        Why so? Genuinely curious. The US passport is the most reputable passport out there. And if you’re under 26, many countries will just accept you staying there for a year or two until you find a job.

            Is that all just for a work visa? Or are you trying to become Portuguese too? Sounds like a lot for a visa.

            spending time living over there (usually 180-300 days a year, minimum)

            What’s this for?

            There’s also the level 2 language test required pretty much anywhere you go that doesn’t speak English as a primary language

            That’s for a work visa? I live in Europe and worked with a few US Americans - none could speak the local language - not even a bit. If passing a language test were a requirement, they never would’ve gotten the work visa.

            I hope it won’t be the same for me when I move outside of the EU. If everything you’re describing is necessary for a work visa, goddamn, I don’t know how our parents put up with it.
