Settle Lisbon

Follows a family's move to Portugal alongside setting up affairs in Armenia — not from the visa side, but from the side of daily life after relocation. It looks more closely than most not at the residence permit as a document, but at what a family runs into after getting one: mortgages, real estate agents, bank accounts. It deliberately skips visa mechanics and instead checks how much a decision that looks simple on paper actually costs. That means how to pick a real estate agent and what to watch for when buying property in Portugal, which housing costs usually go unmentioned, and how banks and compliance departments react to a mortgage application. Separately, it covers opening a sole proprietorship and bank account in Armenia — what takes two days and what drags on for months. Visa procedures and legal status details are not the point here — this is about everyday life after the move.
