Ideal for remote workers, retirees, and professionals with proven international income — guided by licensed immigration lawyers.
Most relocation companies outsource their legal work. We don't.
At Viana Consultancy, your process is personally handled by licensed Portuguese lawyers — without intermediaries.
We support clients applying for the D7 Visa (passive income) and D8 Visa (digital nomads), guiding each step from planning to arrival.
Over 800 clients have trusted us to build their path to Portugal with clarity, care, and confidence.
That's why even other relocation firms come to us. Why not start with the team they trust?
We're not a visa agency. We're a law firm led by immigration attorney Patrícia Viana, licensed in both Portugal and Brazil.
These are our core services. We know the process inside and out, and stay up to date on the latest AIMA requirements.
We speak your language. We explain your options clearly, and keep you updated at every stage.
Every client is different. We customize your legal strategy to your specific background and goals.
Founder & Lead Attorney
Patrícia Viana is a dual-licensed attorney in Portugal and Brazil, with a postgraduate degree in Administrative and Tax Law from the Institute for Economic, Financial and Tax Law at the University of Lisbon.
Founder of Viana Consultancy, she has personally handled over 800 immigration and relocation cases — including more than 200 legal disputes — always with a strategic, results-driven approach.
Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, Patrícia brings legal precision and cultural insight to every client she represents.
Assistant Attorney
Bruna Xavier serves as an assistant attorney at the firm. She is enrolled with the Portuguese Bar Association and specializes in Civil Law. Bruna plays a vital role in managing procedural steps and supporting clients through each phase of their visa journey.
Together, Patrícia and Bruna offer clients a powerful combination of legal knowledge, efficiency, and personalized service.
We begin with a private session to assess your eligibility, answer key legal questions, and outline the best visa path based on your profile — D7 or D8.
We design a legal relocation plan tailored to your nationality, income, and goals. Then we handle every step: document preparation, certified translations, and submission.
Before your visa application, we secure your Portuguese NIF, open a local bank account, and help you meet all pre-visa requirements — including suitable housing. Once your visa is approved, we continue supporting your integration: from tax guidance to residency registration.
