Scotland may be the historic home of golf, but more and more Scots are now dreaming of a home on the golf course in Portugal — where championship-level greens meet 300 days of sunshine, relaxed living, and outstanding lifestyle opportunities.

This growing trend will take centre stage at the Moving to Portugal Show & Seminars, arriving at The Scotsman Hotel in Edinburgh on Friday, 21st November 2025. Organised by the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK, this free event will give visitors practical, expert-led guidance on everything from retirement planning and investment to relocation and lifestyle opportunities.

Portugal has become one of the world’s most desirable destinations for golfers and lifestyle seekers alike. With more than 75 courses, world-class facilities, and year-round sunshine, it was named both Europe’s and the World’s Best Golf Destination at the 2024 World Golf Awards — for the third consecutive year.

“Scots already have a strong connection with golf, so it’s no surprise they are looking to combine that passion with Portugal’s relaxed lifestyle, excellent healthcare, and tax benefits,” says Christina Hippisley, General Manager of the Portuguese Chamber of Commerce in the UK. “The Moving to Portugal Show in Edinburgh brings together all the expert advice you need — from legal and tax guidance to real estate purchase and relocation support — all under one roof.”

On the day of the Show, attendees will have the chance to meet trusted specialists covering visa and residency pathways, wealth management and tax planning, property investment, healthcare, education, and lifestyle integration. Exhibitors include Garvetur, one of Portugal’s leading property firms, and Belli International Real Estate, a Scotland-based property agency with a strong track record of helping Scots find and buy their dream homes internationally — including those nestled on golf courses in Portugal.

Whether the dream is retiring to the Algarve, investing in a Lisbon apartment, or finding a villa overlooking the fairways, the Edinburgh Moving to Portugal Show offers a unique opportunity to gather the insights, connections, and support needed to make the move with confidence.

Doors open at 12:30, with expert-led seminars beginning at 14:00. Free registration is now open at https://MTP-Edinburgh.eventbrite.co.uk
