“I’m a freelance software developer from the US who decided to move to Portugal, and Roots made it surprisingly easy. Honestly, I was a bit overwhelmed by the visa paperwork, but my consultant walked me through each step like it was no big deal. They answered a ton of emails (sorry again :) ) and never made me feel silly for asking basic questions. 5 months later and I’m living close to Lisbon with a nomad visa in my hand, remote working in southern Europe. I can’t believe I pulled this off without going insane , huge thanks to the team at Roots for handling the not-so-fun bureaucracy so I could keep focus on my job and finding an apartment. (which turned out to be more complicated than gettting the visa ahh)”
“The Roots team, especially Monica, saved me from a horrible first experience with an agency that overpromised and underdelivered (and just outsourced my case to another lawyer like lots of other self-proclaimed "visa services" do online). My case manager stepped in with patience and expertise, fixing every error and explaining every step, even went the extra mile and wrote me an outstanding motivation letter and actually letting me know what they were doing. I really appreciate all the advice she gave me for my relocation that wasn't even related to my visa process. So grateful for having this amazing support for this new chapter in Europe! Thank you!!”
“The fixed fee package are really transparent and I only paid what they told me I would. and I really appreciate that they don't charge hourly billing for services involving a lawyer. This put me off a bit with another firm I inquired with before who only gave me a broad range of what it might cost. The service itself was great and got my approval faster that expected during the busy season. I was prepared to wait but it all went smooth from start to finish”
“Monica quickly corrected my mistakes when consulate required additional proof. glad it all worked out in the end. Next time I would use their service right from the start and not try and do it all by myself”
“From my first call with Roots Legal, I could tell they cared. Unlike my previous agency, they didn’t outsource; Vanessa my case manager handled everything herself and made sure it was perfect”
“Fast, reliable, and friendly team. Wanted to apply for a nomad visa myself but at this price I decided to save myself some headache and it was the right decission”
“My last 5 months have been a rollercoaster :D As a single mother, I was SO nervous about moving to Portugal. Roots took care of my D7 visa application and even guided me through obtaining necessary documents for my child and the process felt much less intimidating with their help. Now our little family is happily settled in Portugal. Maria even gave us some advice on schools and some communities to connect with other English speaking moms - so nice”
“Post-Brexit, I needed a visa to retire in Portugal. I started reading articleas about the process but got confused by some changes laws that effected my specific family situation. Roots Legal was a lifesaver, guiding me through the D7 process. They managed to got all 4 of us through the process and I’m grateful for their expertise.”
“My wife and I decided to retire in the Algarve and Roots handled our D7 passive income visa flawlessly, even helping with our NIF, bank account and local paperwork. Special thanks to Monica for her attentive support. We almost tried to do it all ourselves but the paperwork was a bit intimidating so we decided that we dont want to go through this critical process on our own. The relocation itself is stressfull enough, we are glad that we could at least outsource the residency and bank acount part to someone else.”
