How We Work: 5 Steps to
Your European Residence

We begin with a complimentary, no-obligation consultation. During this call, we review your financial profile, family situation, investment capacity, and long-term objectives. Based on this assessment, we determine which European residency programmes are suitable for your circumstances.

• - Profile and eligibility review
• - Budget and timeline alignment
• - Initial programme recommendations
• - No commitment required

After the assessment, we present a written roadmap tailored to your situation. This includes a detailed comparison of recommended programmes, a cost breakdown, a timeline projection, and a risk analysis specific to your nationality and source of funds.

• - Written roadmap with cost breakdown
• - Programme comparison (Golden Visa vs D7 vs others)
• - Risk assessment for your profile
• - Fund or investment vehicle selection

We coordinate the full documentation process: apostille requirements, sworn translations, bank statements, criminal record certificates, and proof of funds. For Golden Visa applications, we also coordinate the fund subscription with the selected CMVM-approved investment vehicle.

• - Document checklist and tracking
• - Apostille and translation coordination
• - Bank transfer guidance
• - Fund subscription (Golden Visa) or income proof (D7)

We prepare and file the formal application with the relevant authority (SEF/AIMA in Portugal, or the equivalent in other countries). We schedule your biometric appointment and provide in-country support through our local offices in Lisbon and partner offices across Europe.

• - Application form preparation and review
• - Biometric appointment scheduling
• - In-person support at our Lisbon office

Once approved, you receive your residence card. Our support continues with renewal reminders, address registration, NIF (tax number) management, and strategic guidance as you approach the 5-year mark for permanent residency or citizenship eligibility.
