“I was furious when my previous lawyer wanted me to apply for a visa type that was just not ideal for my situation, wasting months. Roots Global immediately knew what to do and found a far easier immigration path for me. Monica guided me to the right visa, and I felt supported from our very first meeting. Amazing service, amazing team!”
“Roots Global saved me! The agency I used before outsourced everything abroad and left me chasing updates. Vanessa jumped in, reviewed my rejected documents, and crafted a new plan. Within weeks, my application was back on track something I thought impossible.”
“I almost gave up entirely after my first experience with a clueless consultant. Roots Global, especially Freja, took time to explain each document and requirement. I felt supported every step.”
“I’m an American married to a German, and when my wife got an opportunity in Portugal, we jumped at it. The twist: she didn’t need a visa as an EU citizen, but I definitely did. I assumed it’d be straightforward , I mean, I’m family of an EU national, how hard could it be? Turns out there was still a ton of paperwork and coordination with Portuguese authorities involved. That’s where Roots came in. Our consultant knew the family reunification process inside and out. He helped me get everything from my background checks apostilled to the paperwork I'll need to eventually register as the spouse of an EU citizen in Portugal. He even provided guidance on what to do once we arrived , like where to go for my residency card and what documents to bring. Having that game plan made all the difference. In the end, I got my residence card without any hiccups. If we hadn’t had Roots, I’m sure we would have been ping-ponging between offices and pulling our hair out. They really know their stuff.”
“great advice on how to apply for my Digital Nomad visa in Spain even if I want to do it alone and not use their service. Did a intensive document check and I hired them to do my bank account and NIF”
“Roots Legal was a breath of fresh air. After another firm’s constant mistakes, Maria’s precision and proactive updates gave me the confidence I’d lost. Finally, I have my visa!”
“I was so upset after a law firm missed my consulate appointment, costing me months. The Roots team around Vanessa turned my nightmare into a fresh start in Portugal. From the first call, I felt reassured; she explained what went wrong and quickly secured a new appointment. I never felt alone again, and now my visa is approved. Roots and the team truly care”
“My husband and I just retired and moved from the U.S. to Portugal’s Algarve region, and we couldn’t be happier with Roots’ service. We were pretty intimidated by the process at our age , fingerprints, background checks, financial proofs, it was like applying for a job all over again. But our case manager at Roots was unbelievably patient and thorough. She made us a clear checklist and even jumped on multiple calls to walk us through filling out forms step by step (we aren’t the most tech-savvy, and she never made us feel bad about it). She also connected us with an English-speaking lawyer in Portugal to review a home rental contract, which was beyond what we expected. Thanks to her, we got our D7 visas on the first try. We’re now enjoying sunny days in Lagos with zero bureaucratic worries. Choosing Roots to help with our retirement move was the best decision we could have made.”
“As a UK entrepreneur moving my base to Portugal, I expected to drown in paperwork after hearing horror stories from fellow business owners. But Roots was a game-changer. They assisted not only with my D2 entrepreneur visa but also walked me through setting up a Portuguese business bank account and registering my NIF and NISS. It felt like I had a personal project manager for my move. Whenever Portuguese bureaucracy threatened to slow things down, the Roots team knew how to navigate or whom to call to keep things on track. They were proactive about small details too , reminding me to get documents apostilled and translated, which saved time. Now I’m up and running in Lisbon, legally and operationally, and I honestly doubt I’d be here so soon without their expertise. Money well spent, absolutely.”
“Being British and working remotely, the D8 visa was my only way to live in Portugal long-term. The Roots team had up-to-date knowledge on this new visa. They double-checked all my documents and made sure nothing was missing. My visa came through and I couldnt be more happy”
“As an American remote worker, I wanted to live in Portugal ... for the slower pace and the sunshine I guess hhaa. Roots helped me secure the D8 digital nomad visa quickly. They understood exactly what paperwork was needed for my situation. Now I’m working from Lisbon with a visa in hand, stress-free.”
“Roots went above and beyond in helping with my D7 visa. They even assisted me in getting my Portuguese NIF and setting up a local bank account. Months later and ettled in Porto now, thanks to their amazing support. Truly excellent service.”
“I’m a British pensioner who wanted to retire in Portugal. The D7 passive income visa application was complex, but Roots Global really made it easy for me to understand. They helped with all my paperwork and even helped me with the consulate appointment.”
