FAQ
Questions about our Do it Yourself
It's Portugal visa help à la carte: instead of a full package, you buy only the services you need — NIF, bank account, document review, visa strategy consultation, AIMA appointment support, lawyer email support — each handled by the same qualified immigration lawyers, at individual prices.
Start with the NIF — it's required for everything else. Then the Portuguese bank account. After that: if you're unsure of your visa route, book the Visa Strategy Consultation; if you know your route, move to Document Review and Services Guidance to prepare your application.
For 1–3 services, yes. If you're selecting more than 3–4 services, the Complete Visa Package (€1,595) — which covers everything from strategy to visa approval with unlimited support — usually works out better value. We'll tell you honestly when the package is the smarter buy.
Yes. A second applicant (spouse or partner) receives 50% off every service and dependent children 70% off. The discount applies per individual service selected for the additional applicant — not only to packages.
Absolutely. You can add services at any time — for example, adding lawyer representation at your AIMA appointment after initially planning to go alone — and we integrate them seamlessly with your ongoing case and existing documents.
Where possible, yes — we assign the same lawyer across your services for continuity. If you purchase Lawyer Email Support, that lawyer becomes your primary point of contact for the duration of your process.
Many people can — the process is bureaucratic rather than impossible. The highest-risk points are visa route selection, document compliance, and consulate/AIMA procedure. Targeted expert help at exactly those points is what the DIY services are designed for, at a fraction of full-service cost.
