First Living in the Algarve Live Seminar happens this April 14, with expert speakers on taxation, residency, legal matters and more
– April 1, 2022
The first in a series of events by the Living in the Algarve is being organised by the Open Media Group, publishers of the Portugal Resident, will be held on Thursday, April 14 at the Tivoli Carvoeiro hotel.
The events are planned primarily to attract visitors to the Algarve who may be considering either moving here or buying a home with a view to living here, along with local foreign residents who may wish to learn more about various aspects of living in the region.
Expert speakers will be on hand at this first event, such as Gavin Scott, senior partner of Blevins Franks in Portugal, who will be talking about tax issues affecting expats living here with a focus on the NHR (non-habitual residence scheme).

The seminar will be hosted and moderated by Open Media’s CEO Bruce Hawker who himself has lived in the Algarve for over 40 years

There will be two identical seminar sessions held at 11am and 3pm with plenty of time before and after each session for guests to meet the speakers and members of their teams.
This first event will be followed by more Living in the Algarve seminars to be held at different venues soon to be announced along the Algarve, with five events planned per year.
“This is a project that has been on the back-burner for us during the Covid pandemic,” said Bruce Hawker. “We had all five venues booked for our 2020 events and had to cancel everything at the last minute when Covid hit. But we are thrilled to finally be ready to stage our first event and, together with our event partners, we look forward to helping many foreign nationals learn more about living here.”
