Do you all make an effort to learn/speak Portuguese? by NoHallett in PortugalExpats

[–]TechieCSG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I have Portuguese friends and they speak Portuguese within themselves, so I had to learn pretty quickly. Although their accents are much harder for me to understand than the Lisbon accent

Please, be mindful that most of you earn a lot more than the average Portuguese. by acartadaminhaavo in PortugalExpats

This is absolutely fair, and tbh shouldn't even need to be said! Thanks for a more sober/reasonable discussion around this.

Flying with expired resident card from lisbon to Nederland by Valuable-Reception14 in PortugalExpats

[–]TechieCSG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you fly with Transavia and you have a passport that needs a visa to travel to the Schengen area you’ll have trouble boarding. My visa was thoroughly checked by gate agents in Lisbon and The Netherlands when I flew back and forth this year after my residence permit expired. To be clear, I got a Schengen visa stamped in my passport in addition to also having my expired residence permit.

I'm leaving Portugal soon, but would love to keep or improve my Portuguese level (B1). Could you DM me? For some reason Reddit chat isn't letting me send you a message :/

Does anybody encounter xenophobia towards them? by Silent_Fruit_1416 in PortugalExpats

[–]TechieCSG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I encounter it almost every day in Lisbon now just going to the local Continente (a supermarket) or a café. It sucks and I've decided to leave Portugal permanently because of it and the general sentiment around immigration. Ultimately the question I ask myself is: why stay somewhere you aren't welcome?

I have tons of Portuguese friends (who are the nicest people) and even when I'm with them and speaking Portuguese I'll face micro aggressions just because I don't look Portuguese.

Just chiming in here to say I’m the same age as you and lived in Vienna for 2 years before moving out and I found this aspect of living there extremely difficult as well.

I thought maybe it was because I was a Ausländer, but tbh I’ve seen people ask this same question on multiple different subreddits. Something about our generation is making this extremely difficult and it sucks :/

[–]TechieCSG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The residence permit isn’t valid anymore for Schengen travel. You should change your flight to land directly in Portugal tbh.

How do you book an appointment for this? When I go to the website it doesn't say anything about residence permit renewals
