- Hey beautiful people! 🌸 Welcome back to another sunny episode of Living in the Algarve! I'm Raquel, a Canadian girl living in paradise, and today we're diving into why some folks might choose to leave this stunning region. Grab your coffee, tea, or wine, get comfy, and let's explore the quirky, challenging, and hilarious aspects of life here! 🍷😄
*1. Portuguese Bureaucracy 📝*
Navigating Portuguese bureaucracy is like a national sport! Residency permits, health registration, and car registrations can feel like a maze. It's always best to seek professional help to avoid the stress!
*2. Healthcare System 🏥*
While Portugal ranks high in healthcare quality, wait times and language barriers can be challenging. Sometimes, you might even need to travel back home for specific treatments.
*3. Choosing the Right Location 📍*
Where you vacation might not be where you want to live! From isolated villages to bustling tourist spots, finding the perfect location can take time.
*4. Cultural Misunderstandings 🌍*
From boisterous greetings to barking dogs, adapting to local customs can be a journey. Embrace the quirks and remember, you're here for a new experience!
*5. Failed Investments 💼*
Seasonal fluctuations in tourism can impact businesses. High-season expectations and red tape can make investing here tricky. Always plan for the off-season!
*6. Life Changes 🌟*
Career opportunities, education, or personal reasons can sometimes call you back home. Family needs or the desire for a faster-paced life might also be factors.
Despite the challenges, the Algarve's beauty and community often tip the scales. Every sunset, new friend, and adventure makes it all worthwhile. 🌅

great frank information that still makes it worthwhile to move to Portugal. I cant wait to get there.
And we can't wait to have you! You're going to LOVE it! Do you know where you'll be visiting?
One of the most interesting and entertaining videos I've seen lately on the Algarve. Can't wait to get back there. Counting the days 🙏
That's very kind, thank you! What's your favorite town / city in the Algarve?
While I enjoy many of the destinations in the Algarve, Lagos, for me is the preferred location.
@@peterferreira1025 I was just there last week! Meia Praia and Marina😊
Thanks again for another nice video! I like your sense of humor!!! :-)
Thank you for the kind words 😊
Great talk. Please invest in a good mic. Voice is a bit hard to hear properly at times.
Thank you for the feedback! New channel growing pains😂
Looking forward to watching your videos . We are Canadians and stayed in Algarve for a month a few years ago and loved. Would loved to have a place to go to of our own.
Feel free to WhatsApp me at +351 913 629 174 if you'd like anymore information 😊
I forgot to mention France doesn't tax your Social Security or IRA or 401K.
Your doing great mom❤️
@@ChloeSlide you are very sweet ❤️
It might be a good idea to not put music in the video if sometimes you talk very softly.
Some of the words cannot be heard.
The first one doesn't only applies for non EU citizens.
The second one (waiting times for healthcare) is a problem across the whole of the EU.
It helps if you have money for private healthcare.
Thank you for the feedback🙂
Tourists are getting their heads crushed in Porto if they don't buy weed from sellers in the streets, peopke are being attacked by Africans with big knifes in Lisbon!😢
What else? Portugal is becoming a hotspot for criminals isn’t it?
You are on something!
Well, Canadian, American or British immigrants (I know they prefer to be called "expats", but that's what they are in reality), have advantages and disadvantages when they move to another country. Bureaucracy is part of any immigration process, and I have to admit that in Portugal it's a bigger issue than in most EU countries. That being said, I have to add that the Americans, Canadians and British have the extra problem of being from a non EU countries, and, inevitably, since Brexit, the British are treated the same way as an immigrant from South America or Africa, with all the extra paperwork that that implies. In terms of language, well, if a Portuguese goes to Canada, USA or UK, can you imagine him just speaking Portuguese? If you want to live in another country, don't expect all the locals to speak your language, be humble, and make the effort to learn theirs, or... just accept there will be times when people around you won't understand you. That said, hope you enjoy the sun down at Algarve and have a pleasant stay, all immigrants are important to this country.
You're absolutely right! There are advantages and disadvantages to moving to any country. For me, the advantages of the Algarve are still much much greater than the disadvantages🙂
Is simpler.. some are here just because tax benefits.. so, is for financial reasons. If they a very good business reseling the house... they sell... That simple....... After they Will tell they leave or cultural diferences...
People who are immigrating to Canada, regardless of their country of origin, has to complete as much paperwork work as any other country’s requirements . There is the application, to be sent to the specific embassy based on your country of origin, with a upfront fee of hundreds of $s. As part of the application one has to provide all the necessary documents.
Regardless of the country of origin you have to pass a French or an English requirement test; background checks, financial fitness, etc.
You have to provide a medical report from a designated physician and pass the medicals. And if you have a chronic illness no good luck is going to come your way and the fee you paid with the application is gone👋👋 if denied regardless of the reason.
The Canadian application process takes years before your application gets processed. While you are waiting, babies are born, people change their minds or I am sure sometimes leaves this mortal world during their waiting period.
Good luck in your next destination. You're already late.
Thank you for the good wishes!!! Late for what?🙂
@@livinginthealgarve Late for getting out of Portugal. Don't like it ? Leave. You have to adapt to the country, not the country to you. And for the record if you live in another country thats not your own, you are an immigrant like everyone else is. Not an expat.
@@ALFRABEIRA I LOVE Portugal and not going anywhere anytime soon! If you watched until the end, you would have seen that 🙂
When in Rome do what the Romans do , you can’t change ways and people , you have to change and adapt, happens all over the world
