Neighborhood Fit Audit: Choose the Portuguese Town That Protects Your Visa, Wallet & Well‑Being

Picking the right Portuguese neighborhood is as strategic as choosing the visa type. This episode teaches nomads a practical, repeatable Neighborhood Fit Audit that balances three hard requirements (visa evidence, affordable housing, stable internet) with three soft needs (energy-friendly routines, local social access, grooming & healthcare proximity). Over nine minutes Mateus explains how to map micro‑regions, score them against visa and lifestyle priorities, avoid common selection mistakes (cheap seaside traps, tourist-only rentals, long commutes), and pick a neighborhood that reduces bureaucracy stress while boosting routines, appearance and community building. You’ll get a 3‑step audit you can run in under a week, a real nomad example showing the decision tradeoffs, and one immediate action to move forward today. Feasible, tactical, and tailored for D7/D8 applicants and nomads building a sustainable life in Portugal.
