What you should know before you start
- Vizabolt provides professional application and document-support services — we are not a government body.
- Decisions on visas, residency, and immigration status are made solely by the relevant government or immigration authority.
- Requirements, fees, and processing steps can change without notice, and we update our guidance accordingly.
- Individual eligibility depends on your personal circumstances, nationality, and the specific programme you are applying to.
Everything you need to know.
It depends on your goal, nationality, and circumstances. Short trips usually call for a visit visa; longer-term plans to live in Portugal usually call for a residency route — the D7 for income you already receive, the Digital Nomad / Remote Work Visa for work you do remotely, or the D2 for an independent professional activity or a business. If you're not sure, book a consultation and an advisor will talk through your options with you.
Processing times depend on the visa type, the issuing authority, and your individual case, and they can change without notice. Rather than publish a fixed number that may be outdated, we'll give you a realistic estimate for your specific application during your consultation.
We help you understand requirements, prepare your documents, and put together a complete application. The decision itself — whether to approve or reject an application — is always made by the relevant government or immigration authority, not by us.
In many cases, yes — family applications are common for both visit visas and residency pathways. Whether dependants can be included, and what documentation they need, depends on the specific programme and your circumstances.
This varies by destination and visa type. Some steps can be completed from the UAE, while others — such as biometrics or in-person registration — may require travel. We'll walk you through exactly what's needed for your case.
Every service is quoted after a consultation rather than listed at a fixed price. What a case costs depends on the route, your circumstances and how many applicants are involved, so we look at yours first and then put the fee in writing. Our professional fee is separate from government, embassy, visa application centre, insurance and bank charges, which are set and collected by those organisations, not by us — we itemise those too, so the number you agree to is the whole picture. Nothing is charged from this website, and no work starts before you have accepted a written scope and fee.
We review everything, flag anything that needs correcting, and prepare your application for submission. You can follow your case in the client portal, and we contact you directly about anything that needs your input.
