Portugal — services for living and doing business

The catalogue covers these routes: residence permit, visa applications. The reference section describes 13 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.

8 options across 5 areas: residence permit, visa applications, bank account opening, flights, short-term stays, car rental, VPN abroad, specialist appointments and 7 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.

Partly: 1 of 8 options are handled remotely, the rest need you there in person (usually biometrics or a signature at the bank). The format (“Remotely” / “In person”) is on each service card, visible before you send a request.

It depends on the service: the fastest take from 1 day, the longest (citizenship, investment programmes) up to 8 months. The exact timeline is on each service card - that's the expert's working time, excluding queues at government bodies.

The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.

The standard naturalisation route in Portugal takes from 10 years of legal residence (residence permit → permanent residence → passport). Faster routes: Marriage — 3 years (if the Portuguese spouse has held residence for 2 years) or 6 years without that condition. This is a 2026 guide - the exact term depends on the route, and we'll confirm it on a consultation.
