Living in Washington, in the U.S., Patrick and his family had previously visited Portugal and fell in love with the Algarve region.
"When we fell in love with Portugal, we didn't know how to make it our home. The legal processes were confusing, and we also had our kids' futures to think about. Portugal Pathways made it all clear. They helped us pick the right visa, guided us through every step, and even found ways for us to save on taxes. Now, we're living in our beautiful villa in Lagos, visiting family in Seville, Spain, whenever we want, as it's an easy drive.''
They had also frequently visited their close relatives in Seville, Spain, which eventually sparked their desire to relocate to Portugal. However, as U.S. citizens, the intricacies of acquiring citizenship and dealing with regulations and tax systems seemed overwhelming. They mainly wanted to know how they could reside in Portugal while still having the ability to visit their family across the border in Spain.

The prospect of navigating a foreign immigration process was challenging, and they had no idea where to begin. The family also has two children, aged 15 and 11, who need education access.
