How fees are paid

Professional fees are set case by case, and government charges for registry, visa and tax authority procedures stay separate.

The first conversation

The first conversation is free. Describe what you need in Portugal, whether you are acting for yourself or a company, and which documents or authority notices you already have. A specialist can discuss the work involved before you decide whether to proceed.

Professional fees and government charges

You get a quote in writing before any work starts. Fees are set case by case. The quote covers the professional work your matter needs.

Government charges for registry, visa and Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira procedures are the state’s charges. They are separate from professional fees. You may need to pay separate AIMA charges for Golden Visa applications or permanent residence.

From enquiry to fee decision

Enquiries receive a reply within one business day. You are told plainly if your case is outside the service. You can discuss your matter with a specialist in English or Portuguese, whichever you are most comfortable in.

The tax, accounting and corporate work is considered together when your case has several parts. You can review the quote, ask about the proposed work and decide whether to proceed.
