Practical checklist

Internet and backup
Test the connection where you will actually work in Lisbon, and have a backup: a local SIM with data, a second network or a coworking space nearby.
Coworking and community
Find a coworking space or community before you arrive. Other builders keep you sharp and make a new place feel like home faster.
Safety per neighbourhood
Safety differs per neighbourhood in every city. Research the specific area you will live and work in, not just the city.
Flights
Check direct and one-stop connections to where your clients, friends and family are, so a visit or an urgent trip stays easy.
Rules for staying
Check the official visa and residence rules for your nationality before you book. They differ per passport and change over time.
