Giving Birth Abroad - Living in Portugal & Expat Life
Navigating the healthcare system in Portugal as an expat living in Portugal, particularly when expecting a baby, involves understanding the importance of health insurance and the intricacies of local medical practices. For some, cultural nuances, such as the unique naming conventions in Portugal, can be a significant consideration. Living abroad and enjoying expat life for some may even come along with the process of registering a newborn's birth, a unique experience that not all will have to experience. The concept of dual citizenship also comes into play, with the bureaucratic procedures involved in reporting a birth to multiple countries. The complexities of these experiences can highlight the challenges and rewards of starting a family abroad. In this expat podcast episode of Not Your Average Globetrotter hosted by Rafael Di Furia, we'll talk with second-time guests Kathleen and Richard Lo (from Bordr.com) about their recent experience of having a child while living in Portugal.
