“Portugal Retirement Visa for my wife and me. We’re not very techy and don’t love scanning/uploading things, but RG’s portal was simple enough even for us. When I uploaded the wrong pension letter, they spotted it in minutes. Felt very looked-after.”
“I just wanted advice, but the consultation ended up being exactly what I needed. They explained the difference between free zones and mainland in a way I actually understood. Great intro experience.”
“I moved from Edinburgh to Valencia on the Spain Digital Nomad Visa and the bureaucracy nearly made me give up before I started. The NIE, the consulate appointment, the translations by a sworn translator-every step seemed designed to trip me up. Roots Global basically gave me a roadmap with deadlines, so I knew exactly when to book what. When my first consulate appointment got canceled, I was ready to scream into the void, but they immediately suggested alternative consulates and explained how to update my documents so they didn’t expire while I waited. They also looked over every translation and caught a tiny error in my police certificate translation that could have caused a delay. I still remember opening the approval email on a random Tuesday and just laughing because it finally felt real.”
“I came in clueless about the Golden Visa and left with a clear understanding of residency vs. citizenship, timelines, and what actually matters if you're doing this for your kids. Extremely valuable call.”
“Spain Non-Lucrative Visa from the US. I’m pretty sure I’d have been refused over financial proof without RG. They explained the income threshold in real numbers, not vague “comfortable level” language, and helped me show savings plus income in a clean way.”
“I’m an Aussie with Indian roots and a fully remote job, and I chose the Portugal Digital Nomad Visa after debating Spain for months. The whole decision felt heavy because I didn’t want to mess up my chance by sending the wrong stuff. Roots Global didn’t push me either way; they walked me through the pros and cons, then once I chose Portugal, they got laser-focused on that path. They set up my NIF, gave me examples of acceptable income letters from my employer, and even helped me reword a clause in my contract so it was explicit about remote work and duration. The consulate in Sydney is notorious for slow replies, and when my passport sat there for weeks, I started panicking. RG kept contacting them via the official channels and reassured me that the timing was still within the “normal-but-annoying” range. When the visa finally came back, they were genuinely excited in their email, not just ticking off a task. It felt like working with people who actually care where you end up.”
“I just wanted someone to “sanity check” my Portugal DN application and they ended up catching different thing like a misleading bank statement and a lease that didn’t show my full name properly etc etc . All fixed before submission. Approved first go.”
“I appreciated how they analyzed my risk profile in detail before talking investments. Felt very tailored and not “one-size-fits-all” like other firms.”
“I’m originally from Argentina but living in LA, and I used Roots Global to get to Barcelona on the Spain NLV. I was super worried about the financial means and the health insurance after hearing about people getting denied over tiny technicalities. RG checked every page of my policy and actually emailed the insurance provider to get a clearer confirmation letter. They also explained how much money I needed to show for myself and my partner, and how long it had to sit in the account. The criminal background stuff freaked me out too (not because I did anything, just the idea of it), but they walked me through getting the US check and making sure it was apostilled correctly. The consulate interview went way smoother than I’d built up in my head. Now we’re in Barcelona, and I still sometimes open the email thread with RG just to remember how stressed I used to be.”
“I’m based in London and needed a Dubai free zone company fast. RG handled everything: trade license, visa stamping, Emirates ID, and bank account setup. They kept me updated at every milestone and even chased documents I forgot to send. Very professional.”
“I went the Spain Digital Nomad route as a contractor with multiple clients and weird variable income. I was sure the consulate would just say “nope.” RG helped me structure everything-contracts, invoices, and bank statements-so it showed stability and not chaos. Huge relief when it was approved.”
