Quick and smooth approval process for your D2 resident visa to Portugal

Imigrata offers the most comprehensive and transparent visa support package for your future Portuguese residence. While you can file your own Portuguese visa application, it isn’t recommended for many reasons. If you don’t speak Portuguese, you’ll face hardship when dealing with local authorities like SEF, setting up appointments, opening a local bank account, getting the NIF number and addressing dozens of smaller issues that may turn into big problems.

You will be 100% covered by care of our local team of immigration attorneys in Portugal.

We will oversee your visa application procedure from the very first consultation to getting your residence permit in Portugal. You will not deal with the local bureaucracy, won’t need to schedule appointments, file applications locally, and have every step of your visa process professionally supervised. We take all the stress and confusion out of the application process.

Your business plan will be evaluated in terms of its financial viability as well as its potential economic, social, technological, cultural and/or scientific value.


From the first two items below, choose the one that suits you.

What our D2 visa clients think about their experience
  • Sarah Baskin
    Project manager from Austin, Texas
    We had our whole process coordinated by Imigrata attorneys from Lisbon. Every document was checked by them before it was submitted to the Consulate, and all local appointments in Portugal set up by the Lisbon team as well. I read that it's nearly impossible to get through to SEF on the phone. Overall, it was a great experience and a very smooth ride.
  • Samuel Wilkerson, Jr.
    IT freelancer from Halifax, Canada
    I initially tried to do everything on my own, but quickly found myself wasting several hours daily in search of information online. There was also an issue with getting my NIF number and opening a bank account — and that's hassle worth about 500 EUR. Imigrata lawyers in Lisbon had all these formalities included in the package, which was really nice. I had my approval from the Consulate within a month, and have a SEF appointment scheduled already. So far, all is good, thanks!
  • Maxim Volkonsky
    Startup founder from St. Petersburg, Russia
    You guys helped me to schedule my appointment at a local Portuguese consulate, which was great since I didn't have much luck with them. I had lots of questions regarding combining my savings and passive income that I bothered Imigrata team with and received a very patient service every time. Thanks again, I"m happily in Portugal now :)
