Description

So here’s the thing.

Two years ago, when we were preparing for our visa interview + appointment, we did DIY. The process is doable, albeit frustrating at times when your total understanding of the process is toddler-level, and many times in the first year, I doubled-down on the DIY route.

But in the past two years, we’ve seen drastic + rapid changes in the process that can catch you off guard if you are navigating the process alone.

Enter Joao Madeira Pinto, our immigration attorney. You know - the guy we wish we had known in 2023? Because now that we know all that he does to help people navigate the visa process, we’d likely have said, please help us!

In this week’s episode, we give you Part 2 with Joao, where he highlights what he can offer someone who is interesting in moving to Portugal. Top prize goes to obtaining your NIF, opening a bank account within a week + even finding an apartment and securing that elusive lease requirement!

To talk directly with Joao and get customized advice based on your plans + needs, Joao offers a FREE consultation call + discount to our listeners here. FYI - he’s the best.

Tune in and make the decision that works best for you.

Cheers, y’all!
