“Roots Global is the best for Turkish citizens. They helped me with my move to Lisbon on a D8 visa. Phelan was very helpful and Vanessa’s legal advice was very important for my case. They know exactly what the consulate wants. The whole process was very smooth. Thank you, Roots Global!”
“I’m 72, I’ve worked in oil and gas my whole life, and I just wanted to retire in the Algarve in peace. My daughter found Roots Global for me. I’m not great with computers, but Vanessa and Phelan were so patient. They didn't mind me calling them instead of using the portal. They handled the D7 passive income proof from my various pensions and UK rentals. Everything was explained in plain English, no legal jargon that makes your head spin. It felt like the old school service I’m used to, despite them being a modern company. Good lads.”
“Right, so here’s the thing. Post-Brexit, moving to Spain on an NLV is a bloody nightmare. The paperwork is mountainous. My wife and I are retirees from Bristol and we were totally overwhelmed by the private health insurance requirements and the S1 form stuff. We found Roots Global and Maria took over everything. She is SHARP. No fluff, no nonsense, just told us exactly what to do and when. We had a bit of a hiccup with our criminal record check and Maria was so patient, keeping the consulate updated so we didn't lose our slot. If you're a Brit looking to retire to the Costa del Sol, don't even try to DIY this. Call Maria.”
“Moving from Australia to Portugal is a long way, but Roots Global made the D8 process feel easy. Ollie was great with the communication and Vanessa’s legal expertise was very reassuring. They handled everything from the NIF to the final visa filing. Professional, friendly, and very effective. Cheers guys!”
“I moved to Portugal with my girlfriend. Our different passports made it messy but Roots handled it. They knew which embassies to contact, how to structure our timeline, and what paperwork would make things smoother. I’d recommend them to any binational couple.”
“The Non-Lucrative Visa for Spain is quite a daunting prospect. Maria and Patrick at Roots Global made it feel achievable. They were meticulous with our financial records and health insurance requirements. Their communication was excellent throughout the six-month process. We are now happily living in Granada. A truly professional and empathetic team.”
“Roots Global'a çok teşekkürler. We moved from Istanbul to Malaga on the NLV. Maria was so helpful with the Spanish consulate requirements. She understood exactly how to present our Turkish investment portfolio. Patrick was always available for our questions. The transition for our family was much smoother than we anticipated. Highly recommended for Turkish families.”
“Doing Spain on my own felt intimidating tbh. They helped explain the Non-Lucrative Visa like I was a normal person, not a lawyer :D Questions were welcome and this gave us the confidence to move forward. Thank to Maria and her team :)”
“The process for the Portugal Digital Nomad Visa was laid out clearly from the start. Risks were mentioned, timelines explained, no sugarcoating. Professional and predictable, which I value.”
“My wife and I wanted Portugal for lifestyle reasons, not just tax stuff. They explained the visa options honestly we went with them because we had a good feelinh ... Some trade-offs were pointed out that other firms ignored. I trusted that more. Phelan walked us through and then introduced us to their legal team which did an AMAZING jobb!!”
“Income setup was a bit weird and I wasn’t sure it would fly. They flagged a couple issues early (thankfully) and helped me clean it up. Whole Portugal Digital Nomad thing felt way less scary after”
“We’re in our 40s and not trying to rush a move just to say we did it. They walked us through the D7 slowly, answered the same questions twice haha without getting annoyed, and gave us time to decide. Once we moved forward, everything felt organized. That steadiness helped a lot.”
“Used them for Spain Non-Lucrative. I didn’t need hand-holding, just someone to sanity-check my documents. They did exactly that. Communication was focused on the important things only, which I actually liked”
“I’m the annoying comparison guy. Spoke to multiple firms before choosing them. What won me over was that they pointed out weaknesses in my Portugal Digital Nomad case instead of glossing over them. Not fun to hear, but useful. Process felt realistic, not optimistic for the sake of it.”
