Residence in Portugal — and through it the European Union — by investment, income or enterprise, handled by a lawyer admitted to the Portuguese Bar and based between Australia and Leiria.
Portugal offers several routes to residence: the Golden Visa (ARI) for qualifying investment, the D7 visa for people with passive income, the D8 for remote workers, the D2 for entrepreneurs, and family reunification for relatives. Each has different evidence, timing and renewal rules, and all now pass through the Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo (AIMA).
We advise on which route fits, prepare and lodge the application, represent you before AIMA and the consulates, and plan the path to permanent residence and Portuguese citizenship. Australian, Brazilian and other non-EU clients are our core work.
We assess income, investment and family circumstances and recommend the visa with the best fit and timeline.
Documents are gathered, translated and apostilled; the application is lodged at the consulate or with AIMA and followed up.
We manage renewals, the permanent-residence application at five years and, once the residence period for naturalisation is complete, the citizenship application.
No. Real-estate routes closed in 2023; qualifying investments now include certain funds, research, cultural and job-creation options. We confirm current eligibility before you commit.
Since the 2026 amendment to the Nationality Law (Organic Law 1/2026), naturalisation generally requires seven years of legal residence for CPLP and EU nationals — Brazilians included — and ten years for others, counted from the issue of the residence permit, plus language, culture and integration requirements. Permanent residence is still available after five years. We plan the timeline from the first application.
Yes. We represent clients before AIMA, including formal complaints and court action over unreasonable delays.
A short message with the countries involved is enough to start. We reply within one business day.
