Hello-I have been reading this forum for months, this is my first post. My husband and I are retiring to Coimbra from NY at the end of December after spending last April driving around Portugal. I am an American citizen and my husband is an Englishman who has been living in NY for 20 years, so we have an interesting situation. No visa needed, but will buy private health insurance. We have joined AFPOP and I am looking into Medal Insurance policies but not sure what interim insurance we will need. I am looking for a lawyer or some kind of advocate to help us navigate the paperwork. We will be looking for a long term house rental in the Miranda do Corvo/Penela area until we find a renovated property to buy. We will be shipping a "classic" Jeep over but will also need to buy a new more practical car asap after arriving. So basically I am asking any experience regarding shipping from NY, legal help, buying cars, long term rentals and health care in the Coimbra region. Thanks!
