An Immigration Consultation is a one-hour video call with a qualified Portuguese immigration lawyer to assess your eligibility and recommend the right visa route — D7, D2, D8, or another path. It costs €125 as a standalone session, or is included in the Complete Visa Package (€1,595) and Complete Visa Package Plus (€2,810).

Is This Right for You?

Know exactly where you stand before you begin

Portugal's immigration system has multiple visa routes, changing requirements, and real legal consequences if you choose the wrong path. A one-hour consultation with a specialist lawyer can save months of delay and costly mistakes.

FAQ

Questions about our Immigration Consultation

It depends on your income source. The D7 Visa suits retirees and passive income earners, the D8 Digital Nomad Visa suits remote workers earning €3,680+/month, the D2 suits entrepreneurs and freelancers, and the Golden Visa suits investors. In a 45-minute consultation, our Portuguese immigration lawyer assesses your situation and confirms the right visa route, required documents, and a realistic timeline.

Our one-to-one video consultation with a certified Portuguese immigration lawyer costs €125. If you later proceed with a full visa application, the €125 is credited towards your package — so the consultation is effectively free for clients who continue with us.

Yes. Every consultation is conducted by a qualified Portuguese immigration lawyer registered with the Ordem dos Advogados (Portuguese Bar Association) — not a sales agent or relocation consultant. You get accurate legal advice under lawyer-client privilege, including honest guidance if a different visa route (or none at all) serves you better.

Yes — the consultation is 100% online via video call, so you can book from the USA, UK, Canada, India, South Africa, or anywhere else in the world. Most clients complete their entire Portugal visa process remotely, only travelling to Portugal after their visa is approved.

The agenda is shaped by your intake form. At a minimum we cover: which Portugal visa is right for you and why, the exact income and document requirements, the step-by-step process from consulate to AIMA residence permit, current 2026 timelines, and any specific questions — including family reunification, previous refusals, taxes, and the new Portuguese citizenship rules.

It's not legally required, but it's the smartest first step. Choosing the wrong visa category or submitting weak documentation is the most common reason Portugal visa applications are refused. A one-hour legal consultation confirms your eligibility, prevents costly mistakes, and gives you a written summary and personalised action plan.

Within 24–48 hours you receive a written summary of the advice, your recommended visa route, and a document checklist. From there you can proceed independently, book a follow-up session, or engage us for the Complete Visa Package — with your consultation fee deducted from the package price.
