Visa Assessment & Eligibility
Visa Assessment & Eligibility is a €125 lawyer-led review for people who want to understand which Portuguese residence visa route may fit their personal, financial and relocation circumstances before applying. The Visas.pt legal team assesses the routes that appear suitable, explains the strengths and gaps in your case, and provides next steps, with a typical turnaround of 3 to 5 business days. Only the Portuguese consulate and AIMA can make the final decision on a visa or residence permit application.
