General questions
Is Reside in Portugal a government agency?
No. Reside in Portugal is the online service of BOCEAN IMMIGRATION PORTUGAL, LDA (NIPC 519043731). We are not affiliated with the Portuguese government, the tax authority (AT), AIMA or any consulate. Official documents are issued by those bodies.
What does it cost?
Each door has one flat fee in USD: D7 $1,490, D8 $1,490, D2 with LDA $2,890, Portuguese LDA $1,190, Golden Visa $7,990, each family member €600 more, IFICI $1,390. The Lisbon address starts from $22 a month plus 23% VAT, and the NIF is issued through NIF Express for €49.99. Government fees are separate and shown before you commit.
Do I need to be in Portugal?
For the NIF, no. The process is remote and you sign electronically in the portal. Visa routes have their own requirements, which each service page explains.
How long does it take?
NIF: 5 to 14 business days from signature. D7: 4 to 8 months. Other timelines depend on the authority, and each service page shows the official ones.
How do I pay?
By card through Stripe. Fees are shown in USD before you pay, and your receipt is kept in your client area.
How do I sign?
Electronically, in the portal. You see the document, sign, and the signed copy is stored in your case.
