Chapter One

It starts with a decision.

A job offer. A university place. A life you've pictured somewhere else. Whatever brought you here, the first conversation is about understanding exactly what you need — not selling you a service.

Chapter Two

Then it becomes a plan.

Visa category, timeline, documents, cost — laid out clearly before anything is filed. One consultant coordinates everything, so nothing falls between departments.

Chapter Three

And finally, it's just life.

NIF in hand, TRC filed, keys to a flat, a first day at work. The paperwork fades into the background — and Lisbon becomes home.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a Portugal work visa (D1–D8)?+
Book a consultation so we can match your job offer or profile to the correct D-category, then we prepare and submit documents on your behalf.
Do you help me find a job, or only process visas?+
Both. Our recruitment and manpower placement service matches you with employers in Portugal first — once you have an offer, we handle the full work visa and residency process.
How long does AIMA / TRC processing take?+
Timelines vary with AIMA's current backlog, typically several weeks to a few months. We track your case and keep you updated at every stage.
Can you help if I'm already in Portugal without a NIF or NISS?+
Yes — NIF, NISS and SNS registration is one of our most requested services and can usually be arranged within days.
Do you offer services beyond visas?+
Yes. We support company formation, accounting, bank accounts, driving licences, translations, apostilles and more — everything needed to settle in.
Do you help with work permits outside Portugal?+
Yes. Alongside Portugal, we provide end-to-end job placement and work permit processing across Europe (Malta, Poland, Greece, Albania, Belarus, Bosnia), Oceania (New Zealand) and Latin America (Chile).
