Introducing the USA to Portugal project planning kit
My wife and I recently moved from the USA to Portugal on the D7 visa. Prior to our big move, I worked 27 years for a Fortune 200 company in e-commerce project management, which gave me the chance to use modern online project management tools for complex projects, such as planning an overseas move.
There are many online communities for Americans planning a move to Portugal, and I see the same problems and the same struggles come up over and over. That's why I've created the USA to Portugal planning kit. I applied a lot of what I learned in the corporate world to build and refine a project management system built specifically to help reduce the friction and stress that comes from planning and managing a move to Portugal.
What problems does this solve?
- Obtaining a D7 visa, or the new D8 digital nomad visa requires completing several steps in a specific order and with specific timing.
- An international move involves a lot of steps and requires considerable attention to detail.
- You will need to learn many new things along the way: keeping track of all that information can be challenging.
What is this free planning kit?
- It is an online project management system specifically configured to help you move to Portugal.
- The planning kit helps you track of all the tasks in this project, and also store notes & digital documents.
- It is your “second brain” for you and your family.
- This planning kit uses the popular online workspace system Notion.so and will work great with the free Notion plan.
Key features of the free USA to Portugal planning kit
- Track key dates such as your VFS appointment, moving date, and SEF appointment date.
- All tasks for each key date will automatically synch to that date.
- Comes pre-populated with tasks for a typical move to Portugal using the D7 visa.
- Easy to customize to match your specific circumstances.
- Store important information, such as notes from phone calls or research findings.
- Track important contact information and website bookmarks.
- Store online copies of all important documents.
- Easy to collaborate with your spouse/partner.
Important things to remember:
- Remove tasks that do not apply to you
- Add missing tasks that do apply to you. For example, if you have school age children, you will need to add tasks for schools.
- Modify existing tasks to match your needs.
If you find you could use some additional help customizing the planning kit to meet your specific needs, I do offer 30-minute one-on-one training sessions to answer any questions you might have. Each session costs $40, or $49.20 after Portuguese IVA/VAT. You can schedule an appointment and we'll meet over Zoom to walk through the process.
