Writer, work, business and driving
Degree in International Business, Université Paris Dauphine-PSL, Paris
Steve McKendry writes the guides on working, building a business and driving in Portugal for Americans and Britons who are moving. His work covers the questions that come once the visa is settled: employment contracts and social security, setting up as a freelancer or a company, working remotely for a foreign employer, and the road side of the move.
He studied International Business at Université Paris Dauphine-PSL in Paris, where he focused on cross-border employment and the practical side of running a small business abroad. He has worked in international business development and reads employment, tax and traffic rules in English and French.
His method is the site's: every figure and deadline comes from the competent authority's own page, is linked in the text and carries its date.
His work is practical information, not legal or tax advice. When a situation calls for an employment lawyer or an adviser, he says so and helps you prepare for that meeting.
