I went through the Portuguese Golden Visa process with GCS and everything went very smoothly. Nina was always quick and kind in her replies, Letícia coordinated the teams very well, and our lawyer João provided thorough and patient answers. Overall, I felt fully supported and confident in my decision.

GCS guided me through the application process for citizenship, kept me abreast of each step throughout the process, and submitted my application in a timely fashion. Kudos to the lawyer Luis Almeida for his knowledge, professionalism, and splendid sense of humor!

The market for providers of Global Citizenship is a shady one with many questionable companies, so when I started this process I was private and suspicious about GCS. However, I quickly learned that they are professional, competent and honest. I feel very lucky that we chose to work with them. I visited their offices in Lisbon many times and met with most of the team, all of whom are impressive. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Global Citizens Solutions has so far exceeded all of our expectations in the process of our Portuguese visa application.
Aline and Patricia were very helpful in explaining everything involved and made sure things move forward in a timely manner. They even helped with setting up our Portugal bank account making the process stress-free and super-efficient. Their real estate division was also very accommodating. We can wholeheartedly recommend GCS

I highly recommend Global Citizen Solutions to anyone who is looking to move to Portugal. GCS was such a great source of support during my visa application process (Catarina and Isabel, in particular, have been immensely helpful). Applying for the visa can be stressful and confusing, since the policies are changing all the time, so it was definitely helpful to have a professional team to guide me through the journey. The team were also very open to feedback and went the extra mile to address any concerns that I had.

I successfully received my residency card this month, and it really is thanks to GCS.

Feeling very fortunate to have Global Citizen Solutions as my partner for a Portugal visa. Their team is knowledgeable and trustworthy. They delivered on all commitments, within the predicted timeframe. They took care of so many details behind the scenes. I would not have been able to successfully navigate the application process solo. Thank you Aline!

I had a great personal experience to say the least with GCS who helped me applying for a golden visa. From their very explanatory and clear website to the introductory meeting, all the way through the process, everything was smooth, quick and well executed.

The staff are all very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable in their respective fields ( Vanessa, Willyan, Antoine ..) But most importantly they were very quick and effective specially in my case where I had a very short time to submit my application due to law changes in Portugal. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without them in a record period (1 month). And finally their prices are very reasonable.

It’s very clear that I strongly recommend GCS. I’m looking forward to continuing our journey together for next few years.

LOVE everyone that we’ve worked with at Global Citizen Solutions. We decided in 2022 that we wanted to pursue the Portuguese Golden Visa and every step of the way (research, property hunting, applications, documentation, banking, moral support, legal, and finalizing our application) the team has provided expertise and guidance.

From the US, we were confident that our personal information, goals, money, and documents were secure. This was priceless when conducting cross-continent work.

Thank you to the whole GCS team! If you are looking for a team that will guide you through a complicated process —> go with Global Citizen Solutions!

Lastly, a special shoutout to Silva. We can’t thank you enough for all your help, time, constant communication and friendship.
