Moving to Portugal

Moving to Portugal requires careful planning, depending on your volume. If it's large, hire professional movers!

When moving to Portugal, take the time to select what you are taking with you and choose your transporter carefully. Have an adviser come to your home to assess the volume to be transported.

Think about selling things too! It can be cheaper to buy on the spot than to take things away. Even if you have to change!

Identify objects or anything that will require special precautions (special packaging and wrapping). You'll also need to specify what you'll be taking care of yourself (dismantling furniture, packing crockery, etc.). To ensure a smooth move and get a clear, detailed quote, use the services of a professional like MTN-déménagement, which we recommend.

The quotation must include several essential points

• the departure address - the place where the goods are to be collected
• address of arrival in Portugal
• volume
• type of transport
• the carrier's services
• the price.

In general, your belongings will be delivered directly to your home. Make sure that the carrier does not stop at a storage point, as you will be responsible for the rest of the journey. Beware of additional charges for home delivery. Be sure to validate this point beforehand!

Next, you need to draw up a list of your belongings, as complete as possible, so that you can draw up a "declaration of value", a document used to establish compensation in the event of loss or damage to your possessions. You will have to fill it in yourself, specifying the overall value of your possessions as well as the value of certain items that may exceed the contractual limit of value per object. An estimate cannot be drawn up without this declaration of value, which will obviously compromise your move and your organisation.

Finally, you will need to sign the "consignment note" on delivery. This letter sets out the terms of the contract, the mode of transport, the volume transported, the name and address of the customer and the transport company. By signing this letter, you give the removal firm the go-ahead to load the goods and terminate your contract on delivery.

It is common practice to pay removal costs in two instalments: a deposit is paid on loading and the balance on delivery. You can also pay in a single instalment, or as agreed with the transporter.

The carrier will take care of the administrative formalities for your move (customs clearance).
