How it works
Built for people who want to stay in control
Our Do It Yourself option is built for people who want to handle most of the visa process themselves, but still want expert help for the parts that are harder to do alone.
Instead of buying the full Complete Visa Package, your NIF number is included — and after that you pay only for the services you need.
→ Need a NIF number but you're not in Portugal? We'll get it for you.
→ Want help opening a bank account? We can help.
→ Looking for a property for proof of address? We can assist.
→ Need support booking an AIMA or VFS appointment? We'll take care of it.
→ Want a document review right before your visa appointment? We'll provide a legal opinion.
This service is for people who want to handle their visa application on their own but need help with specific steps. Some parts — like getting a NIF from abroad — require authorised legal support. Others are just quicker and smoother with an expert guiding you. We can assist at any stage.
"With Pay-As-You-Go, you stay in control. Pick what you need, when you need it — and only pay for those services."

FAQ
Questions about our Do it Yourself
What order should I buy the services in?
Start with the NIF Number — it's required before anything else. Then open your bank account. After that, the order depends on your situation: if you're unsure which visa suits you, book the Visa Strategy Consultation first. If you already know your route, move on to Document Review and Services Guidance to prepare your application.
Is there a discount for a second applicant or children?
Yes. A second applicant (typically a spouse or partner) receives a 50% discount on all services. Dependent children receive a 70% discount. The discount applies to each individual service you select for the additional applicant — not just packages.
Can I add more services later after I've started?
Absolutely. You can purchase additional services at any time. If your situation changes mid-process (for example, you decide you want a lawyer at your AIMA appointment after initially planning to go alone), just add the relevant service and we'll integrate it seamlessly with your ongoing case.
How does this compare to the Complete Visa Package?
The Do It Yourself option is ideal if you're confident handling parts of the process yourself and only want expert help at specific points. The Complete Visa Package (€1,595) covers everything from start to visa approval with unlimited support — if you're selecting more than 3–4 services here, it may work out better value to take the full package instead.
Do I work with the same lawyer across different services?
Where possible, yes — we aim to assign you to the same lawyer across all services so there's continuity in your case. If you purchase the Lawyer Email Support, that lawyer becomes your primary point of contact for the duration of your process.
