About The Expat News

The Expat News publishes short, practical English-language briefings for the international community living in and around Lisbon and Cascais. We follow official Portuguese sources — municipalities, transport operators, the immigration service (AIMA), civil protection and more — and explain what actually changes for you.

Editorial standards

We do not copy or translate full articles. Every briefing is written in original English, summarises the facts, explains why it matters for international residents, and links back to the official source.

Sensitive topics

Immigration, tax, legal, health and safety topics are handled with extra care and clearly marked. Our briefings are general information only and are not legal, tax, medical or immigration advice. Always confirm with the relevant official body before making decisions.
