GBWe did it!! On to Portugal ) We did it!!! D7 Visa approved through the DC Consulate! On to Portugal! Want to thank Imigrata staff, especially Alex and Natalia for excellent professional service. They answered our calls and messages super-fast around the clock, including weekends. Had our initial consultations on 11/15/21, got the list of documents to prepare and started the process. Below is some info from our perspective to you help in your D7 visa application journey: 12-month Lease Agreement - start here as this was the most time intensive task. Imigrata helped us with some life hacks here, so we only overpaid for 1 month rental instead of the usual 3 months, as others do. NIF - we had no rush, so did it in about 5 days by power of attorney through Natalia (Imigrata). Bank Account - 5 days – Natalia and Imigrata staff opened account at Millennium bank — this probably could’ve been done faster, ~3 days but we had some issues with printing and scanning the account opening documents. Needless to say, 5 days was amazingly fast. We shipped the signed documents via DHL on Thursday evening and on Friday (the next day) our account was open! Natalia received the documents Friday, completed her steps, sent the docs to Millennium the same day and the account was opened. Funding Bank Account - Wise - this was easy, fast, and straightforward. Notarization - we went through our bank but UPS also does notarization if you schedule an appointment. Passport Photos - CVS - we used scissors to cut our photos to meet the size requirements, nothing fancy Medical/Travel Insurance - VFS Global site - the prices were competitive, it was easy, fast, and we figured it was best to go with the ‘recommended’ provider of VFS since they are reviewing the application. We received a digital copy of the insurance policy immediately and our insurance cards in the mail within a couple of weeks. FBI Background Check/Fingerprints - Saturday + 5 business days - we completed the online form during the week, be sure to check the “mail me my documents” box in the online form, and then headed to USPS on a Saturday to complete our fingerprinting. There was a wait since others were waiting to complete their passport applications but we didn’t need an appointment for fingerprinting. Overall it took about an hour to get our fingerprints done. We received our digital results within an hour and we received the sealed envelopes on Friday (5 business days after fingerprinting) Personal Statement - Imigrata helped outline it, and we kept this to one page and kept it simple. We mentioned why we want to be in Portugal, our general finances and means of subsistence, our contacts in Portugal, our flight itinerary, and accommodation information. All in all, it wasn't very difficult, but only because we had Imigrata staff standing by to answer our sometimes stupid questions on a whim. Although the process seems to be pretty straightforward, there are plenty of nuances that require professional help all the time. We can recommend Imigrata wholeheartedly.

ESExcellent experience, I recommend them Imigrata was recommended to me by friends. We were moving to Spain, so our managers were Polina and Anatoly. All the necessary documents were collected on time, everything was checked, the necessary appointments in the organisation were made. The guys work very politely, very attentive, I don't have any complaints! I highly recommend them!

ESVery positive experience Very positive experience. Right from the start, I noticed they offered a bigger package compared to some other agencies I had researched. This was a major plus that made me choose Imigrata. Their level of support is really good. What stood out the most was the friendly communication style of Polina and Anatoly (Spain). I really hate paperwork, but these guys made the whole process much more manageable and stress-free. Whenever I had a concern (and I had many concerns!), they were there with a solution or an alternative approach. Overall, I recommend Imigrata for anyone looking to move to Spain as a digital nomad.

PTDigital Nomad visa/resident permin in Portugal The guys helped me obtain a visa and then a residence permit in Portugal. They were maximally client-oriented and flexible in determining the services I needed. It seems the company has many local contractors, so I didn't bother myself with how exactly the process unfolds step by step; the main thing is that I got a positive result. There were a couple of unexpected moves by the unpredictable Portuguese bureaucratic machine, which the guys resolved quite quickly and efficiently. As far as I understand, in my case, the process went relatively fast: the step between key points of the path — applying for a visa, receiving a visa, registration with immigration, waiting for the residence card — took roughly 2 months for each stage.
