Finally got my visa stuff sorted after trying two different lawyers | Freelancer Relocation - Freelance Forum - The Community for Independent Professionals

The first one just sent me a list of forms, but the second one in Lisbon actually walked me through each step over a video call. Having someone explain the 'proof of income' part for freelancers made all the difference. Anyone else find a good local contact for Portugal's D7 visa?

Thought lawyers just filled out forms until I met one who actually explained things.

Totally, a good one makes all the difference.

My old mechanic just gave me a bill, but the new guy shows me the worn part. That extra explanation builds so much trust.

My cousin in Porto used a firm called Legal Eagles for her D7. They did a whole breakdown of the freelance income proof over email before they even started.
