“I took an early retirement and had some rental income, but I was unsure if I qualified for the D7 visa. Roots Legal clarified everything. They checked my documents and ensured I met the requirements. My application was successful and now I’m living my dream”
“Moving my family from Australia to Portugal was a huge decision, and Roots made it so much easier than we anticipated. The distance (and time difference) could have made communication tough, but our relocation specialist was flexible, even scheduling calls early in her morning to accommodate us. She organized everything we’d need to land smoothly , from visa paperwork for me, my wife, and our three kids, to tips on shipping our household goods. When we had an issue getting one document from the Australian authorities, she jumped in and liaised with the Portuguese consulate to find a workaround. It was personal touches like that which reduced our stress massively. We’ve been in Cascais for two weeks now, and seeing my kids play in the park by the ocean makes all the effort worth it. Big thanks to Roots for treating our move like more than just paperwork and they really cared about our family.”
“I moved from Ukraine to Portugal last year, and I still can’t believe I’m actually here, safe and building a new life. Roots has been nothing short of amazing. My situation was complicated by the fact that I left home suddenly and had to piece together paperwork after the fact. The team was incredibly patient and compassionate; they helped me obtain all the documents I needed from abroad and worked around the challenges we faced. They even went with me to the immigration office in Lisbon, acting as translators and moral support. I felt like I had family here looking out for me. I’m tearing up writing this, because their help meant I could focus on settling my young son into school and healing from our turbulent journey. I owe a debt of gratitude to everyone at Roots for giving us a fresh start.”
“Needed a lot of guidance, and Roots delivered. And when I say I needed a lot of guicdance, I mean a LOOOOT of guidance haha. lool. thanks for your patience with me”
“chaotic process tunred into a hassle free experience. Glad I could do oit all online, no long calls needed, simpl email communication. top top top. Vanessa’s detailed explanations and fast replies kept me sane, especially after my first lawyer botched everything.”
“Coming from Brazil, I thought moving to Portugal would be easy since we share a language. Boy, was I wrong about the bureaucracy! I’m so happy I hired Roots to help me. They guided me through each tedious requirement, from getting my criminal records from Brazil sorted with an apostille to securing a NIF and finding a good appointment slot for the visa. My consultant even spoke to me in Portuguese when I struggled with English, which was super comforting. In the end, what could have been a confusing process turned into a step-by-step journey that made sense. I’ve been in Porto for a month now, and it still feels surreal. Thank you to the team at Roots for making this Brazilian’s relocation dream a reality. valeu demais!”
“The personal attention from Roots Global was beyond what I expected. They assigned an advisor who guided us ... getting the Non-Lucrative Visa for Spain was no big deal with their help. I'm impressed and thankful for their service.”
“BIG BIG SHOUTOUT to the Spanish visa team!! the team at Roots was very helpful and just super knowledgeable. We hit a small snag with one document, but they resolved it quickly. In the end, I got my Spanish visa and I'm enjoying my time here. Great service overall. Thanks again the the whole Spain team”
“Absolutely fantastic service. Roots got my D8 visa approved. It was 4 months it felt like record time considering all the paperwork neccessary. Amazing job”
“As an American family, we moved to Portugal under the D7 visa. Roots Legal guided us through the entire process, even with two kids in tow. Huge shoutout to Vanessa for assisting us with all the paperwork. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out.”
“I’m a 29-year-old from London, and moving to Portugal was something I really wanted but had no idea how to pull off. I’m so glad I found Roots , absolute legends, honestly. From day one, they were on it. I’m not exactly patient, and I probably asked a million questions on email (sorry!), but my case manager always replied with detailed answers and a friendly tone. She even helped me sort out stuff I didn’t realize I needed, like a local bank account and health insurance before moving. The whole D7 visa application was smooth, and I got approved faster than I expected. Now I’m living the dream in Lisbon, pastéis de nata in one hand and my residency card in the other. Couldn’t have done it without the Roots team , they made it so easy.”
“My wife and I had a dream of living in Portugal, and Roots made it happen. Phelan guided us through the D7 visa paperwork and answered our endless questions with patience. We got approved without any issues. Our new life in Portugal has officially begun!”
