What do expats find most challenging?

"Expats in Evora may find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture, as not everyone speaks English, and learning Portuguese can be difficult. They might also struggle with the slower pace of life, as locals tend to be more relaxed and less focused on punctuality. Additionally, expats may find it challenging to navigate the bureaucracy and paperwork involved in various aspects of life, such as obtaining residency permits, setting up utilities, and dealing with taxes. Cultural differences in social norms and etiquette, such as greeting customs and personal space, can also be challenging for expats to adapt to. Finally, some expats may find it difficult to make local friends and integrate into the community, as Portuguese people can be initially reserved and may take time to open up to newcomers," commented one expat who made the move to Evora, Portugal.
