Efficient European moving solutions for emigrating  to Portugal

Discover the optimal way to move efficiently and affordably across Europe with our international moving services. We specialise in global relocations, catering specifically to individuals moving from the Nordics. Choose our combined transports, where your household goods are transported efficiently with other families belongings, offering a sustainable solution. Whether you're relocating to Portugal with family or venturing on a solo journey, you can rely on us for a personalised approach.

When planning your move to Portugal, we recommend contacting us at least 6 weeks before your expected move date. This time frame ensures we have sufficient time for meticulous planning and preparations. Typical transit times from the Nordics for moves to Southern Europe, including Portugal, generally range from 7 to 14 days door-to-door. If more time is required between loading and delivery, we offer storage options to accommodate your needs.

Requirements when moving to Portugal

To provide you with the most precise cost estimate for your move to Portugal, we'll conduct a pre-move survey. This assessment allows us to gauge the volume of your belongings, evaluate the accessibility of your current residence, and identify any delicate items that may require special handling or packing materials.

Moving to Portugal within the EU is a seamless process, as no customs formalities are required for used household goods and personal effects. Our experienced team will expertly guide you through customs procedures if you're moving from outside the EU, ensuring a hassle-free experience as you embark on your journey to Portugal. You can also find detailed customs information on importing household goods from this link as provided by the FIDI association, the largest global alliance of international moving and relocation companies.

To ensure a smooth and well-prepared relocation to Portugal, we encourage you to reach out to us early in your planning process. Whether you're moving to Lisbon, Porto, or another picturesque Portuguese destination, our dedicated team is here to assist you every step of the way.
