A 45-minute video call with Ícaro Couto, our Chief Legal Officer (Portugal Bar nº 67883F · Brazil Bar OAB-SP 444.967). We assess eligibility, build a written roadmap, and answer every question about your move — D7, D8, Golden Visa, LDA, IFICI, citizenship — before you commit a single euro to anything else.
We do not run generic "discovery calls". You bring your situation, we walk you through every route. Expected output: a written roadmap PDF delivered within 24 hours, with timeline, total budget (professional fees + government fees + your investment if any), and next steps.
Which Portuguese residency routes you qualify for (D7, D8, D2, Golden Visa) given your nationality, income, profession, family.
Realistic month-by-month plan, including AIMA backlog, consulate slots, and Portuguese language requirement for citizenship.
Honest breakdown of professional fees, AIMA government fees, IRN State fees, translations, your qualifying investment (if any).
How IFICI (the 20% flat-tax successor to NHR) fits your case, when to incorporate an LDA, double-taxation treaties with your country.
Adding spouse and dependent children to the same case, school enrolment, the new 10-year citizenship rule and CPLP exceptions.
Exactly which documents you need from your country, what needs apostille, what needs sworn translation, what we handle in Portugal.
If after the call you decide to engage us for any service — NIF Express, D7, D8, D2, Golden Visa, LDA setup, IFICI — the $49 is deducted from the first invoice automatically. The credit is applied when you check out from the same email. In effect, the strategy call is free if you proceed; it costs $49 only if you decide not to move forward (which is also a perfectly valid outcome).

The strategy call is a fixed-fee professional service so the standard "refund on filing error" of our other services doesn't apply. However, if at the end of the call you feel you didn't get value, write to us within 7 days and we'll refund the $49 in full, no questions asked.
