We connect you with licensed Portuguese immigration attorneys who specialize in D8 digital nomad visas. Vetted experts with proven track records, transparent pricing, and experience with US citizens.
Alternative: Consider our Document Preparation service instead of full lawyer representation - gets you expert review at lower cost.
Not everyone needs a lawyer for D8 visa - it's a relatively straightforward visa compared to others. However, if you have ANY complications (family, irregular income, background issues, prior denials), a lawyer dramatically increases your approval odds and reduces stress. We'll give you an honest assessment in your free consultation - we won't push lawyer services if you don't need them.
