Due Diligence, Pre-Application and Post Approval Support, and Everything in Between
We merge our deep expertise and experience with a fresh perspective for each new client’s circumstances, allowing us to uncover and deliver the most effective solutions to achieve a successful immigration and relocation outcome. In a country with ever-evolving laws and processes, the best solutions during quick change are rarely the most obvious—they require fresh thinking, adaptability, and a willingness to look beyond the familiar.
At Waypoint, our starting point with clients is always a consultation call. Why is this so important? We have seen hundreds of different scenarios – there is no one-size-fits-all approach to immigration and relocation. However, during the consultation, we can determine the strength of the application by assessing three main parts of the application that matter most: Finances, Criminal Report, and Housing. We can also assess your timelines and any special circumstances to be factored into your move to make is seamless and convenient for you.
Our next step with clients is a mandatory tax consultation. In the past two years, the favourable tax benefits for foreigners have been eliminated, and the new regime is much more tedious and difficult to obtain. Its application also excludes those with passive income and those who are retired. It is crucial to understand your tax exposure upon relocating to Portugal and becoming a tax resident. This should always happen before starting any process so that you are comfortable moving forward.

Most Common Questions:
What are the requirements for registering an EU Citizen?
EU Citizens who wish to reside legally in Portugal must present, at a minimum, their passport, NIF, and rental contract.
What are the requirements for family reunification of a non-EU family member??
Non-EU spouses and children must present all evidence of connection to the EU spouse or parent. The EU spouse or parent must be legally registered in Portugal. You must also show proof of funds to support your family while living in Portugal, along with the set of paperwork that we typically submit with the D7 or D8 visa (ex, criminal report, birth and/or marriage certificate, etc.).
Do I really need a 1 year rental contract?
Yes. You must submit at the CRUE registration and the AIMA appointment for reunification, evidence of a 12+ month rental contract or a CPCV (Promissory Note) for purchase of a home. You cannot submit a letter from a friend, Airbnb short-term rental, hotel booking, etc.
What if I have a misdemeanor on my criminal report?
It does not entirely rule you out for immigration. It depends on the nature and seriousness of the crime and can be evaluated by our legal team during a consultation.
What are your payment terms?
Our payment terms are simple: 50% deposit to begin services and 50% final payment upon the visa decision by the consulate. We do offer access to Klarna for those who prefer to break payments down further.
