Howdy
 

Hi from UK (Kent coast)

Originally from Durban, SA

Looking to move to Portugal (Algarve - Silves, Alte, Sao Bras De Alporto area) under D7 visa early next year.

climate and access to mtb trails/off-road biking and beaches are big attractions

Hi, and welcome to the forum from me :)

You're sure of another warm welcome on the Portugal forum if you want to pop in there to discuss any matters you're unsure of. Hope to see more of you over there.

Thanks Eric

Welcome to BE
We do ask new members to have a read of the forum rules Site Rules | British Expatriate Community (britishexpats.com) and should you have any site related problems please contact one of the moderators, names in bold at the bottom right of each forum page.

Thanks Mike

I did have some reply's on the Portugal forum deleted, but hopefully that's now resolved.

Hi. Welcome to BE. My mother was from Durban too, and I know the city well. We lived in Jhb for 30 + years, both my kids were born there, and we visited 'granny' often.

Thanks Martyn. Haven't been to SA for a number of years so looking forward to planning a trip at some stage. Been across to France for the rugby recently and plenty of saffers at the games.
