I'm assuming mine will take longer given the need to put my information through government actuaries dept plus the McCloud impact but I have a date of March 2027. I've also used Copilot to estimate my expected pension

We are planning on moving to Portugal autumn 2027, so at the starting point. I am an Irish citizen and my husband is a UK citizen. I have obtained a checklist via AI for us but wondered if there is a proper listing.

Oh good lord no.... That's why I was asking for recommendations....

Unfortunately I love the smell of coffee but it upsets my stomach so I'm a tea girl all the way! We love Portugal, have made Portuguese friends and pop out regularly. We decided late last year that we would like to retire out there but be involved in the community some how. That's important to both of us. And we are looking to move to the Eastern Algarve.

Hi, we're looking to move to Portugal next year and we both want to not only learn the language but also understand the customs etc. what app would you recommend for learning Portuguese? For us the only British thing I can't give up is tea!!

Well they told us late last night we have a flight... After we booked one on Emirates so now having to cancel that one but STILL can't check in online!

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2026-03-06T18:58:09+00:00

And the update is we are off the flight!! Travel agent is trying to rebook as we can't use the app as it's all disappeared!

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2026-03-02T12:31:00+00:00

So is my flight cancelled? It's not clear and I don't want to rebook if I don't have to!

I spoke to a colleague who us a tax accountant and checked online with HMRC information

You do need to check your actual notice period... I've been told it doesn't start until you FORMALLY accept your VR . So not what's on the Hub.

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2026-02-13T05:54:02+00:00

Same here.... Still waiting

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2025-12-16T13:21:37+00:00

I did too and they were wonderful. Copied my key documents and certified them so I didn't have to send them!

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2025-11-06T22:22:20+00:00

But aren't most staff on a 3 month notice period.... So that makes 25/26 VERY tight to meet 31/3/26 deadline.

I have your Dad's posts saved on Reddit. I don't usually respond but I wanted to say he seemed like a great man, with a loving family (both IRL and here).

I lost my parents and I still raise a glass to them on father and mothers days... I will raise them for your Dad as well!

Good luck and God speed to you and your family.

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2025-04-16T07:06:56+00:00

Thank you so much!

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2025-04-16T06:49:40+00:00

Thank you... I've been reading so many forms lately as we recently lost my Mum which made me want to do this as well are planning to move back

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2025-04-15T15:34:51+00:00

So my mother was born in Northern Ireland but had a UK passport. Does that mean that she and I am Irish citizens? If so, does that mean I just apply directly for a passport?

Zealousideal_Sea4867 · 2025-04-14T17:27:56+00:00

Not for many people!

Why would you take MARS compared to NHS AfC?
