Updated August 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, guidance, our most commonly-requested services, plus large discounts on ad hoc services (25% off the housing package and 50% off our lawyer’s contract review when it’s not part of the housing service). Both packages must be initiated with a call booked through the consultation calendar to determine eligibility and to avoid overbooking the team. The consultation fee is deducted from the final invoice if either the STANDARD or PREMIUM service is contracted.
Our CONSULTATION BUNDLE is a service package consisting of a total of 120 minutes (2 hours) of consulting calls. The first call is booked directly in its own calendar and the rest is booked manually. The consultation bundle calendar is ideal for those who need more consulting time, and generally has openings earlier than the 1-hour consultation calendar. Note that NIFs and bank account openings are not included in this service, it is a series of timed calls.
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.
all prices include 23% VAT / IVA
- 300€ – paid at booking

For those who need more consulting time, with up to 2 hours of calls divided into shorter segments to take action between calls.
