We provide lawyer reviews and full support until you achieve the desired Portugal Quality of life.
How much does the service cost for a Portugal Visa?
Our comprehensive Portugal Visa service costs €1,200 all-inclusive (+ €500 per child). This covers the full journey up to visa issuance: VFS booking, document prep and checks, legal support, and tracking. We're open to helping with additional services if needed, but those would be discussed separately. A 100% money-back guarantee is included if your Portugal Visa isn't approved.

How quickly can you secure a VFS appointment for my Portugal Visa?
getfastvisa clients average 25 business days for a VFS appointment, bypassing the typical 3-6 month wait and frustration with the buggy VFS system. Many applicants find VFS blocked or struggle to find slots. Our 24/7 monitoring across all centers ensures we grab Portugal Visa appointment slots instantly.
What is the typical overall timeline for the Portugal visa and residence permit?
While government times vary, expect: ~25 business days for VFS booking, ~60 days for Consulate decision on your Portugal Visa, ~5 days for stamping, entry within 120 days, AIMA appointment near visa expiry, and up to 90 days for the residence card. Our efficient processes and ongoing monitoring help you navigate each step to enhance your Portugal Quality of life.
Do I need a Portuguese NIF and bank account for my residence permit?
For the Digital Nomad visa, a NIF and Portuguese bank account are not mandatory, though having them can strengthen your application. For the D7 visa, they are required (except for US applicants). While not part of the core visa service fee, we offer clear guidance and partner recommendations to obtain these if needed for your life as a Portugal Sun Nomad.
What specific services are *not* included in the standard Portugal Visa fee?
Our core Portugal Visa service excludes NIF/bank account assistance (guidance provided), tax advice, company formation, sworn translations, notarization, or personal accompaniment to VFS or AIMA. These may be arranged separately.
How will we communicate during my Portugal Visa process?
Communication is primarily via WhatsApp, along with email and our secure platform for progress tracking and document uploads regarding your Portugal Visa. We provide regular updates and are available for questions, ensuring clarity throughout your Digital Nomad or D7 application.
What support is offered after I get my Portugal Visa and move?
Our service includes guidance for the initial AIMA residence permit application after you arrive on your Portugal Visa. While full relocation support isn't included, we ensure a smooth initial transition for your new life enjoying the Portugal Quality of life.
Do you accept crypto payments? Can you help prove crypto income?
Yes, we are crypto-friendly! While we primarily process card payments via Stripe, we can arrange payments via major cryptocurrencies. Please contact us via email at support@getfastvisa.com to discuss crypto payment options. We also have extensive experience helping clients successfully document various crypto-related income sources (including trading, staking, mining, validation, and DeFi earnings) for their Portugal Visa applications, navigating the specific requirements needed by the authorities.
