When we moved to Portugal, we had a few unforeseen issues that cost money; however much you research and prepare, something will likely get you.

To feel ok about it all, I consign these costs to the 'immigration' account. They look smaller there.
We got toasted in property transfer tax as our lawyer assumed we were not PT residents at time of sale.

We missed the widow to import our big van without duty, so had to sell at an ultra low price. We lost several thousand on that one.

You're changing countries, excrement happens.
My advice is to accept that there will be unforeseen costs and try not to get too stressed out.

How can you do this in 1 day?
Did they check your papers right away? And did you receive a document with your new plate number? Did the procedure change?

You have been given a load of crap that you would rather believe and as you are paying the agent then you believe any thing he says.

Don't believe what I say Go to the Customs and get the truth.
