Introduction
The Relocation Advisor is your starting point for navigating the complexities of moving to Portugal. Whether you're a retiree, entrepreneur, remote worker, freelancer or a student, Touchdown’s Relocation Advisor simplifies the process of identifying the right visa for your situation.
By answering a few simple questions about your nationality, residency, and income type, you’ll receive a tailored visa recommendation (e.g., D7, D8, Student Visa, or no visa needed). This tool is designed to give you clarity and confidence while setting you on the path toward a successful relocation.
The Relocation Advisor gives you three pieces of information, completely free:
What visa is right for you (if you need one)
Why the recommended visa is right for you
What the visa application process looks like
After receiving your visa recommendation, you'll be able to book a refundable consultation with one of our certified in-house lawyers and discuss your ideal path to relocation. In this session, we’ll provide personalised advice, answer questions about the application process, and help you understand your next steps.
