Excellent advice and great human being While I have not paid for services from Praia club, I have posted questions on their FB page and received quick and reliable answers. If I run into problems down the road, I will hire them. The fact that they respond to questions on their FB page without telling you to contact them directly or pushing their services speaks volumes. I am not not sure howany people are in the company, but Ellie is the person with whom I have interacted. Helpful and a giving person in times when everyone wants to make a quick dollar/euro.

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.

Warning: Negative Experience with Praia Club Immigration Website I regret to inform you about my extremely disappointing experience with Praia Club. Approximately two months ago, I made an advance payment of 2300 EUR as requested by Praia Club for their services. However, despite fulfilling their requirements, I have yet to receive any assistance or updates regarding my immigration process. Furthermore, after completing the payment, Praia Club inexplicably blocked me and ceased all communication. Despite numerous attempts to reach out to them, they have ignored my messages and failed to provide any explanation or resolution. In light of this experience, I will be initiating a dispute with my bank to seek a refund for the payment made to Praia Club. I urge others to exercise caution and avoid falling victim to similar fraudulent practices.

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.

Ellie Rose and Praia Club are PHENOMENAL!!! Ellie Rose and Praia Club are PHENOMENAL!!!! Moving to another country is the most significant decision one or a family can make. From January-March, the application process (for us it was a very dense documented experience), legal issues, tax structures questions and pet transport connections, Ellie Rose became our guide and our muse and held our hands through it ALL. When I woke up in the middle of the night with “Oh my goodness what about….” she was there. When my mind persevered on, “But what if…” questions in the early evening (Ellie Rose’s middle if the night) she was there. WHEN I sent stupid memes about my anxiety she was there and she laughed! I relied on Ellie Rose’s expertise and moral support so much so that I had to take on the moacer, The Badger! Even now that our application process is over, we will continue to rely on Praia Club for NHR and tax prep services. Thank you, Ellie Rose! Much gratitude, The Badger.
