Avg. lawyer cost to figure out your visa

The information exists.
It's just scattered across 50 tabs.

Rules keep changing

NHR ended in 2023. IFICI replaced it with narrower eligibility. Citizenship timelines shifted in 2026. That blog post from 2024? Probably wrong now.

Lawyers cost thousands

Immigration attorneys charge $3,000-$5,000 just to tell you which visa to apply for. Most of that information is publicly available, buried across government sites.

Nothing is US-specific

FBAR deadlines, state tax exit procedures, IRS obligations for expats. Portuguese platforms don't cover the American side. American blogs don't cover the Portuguese side.

Generic advice, personal stakes

Your situation is specific: income type, family size, target city, timeline. A retiree on a D7 has a completely different path than a remote worker on a D8.

"Watch Out" Notes
