Real estate speculation by foreigners is making impossible for locals to buy or rent a house

With such low wages, things have to be affordable. I lived in Portugal a few years ago, and I absolutely hated it. The country is absolutely beautiful. My biggest issue was the people. I found them cold and racist. They are all about their colonial past.
Americans tend to romanticize Europe. I would
not trade the US for Portugal. The US has a lot of issues, but no place is perfect.

Why on earth would US americans come to live in Portugal???

Exploring why Americans are leaving Portugal in record numbers sheds light on important migration trends. Thanks for delving into this topic and providing valuable insights!

Consider factors like cost of living and lifestyle preferences in retirement planning. Understanding migration trends helps make informed decisions.

when you emigrate to any country you are suposed to learn the language and not live waitng for the country to learn your language . all you say is true but happens to any emigrant in any country you have to adapt to there reality. sorry friend you have no ideia

This article is a little generic. Anyone moving to another country has to face the fact - IT’S NOT LIKE HOME, DOROTHY! Here in EUROPE we have multiple cultures, multiple languages, multiple climates and all changing within a few hundred kilometres in some cases. In the USA there a similar concept but the homogeneity of its culture provides the feeling of not having really traveled beyond its borders. Bottom line - want it like “home”, then stay at home! It’s not difficult.

I don't understand. You want international schools but don't want to pay??? You want all social benefits but you don't want to contribute???? You're annoyed with local life-style yet expect them to carry the burden for you and smile?? Apartments are not nice cause you can't afford the good ones? I admire the audacity.

Seriously? Are Americans leaving Portugal in record numbers? Is it a statistic or guesswork? Aren't they also arriving in record numbers? What will be the balance? Anyway, I hope that those who stay are the best and that those who leave take away good memories

yes, my mother and i were going to move to Portugal to retire. while we didn't expect a very cheep life style, while being Dubble taxed are a social security check, it is cheaper to stay in America.

Taxes, crime & lack of essential resources, ie: health care.

Is this sponsored by Dave in Portugal and Air France? They're featured a lot in this video.

Americans leaving in droves??? What a joke...many leave, more come. Hence why so many Portuguese cant even find a rental!

Man, I can't watch this video and not think that you have something against Brazil.
For foreigners, paying for a private healthcare system is so cheap and they will have access to great quality.
Not to mention that he will have access to the best of Brazil due to the fact that the currency has a large difference in value, allowing him to go to the best restaurants and have access to the best accommodation.
Crime is present in the lower social classes, meaning if you are going to the right places you won't have any problems.
What I think is bad is in relation to electronics that are very expensive here, like a TV or an Apple smartphone due to import taxes.

Really well done video, as an immigrant I feel represented in many of those feelings. Emigrating is definitely not for everyone, an idealized thought that probably won't come true. The important thing at all times is, regardless, to love the country that somehow welcomes us or the one we have chosen to emigrate to. If the balance indicates that it is better to return or change countries, pack our bags and move forward in search of what we want, for us and our children.

Building quality of houses isn't good. Income and expenses do not match.

[leoleone.]

The sooner they leave the better! There're already way too many Muricans living in Portugal.
