This page provides general information and is not legal advice. Specific requirements vary by route and authority.

Child Portuguese Birth Registration & Nationality (by Descent)

If your child was born outside Portugal and at least one parent is a Portuguese national, your child is usually entitled to Portuguese nationality by descent. We handle the process end-to-end: foreign birth registration in Portugal (assento de nascimento), followed by the Citizen Card (Cartão de Cidadão) and the Portuguese passport.

Already an adult? If your Portuguese parent legally recognised you while you were under 18, you may still be eligible for Portuguese nationality by origin now that you’re an adult. We assess eligibility, prepare the documentation, and manage filings through the appropriate registry or consulate.

Note: Eligibility depends on proof of filiation and timing; we’ll confirm your route in an initial assessment.

Spanish Nationality — Democratic Memory Law (DML)

The DML (valid until 21 October 2025) lets children, grandchildren, and in specific cases great-grandchildren of Spaniards apply for Spanish nationality without any age limit. Once granted, nationality can be passed to future generations. We assess eligibility, prepare documents and annexes, manage consular filings, and support you through to certificate and ID/passport issuance.

Who can benefit

• Children of Spaniards of origin, even if born outside Spain.
• Grandchildren of Spaniards, in the scenarios covered by the DML.
• Great-grandchildren: possible in specific cases, usually when the intermediate ascendant (the grandchild) first obtains nationality; minors may be included/opt as per the applicable route.

No age restriction: adults and seniors may also apply.

Marriage Portuguese Nationality

If you are married to a Portuguese national (or in a recognised de facto union), you may be eligible to acquire Portuguese nationality. We handle the process end-to-end, including any prerequisite marriage transcription in Portugal, document legalisation, filing, and post-approval ID/passport steps.

After approval

We assist with issuing the Portuguese birth record (assento) if needed, then secure your Citizen Card and passport, and advise on next steps for children or family reunification.

Visas to Europe

We guide you through the right route for your move—matching your goals to the correct visa, country, and legal pathway. Below are our core services.

Work Visas

Who it’s for: Professionals with a job offer or intra-company transfer to a European employer.

Typical requirements: Signed employment contract, employer sponsorship (where applicable), qualifications recognition, clean criminal record, health insurance.

Family Reunification

Who it’s for: Spouses/partners, minor children, dependent parents, and other eligible relatives joining a lawful resident or citizen in Europe.

Typical requirements: Proof of relationship, stable accommodation and income (as required), health insurance, clean criminal record.

Note: Requirements vary by country (EU/EEA and Schengen states have different rules). We tailor checklists, timelines, and fees to the specific jurisdiction and your circumstances.

Digital Nomad Visas

Live in Europe while you keep working for clients or an employer based elsewhere. A digital-nomad (remote-work) visa gives you lawful residence without tying you to a local job contract—ideal for freelancers, remote employees, and founders running location-independent businesses.

Who it’s for

Remote workers, freelancers, consultants, and entrepreneurs whose income comes primarily from non-local sources (foreign employer, overseas clients, or your own company registered abroad).

What it allows (in most countries)

• Temporary residence with the ability to rent housing, open utilities, enroll in healthcare/private insurance, and move freely within Schengen (if applicable).
• Family inclusion in many cases (spouse/partner and minor children), subject to proof of relationship and financial means.
• Renewals and, in some jurisdictions, a later transition to longer-term permits.
