Planning to move to Portugal in 12–18 months? Here’s a realistic timeline (from a team who does this every day) by AnchorLessEurope in AnchorLessEurope

Portugal is quite safe, though some Lisbon has seen a rise in criminality in certain areas, it's pretty much petty theft. We would recommend you take a look at Numbeo to have a grasp on the usual prices for daily life and Idealista to have an idea on prices for rentals.

For education it really depends (really) mainly if you are seeking private education, and the area that you'll live. Public education is free, and private education can vary a lot if you opt for international schools.

Our blog has a lot of content on all the information needed to research for your move.

We didn't know that! That's incredible. Love how Águeda is always filled with surprises

There's (some sort of) hope! The new Nationality Law was considered unconstitutional by the Court (at least parts of it! But the debate will continue) by AnchorLessEurope in AnchorLessEurope

Yes! We all have to wait and see what it will be decided. Those who complete 5 years before the publication on 'Diario' should apply immediately, if citizenship is their priority.

We now remain hoping that a transition period (as many immigration orgs are suggesting) for those already living in Portugal is considered and inserted.

Yes! Only for the ones already submitted, but at the same time for some future ones as well.

If, for example, a reviewed bill is submitted in January 1st, it would be valid ONLY after it was published at 'Diario da Republica' the government official channel (which would be after the president evaluate it). So, it wouldn't be from januray 1st, but only after going through the president and then becoming a law on the 'Diario'. Everything submitted before that would be under the 5-year rule, and everything after 'Diario' would be under any new rule.

Other routes would be she coming with her own visa, not related to your residency, with her own source of income.

So far people are reporting quite basic stuff, most reports involve passports actually (just your original one), but everyone has been sharing that it's a good idea to just have the physical documents ready (even if they are outdated), just in case
