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.

Ellie and her husband Marco provided… Ellie and her husband Marco provided fantastic service to me in my move to Portugal. They rushed my application process so i did not have to worry about the possible change in the laws here. I was guided buy the hand every step of the way and they found me the perfect apartment for my initial stay I now have time to search for permenant housing for my future here in Portugal That you Ellie and your crew

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.

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.

Ellie and Marco are the BEST. Ellie and Marco are the BEST. My wife and I moved from Florida and Ellie and Marco help make the journey possible. They handled EVERYTHING * Found our apartment in Vilamoura while we were still in the US * Secured our NIF * Changed our address to process our NIF * Established our Economic Activity * Opened our bank account * Got our utilities set-up Their professionalism and kindness are true blessings. There is no way we could have made the move without them. Their knowledge and ability to maneuver throughout the Portugal bureaucracy are invaluable. We absolutely love Portugal and can't thank Ellie and Marco enough for making this adventure possible. Mario Borysiewicz
