Hi all

New member here.

I want to move to the outskirts of Lisbon next summer with my daughter who will be 11 by then. I will be applying for the D7 Visa and we are interested in moving to the Colares / Sintra area.

I have been advised that it may be worth employing somebody to help with the VISA application and I was hoping to get some recommendations as well as any other tips or general advice about the move. A friend suggested using a UK聽 firm.

I look forward to hearing from people

Cheers

As Johnny has said, it is up to you, but personally, I would save your money as it is quite straightforward. There is a lot of information on the forum. Should you get stuck at any point, you are free to ask any question you like.
