My company offered a Lisbon transfer, but the package does not fully cover international school. We have two children. Once I add tuition, registration fees, lunch, uniforms, transport, activities, and housing near the school, the opportunity feels much less attractive. Did anyone reject or renegotiate a Lisbon move because of school costs?

We renegotiated. School was not a side expense; it was the move. My employer talked about salary, relocation flight, and temporary housing, but tuition for two kids changed everything. I sent them a real annual cost estimate and asked directly. They did not cover everything, but they increased support enough to make the move possible.

Do not assume a seat is available just because you can pay. Application timing matters too.

We almost accepted too quickly. Then a parent told us: get school numbers in writing before you get emotionally attached to Lisbon. Best advice.
