Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa to move to Portugal?
It depends on your nationality and purpose of stay. Citizens of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) do not require a visa to live and work in Portugal. Non-EU/EEA citizens generally need to apply for a visa or residence permit. Specific requirements vary, and a legal expert can advise based on your situation.
Can I apply for a Portuguese tax number (NIF) remotely?
Yes. With power of attorney, legal representatives may obtain your NIF on your behalf — even before you arrive in Portugal.
Do you provide legal or immigration services directly?
No. We are not a law firm or immigration agency. We connect you with certified lawyers and advisors who provide these services directly and independently in Portugal.
What documents are required for a residency visa?
Requirements vary by visa type but generally include proof of income, accommodation, health insurance, and a valid passport. Your legal advisor will confirm the specific documents and timelines for your case.
How long does the visa or residency process take?
Processing times vary depending on the visa type and consulate. In most cases, you should allow several months from submission to approval. Early preparation with professional assistance helps avoid delays.
