Taking the guess work out of the Portuguese Visa and Residency Permit process. When starting to prepare our Portugal Visa documents and subsequent meeting with the AIMA I quickly recognized the magnitude of the project. The Praia Club came highly recommended. Clearly, the decision to hire them was the very best for us. During our very first phone conversation she outlined their process and described the in-depth spreadsheet to keep us on track. She gave me the confidence that the Praia Club team understood exactly what was needed for us to successfully obtain our Visa and subsequent residency permit. Consistently Elizabeth was quick to respond to my questions. For example we were uncertain about the level of detail to supply with financial reports. And her team corrected our misunderstanding about whether a contract to purchase a home was sufficient or whether we needed to supply the deed. The answer was not accessible from online sources or from our realtor. She stayed current with the forms and any process changes made by the SEF that impacted our application, and her legal team was available to interpret requirements I found confusing. We were assisted every step along the way from our Visa application through the meeting to obtain the residency permit. Our success was the result of our wise decision to hire the Praia Club. I highly recommend the Praia Club to take the guess work out of the multiple document requirements and preparation for the meetings needed to live in Portugal.

I don’t usually write reviews I don’t usually write reviews. However I had to share my experiences with Ellie and Marco. These people are heaven sent! My wife and I used them to get a D7 and also a nomad visa. My wife and I hired them as a friend of ours referred them. They have helped from start to finish. Ellie would even calm my anxiety when I was worried about the massive paperwork. Marco drove us around looking at flats and gave honest opinions about each one. When we found the right one he even took us to a celebratory lunch. The personal touches are wonderful. So happy they have made our dream of moving to Portugal a reality!

It is a pleasure working with the Praia… It is a pleasure working with the Praia Club team. I am in the process of emigrating to Europe from the UK. I am being professionally guided every step of the way. Nothing is too much trouble, the team are friendly, highly competent and supportive in what I experience as a very stressful process. Their communication is accurate and timely including, in my case, face2face help. The Facebook site, ‘Expats moving to Portugal’ run by Ellie Rose, is the only one I recommend to others as I can guarantee it always contains accurate information - a rarity on the internet. I can honestly say that my experience with Praia Club has been refreshingly honest and 100% positive. I’d recommend them to anyone planning a relocation to Europe. They are truly a breath of fresh air.

Excellent advice and guidance Excellent advice and guidance from Ellie. Very surprised to see 3 identical negative reviews from people with only one review each, and amazed TP doesn't do more to filter such obvious fake reviews.
