Updated January 22, 2023.
There are 3 types of pricing (detailed further below):
1. fixed fee services
We have 3 fixed-fee relocation services:
Our STANDARD and PREMIUM relocation packages include NIFs, bank account opening, interpreters, plus our most commonly-requested services. Both packages must be initiated with a call booked through the consultation calendar to determine eligibility and to avoid overbooking the team. This fee is deducted from the final invoice if either the STANDARD or PREMIUM service is contracted.
Our BASIC service includes a bundle of consulting time (up to 2 hours) booked directly in its own calendar, skipping the 1-hour consultation calendar entirely. Note that NIFs and bank account openings are not included in the BASIC service.
2. AD-HOC SERVICE
Please contact us to request our current rate sheet for assistance with home searches and post-landing services such as booking interpreters for appointments.
3. PER-HOUR BILLING
Per-hour billing depends on the specific service and whether the service is handled by a junior (25€/hr), senior (60€/hr), or consultant (95€/hr). Contract reviews by our lawyers are 150€ per contract for the general public (Standard/Premium clients pay discounted rates). Please contact us to inquire.
Fiscal Representation for the NIF (Portuguese tax number) is only offered as part of the STANDARD and PREMIUM services.
We do not offer Fiscal Representation as a separate service. However, we can provide referrals for obtaining NIFs remotely. We do not receive compensation for referrals.
Bank account openings are only offered as part of the STANDARD and PREMIUM services. It is not offered as a service on its own.

CONSULTING BUNDLE

In 2020-2021, we did not charge for minors due to the uncertainty of the pandemic making Family Reunification unpredictable. We resumed charging for dependents in 2022, at 20% of adult rate. For 2023, we’ve reduced the fee to 10% of adult rate.
