaHill22
      @TessaHill22 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, and it is done by the Secretary of State where the record came from. Talk to AIPA if you have any trouble with the "wet signature" new requirement issue on the Driving Record as they may be able to help.

      @newlifeazores1326  ปีที่แล้ว

      No it doesn’t we bought adapters before we moved here you can get them on Amazon for like $12.99 or something like that it only works for certain electronics, for heavier electronics you’re gonna need a transformer, for example, we shipped over a refrigerator that requires a transformer. It’s not necessarily ideal.

    Don't you start to get paid for videos once you get 1000 subs ???
    Seems like you are scared to say that ..or pretending like you don't know that .. isn't that the biggest perks of having 1000 subs ????

      I am aware but not familiar with the technical portion of it my son is very tech savvy and will be helping with that part I also looked it up it’s not the videos you get paid for it’s the adds that play during the videos also I believe it’s only like $120.00 a month if anything I’m not planning on becoming rich off of it and more excited about the things I mentioned in this video I tried to go live the other day and unfortunately couldn’t until we hit 1000 subscribers but we ended up achieving that goal last night🎉🎉 so now we can start a Patreon group, go live with our merch store, and other perks
