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.

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

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.

Lucky Referral We were referred to Ellie of Praia Club by one of her happy clients, who insisted we hire her for our D7. We’re glad we did. Ellie has been proactive, readily available, and super knowledgeable. Her advice is experience-based and reflects a nuanced understanding of the process as well as the thinking of the people behind the process. We recommend her without reservation.
