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.

Money well worth spending Working with Ellie and Marco now for a rather complicated immigration case, and they rock! They know all the ins and outs of Portugal bureaucracy, and in 1 week we already made so much progress. There is no way in hell we would do this process on our own. Money well worth spending for their amazing service!

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.

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!
