How can I move to Portugal from the US?

To live in Portugal, you must have a Portuguese residence permit. A residence permit can be obtained if you find work in the country, enroll in a long-term course of studies, marry a Portuguese citizen, or invest in Portugal's economy. You can live and work in Portugal freely if you're an EU citizen.
