What we cover

Immigration support that sits next to work, company and life plans.

  • Residence permits

    A residence file needs the right category, complete documents and careful follow up. We help you read which path fits your situation and prepare the paperwork in a clear order.

    Support covers entrepreneurs, their families where the file requires it, remote and passive income routes, and clients whose stay in Portugal is tied to work, company activity or investment. You get practical notes on what is ready and what still needs attention.

  • Portuguese nationality

    Nationality applications turn on legal grounds, evidence and timing. We review eligibility for your situation and help you build a structured document file.

    Each case is assessed on its facts. Recent law changes mean some applicants face longer residence requirements than before. We do not promise outcomes or fixed processing times. You get clear guidance on what strengthens the file and what remains open.

  • Work visas

    Visas tied to work link lawful stay with employment or professional activity. We support the legal side so employer, worker and documentation stay aligned.

    When a company is hiring from abroad, this work can sit next to business counsel on contracts and onboarding, including Tech Visa certified employers and highly qualified routes where they fit. Residence and employment move together.

  • Immigration support for entrepreneurs

    Entrepreneurs who relocate or structure activity in Portugal often need residence steps beside company formation. We provide complementary support so stay and business planning point in the same direction, including D2 style paths and StartUP Visa files where they apply.

    Where a spouse or family members are part of the same move, we help organise how those files relate. The focus is lawful stay connected to entrepreneurial activity, not promotional visa packages.

  • Document regularisation

    Missing, expired or inconsistent documents block progress. We help you identify what must be corrected, obtained or updated, and in which order.

    Regularisation is handled case by case, with clear priorities rather than a single checklist for everyone.

  • Family reunification

    When a spouse, partner or children need to join a residence or visa file, family reunification has its own documents, proofs and timelines. We help you see how the family files connect to the main application.

    We organise what each person needs so the move stays coordinated, without treating family steps as an afterthought.
