Logistics — Mail, Moving, Shipping for Americans in Portugal

Logistics

The full logistics stack — keeping a U.S. address, moving your stuff to Portugal, and connecting from day one in Lisbon.

A move to Portugal involves more than the visa. You need a U.S. address that still works for IRS / brokerage / DMV, ways to ship your stuff or just suitcases, cellular service the moment you land, and home-exchange options once you’ve settled. The partners below cover that full stack.
