Dream Maker I'm typically not a man of many words, but, on this occasion, I must make an exception. Elizabeth Sanches is the most amazing person I've never met in person. We've had numerous conversations though. We've been on an excursion, an adventure to fulfill my dream of moving to Portugal. My first visit to Portugal was in 1996 and from that time on, I knew I wanted, I needed to live here. Shortly after my fathers passing in April of 2022, and after going through the will and other fun family stuff, we began the process in earnest in 2023. Her expertise, her professionalism, her knowledge, her husband Marco and her team of experts performed extrordinarily. Her compassion, her understanding of complex situations, her patience. All remarkable. She has made my dream come true. I will turn 65 in November. What a precious gift she has given to me.

All I can say is wow! All I can say is wow!! With tight deadlines and high stakes Elizabeth and Marco worked magic. They know the Portuguese bureaucratic system inside and out. They are well connected from the legal to the immigration side. In Portugal things are all about having good relationships and they know how to connect and make it a pleasurable experience for everyone involved. Most importantly was their dedication. When one door closed for us they were quick to find alternative options that were as good or better than the original. Long story short, we made our deadlines and are happy campers.

Ellie and Praia Club have been an… Ellie and Praia Club have been an invaluable resource to get to know the realistic (and not always pretty) process of moving to Portugal.

Moving to a new country is exciting but… Moving to a new country is exciting but filled with questions and paperwork. Ellie Rose and her team provide answers and support, throughout the entire process. You can hire them to carry you through the mountains of paperwork and rules or you can simply use their free amazing resources to do it yourself. Whatever you decide, Ellie is there providing hours of free, live support during her question and answer sessions on facebook, , she has also answered our questions in private chats. We have been in Portugal for almost 3 weeks now on a D -7 visa and I assure you we would not be here without her amazing services. Thanks Ellie💫

Beware of Praia Club: Unreliable Service and Lack of Communication I recently engaged Praia Club's services to assist with my D8 visa application, for which I paid a hefty sum of 2300 EUR upfront. However, my experience with them has been nothing short of disappointing and frustrating. Despite my initial optimism, I have encountered nothing but silence and unresponsiveness from Praia Club. After making the payment, I have received no updates, no acknowledgment of receipt, and no response to my numerous attempts to reach out to them for clarification or assistance. Furthermore, I want to make it clear that I will not hesitate to open a dispute with my bank to seek a refund for the payment made to Praia Club. Additionally, I am prepared to involve law enforcement authorities to address this matter and hold Praia Club accountable for their negligence and poor service.
