Trip to Portugal
Your relocation is complete!
Věděli jste, že německý občan ke svému pobytu v Portugalsku nepotřebuje vízum??
Jelikož jsou obě země součástí Evropské unie, mají němečtí občané právo žít a pracovat v Portugalsku bez jakýchkoli vízových náležitostí. Pro získání dokladu o pobytu budete muset navštívit místní úřad, kde plánujete trvale bydliště založit. Tento doklad potvrdí, že jste nyní rezidentem dané oblasti a tudíž i Portugalska.
Pro ty, kteří plánují pobyt delší než krátkodobá návštěva, tento jednoduchý doklad o pobytu zaručuje, že jste uznáni jako rezident, což vám umožňuje využívat místní služby a plně se integrovat do společnosti.

Portugal, a charming and compact country, is roughly the size of Bavaria, providing a familiar sense of scale for those considering relocation. It ensures a high quality of life with a wide range of activities available, making it a wonderful place to explore and enjoy your time abroad.
The Atlantic Ocean borders Portugal to the south and west, while Spain borders it to the north and east. Despite its size, it has a population of about 10 million, comparable to the population of Lower Saxony.
Portugal is world-renowned for its rich cuisine and stunning locations, including diverse beaches, mountains, and national parks. The Mediterranean climate offers a welcome change from Germany's continental weather, with over 300 days of sunshine per year.
While the official language is Portuguese—a Latin language similar to Spanish or Italian—it is common to find English-speaking inhabitants, especially given the country's high tourist rate. Many Portuguese also speak German, particularly in tourist areas and business centers, due to the strong economic ties between Germany and Portugal.
Portugal's quality of life is renowned for its tranquility, even in urban areas. A lower cost of living compared to German cities, affordable or free healthcare (easily accessible with your European Health Insurance Card), accessible services, and a prime geographic location support the high quality of life.
There are several compelling reasons for German citizens to consider moving to Portugal, from the welcoming culture to the economic advantages and international community. As EU citizens, Germans enjoy the freedom of movement, requiring no visa or special permits to live and work in Portugal, making the relocation process significantly simpler than for non-EU citizens.
Jako občan EU mají Němci právo žít a pracovat v Portugalsku bez nutnosti víza. Přesto je však třeba splnit určité administrativní kroky, aby bylo možné získat legální pobyt.
Prvním krokem bude shromáždění základních dokumentů potřebných k získání trvalého pobytu v Portugalsku:
Pro založení svého života v Portugalsku budete potřebovat získat následující dokumenty:
Jako občan EU, který pobývá déle než 3 měsíce, musíte:
Zaregistrujte se na místním městském úřadě (Obecním úřadě):
Máte 30 dní po uplynutí 3 měsíců od zahájení pobytu na to, abyste se zaregistrovali.
Požadované dokumenty pro registraci:
Po legálním pobytu v Portugalsku po dobu 5 nepřetržitých let:
Po 5 letech legálního pobytu můžete žádat o portugalské občanství a zároveň si ponechat své německé občanství, protože obě země umožňují dvojí občanství. Hlavními požadavky jsou:
Důležité tipy:
Pamatujte, že jako občan EU máte proces výrazně jednodušší než neobčané EUMáte právo žít a pracovat v Portugalsku již od prvního dne a registrační proces je převážně administrativní povahy, nikoli žádost o vízum.
