Why Most D8 Applications Get Delayed or Rejected

Missing Documents

Incomplete applications are automatically rejected. One missing apostille or unsigned form derails everything.

Incorrect Translations

Portuguese consulates only accept certified translations. Google Translate or uncertified translators = rejection.

Wrong Apostille Type

FBI checks need State Dept apostille, not state-level. Many applicants get the wrong one first.

Income Proof Formatting

Freelancers and contractors often submit income docs in the wrong format - needs specific structure.

Outdated Documents

Bank statements older than 3 months, expired insurance, or old background checks aren't accepted.

Unclear Rental Contracts

Accommodation proof needs to be registered and properly formatted. Airbnb confirmations don't work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need certified translations for all documents?

Only documents not originally in Portuguese or English need certified translation. This typically includes bank statements, employment contracts, and any official documents in other languages. We'll review your specific documents and tell you exactly what needs translation.

What's the difference between state and federal apostille?

FBI background checks require federal (State Department) apostille. Birth/marriage certificates need state-level apostille from the state where they were issued. Getting the wrong type is a common mistake we help you avoid.

Can you help if I'm a freelancer with irregular income?

Yes - this is one of our specialties. We help freelancers compile client contracts, invoices, and bank statements to clearly demonstrate the €3,480/month average. Our network includes specialists experienced with freelance/contractor income documentation.

What if I've already submitted and got rejected for missing documents?

We can help! Many rejections are for fixable document issues. We'll review your rejection letter, identify what was missing or incorrect, coordinate getting the right documents, and prepare you for resubmission.

Do you provide the translations yourself?

No - we connect you with certified translators from our vetted network who are court-approved and experienced with Portuguese immigration documents. We coordinate the service and ensure quality, but the actual translations are done by licensed professionals.

Is there a refund if I decide not to submit my application?

Our review-only package is refundable if we haven't started work. Once translations or apostille services are coordinated with our network providers, those costs are non-refundable as work has been performed. We're transparent about this upfront.
