      Maria’s story: Bristol to Porto felt like magic

      Maria Fernandes, an operations lead from Bristol, almost gave up on relocating to Portugal after facing post-Brexit red tape and a string of unreliable movers. “I lost sleep imagining my grandmother’s walnut dresser getting crushed or held up at customs,” she recalls.

      MuveOne changed everything with their door-to-door customs expertise, specifically designed for Brexit-related residency transfers. Their transparent cubic metre calculator helped Maria pack efficiently within her 10m³ budget, while real-time tracking updates kept her calm during the 24-hour journey. “Watching my boxes move smoothly from Bristol to Porto felt like magic,” she shares.

      The £12/hour driver assistance meant Maria’s partner could manage their toddler while professionals handled bulky items. Full insurance coverage protected her heirlooms and work files, letting her focus on settling into coastal life. “No chaos, no hidden fees—just blue skies from start to finish,” Maria says, now hiking Portugal’s cliff trails most mornings.

      Saving money on your removals to Portugal: How MuveOne delivers affordable european removals

      Moving from the UK to Portugal requires a removal service that combines affordability with reliability. MuveOne simplifies international relocation through a cost-efficient, transparent approach tailored for budget-conscious individuals and families seeking value without compromising service quality.

      Save with streamlined solutions

      MuveOne’s no-frills model focuses on essential removal services, eliminating unnecessary costs while maintaining efficiency:

      Stress-free compliance

      Post-Brexit relocations to Portugal require meticulous adherence to customs regulations. MuveOne guides customers through the Transfer of Residence process, helping avoid 23% import VAT by ensuring documentation meets Portuguese requirements.

      Built for peace of mind

      • Full insurance coverage: Belongings remain protected door-to-door, whether transporting family heirlooms or children’s essentials.

      • 24-hour average transit: Fuel-efficient vans (Renault Master/Fiat Ducato) ensure swift delivery across 29 European countries.

      • Deposit-friendly payments: Secure bookings with 25% upfront, settling the balance on collection day.

      By prioritising essential services over premium add-ons, MuveOne makes removals to Portugal 30% more affordable than traditional providers. This stripped-back approach lets you allocate savings toward settling into Portugal’s sunny lifestyle—whether funding a new garden, children’s education, or coastal retirement.

      Smooth customs clearance for your removals to Portugal

      Relocating to Portugal involves navigating complex post-Brexit customs procedures – a challenge we simplify through our all-inclusive removals service. As specialists in UK-to-EU moves, MuveOne manages every aspect of customs clearance with fixed-price transparency. Our team secures essential Transfer of Residence approvals to exempt your personal goods from Portugal’s 23% import VAT, while handling time-sensitive documentation like NIF registration and residency certificates.

      We’ve streamlined the process for British retirees, professionals and families alike, combining 8 years of EU relocation expertise with digital tracking tools. From validating your 12-month UK residency evidence to coordinating with Portuguese Alfândega officials, we prevent common pitfalls like storage fees or inspection delays. Your dedicated move coordinator ensures declared values match insurance requirements while maintaining full compliance with 2025 SEF regulations.

      Your essential documentation checklist

      To qualify for duty-free Transfer of Residence status, you’ll need:

      • Proof of UK residency for 12+ months via council tax bills or bank statements

      • Portuguese fiscal number (NIF) for tax identification

      • Completed baggage certificate from Portuguese authorities

      • Residency confirmation (“Atestado de Residencia”) from your local parish

      • Valid passport and visa documentation (non-EU citizens)

      • Detailed inventory with item values and dimensions

      We guide you through obtaining the mandatory Transfer of Residence approval, which must be secured before your move date. This status confirms your goods are personal effects rather than commercial imports.

      Why proper clearance matters

      Without Transfer of Residence approval:

      • 23% VAT applies to all item values

      • Customs may impound goods for inspection

      • Average clearance delays extend to 6-8 weeks

      • Storage fees accrue during processing

      Our specialists cross-check every document against current SEF (Immigration and Borders Service) requirements, including the recent 2025 update mandating digital submission of customs declarations.

      Budget-friendly compliance

      While some providers suggest declaring low values to reduce taxes, we maintain full transparency. Our approach:

      • Uses legitimate duty exemptions

      • Maintains accurate insurance valuations

      • Avoids retrospective penalty risks

      With 1,000+ successful EU moves since Brexit, we resolve common issues like missing NIF numbers or expired residency certificates before they delay your shipment.
