Moving to Portugal from the U.S.?
We help you land, settle, and feel at home in the Algarve.
Relocating to a new country is exciting, but it is rarely simple.
Different systems, unfamiliar rules, another language, and a bureaucracy that works nothing like the one you are used to can quickly turn a fresh start into an ongoing source of friction.
Let Us Help exists to remove that friction.
We support Americans who are moving to, or have recently moved to, the Algarve by taking care of the practical, administrative, and organisational details that make daily life run smoothly in Portugal.
Not as a call center.
Not as a one-off fixer.
But as a reliable, long-term point of support you can trust.
Why Americans choose Portugal, and where things usually get stuck
Portugal offers safety, quality of life, a slower pace, and strong communities. Many Americans come here looking for exactly that.
What they often do not expect is:
• How fragmented and document-driven everyday administration is
• How difficult it can be to get clear answers in English
• How much depends on local relationships rather than formal processes
• How time-consuming “simple” tasks can become without local context
​
This is where we step in.​
Why work with Let Us Help
-
We live here and know how things really work
-
We speak English fluently and Portuguese at a professional level
-
We are independent and not tied to specific providers
-
We value clarity, follow-through, and reliability over quick promises
-
We build long-term relationships, not transactions
Most of our clients come to us through recommendation.
That is not accidental.
Language is rarely the real barrier
Most Americans assume Portuguese will be the main challenge.
In reality, language is only part of the equation.
​
What complicates matters more:
-
Nuance gets lost in translation
-
Responsibilities are spread across multiple parties
-
Follow-up is expected but not always initiated
-
Silence often means “still pending”, not “no”
-
Clear communication requires more than shared vocabulary.
When everyday tasks start taking more energy than expected
Many practical matters seem straightforward at first. Setting things up, registering, arranging appointments.
What tends to happen over time:
-
Small issues remain unresolved
-
Tasks get postponed because they feel disproportionate
-
You start working around problems instead of solving them
-
Administrative loose ends quietly pile up
This is usually when people reach out to us.
How we work
Our starting point is always simple:
​
“How can I help?”
​
From there, we look for a solution that actually works in the Portuguese context.
Sometimes that means doing things ourselves. Sometimes it means connecting you to the right people and staying involved to make sure it gets done properly.
​
We are proactive, discreet, and structured.
We focus on outcomes that make daily life simpler, not more complex.
Pricing
The Help You Need, Priced to Fit
Most clients start with simple hourly support. You use the time exactly when you need it, for whatever needs to be arranged. No commitments, no fixed structure, just reliable help at a clear hourly rate.
Some weeks it is dealing with institutions or organising appointments, other weeks it is coordination at home, sourcing items, or solving practical issues. You decide the priority, we handle the work.
If you prefer predictable, reserved time each month, we also offer monthly packages. These give you guaranteed service hours and steady continuity, especially useful when there is an ongoing project or a period with more moving parts.
• Hourly support: €50 per hour
• Monthly package, 5 hours: €215
• Monthly package, 10 hours: €400
​
Please note: All prices are quoted exclusive of VAT.
You can switch packages anytime if your needs change.
