Liron

Lisbon on Jun 2026

I warmly recommend Daniella's service. I started with bouquets for the house and then asked for a special flower crown for a birthday, and she customized everything upon request, whether dry flowers or fresh flowers. She was very welcoming, very creative, and gave a very professional result - the flowers are fresh, lovely, and she gives a lot of options to choose from. It has been an ongoing process because I ordered over and over again, and when my friends and colleagues saw her flowers, they ordered too.

Daniela

Milan on Dec 2025

I hired Stefano to make a plan to change the internal shape and division of our new apartment and to give us guidance on the furniture. He translated our needs into detailed designs, coordinated with the constructor, adhered to their technical standards, and was available for follow-up conversations, which the constructor also appreciated. Communication was great and he was super punctual, and the price felt fair - I think he even did a special price for me. Overall I’m very happy and it made buying the right furniture and getting the build done much easier.

Joao

Lisbon on Jun 2025

I hired him to DJ two events, a sunset party and an after party for a Digital Nomad Algarve tech conference. He showed up on time, helped set everything up, and played his Electronic Harp with the set, which made an amazing show and put everyone in a very good mood and party environment. We did one show in Lisbon and another in Praia da Arrifana, and everyone was super happy with his set. He was flexible and a fantastic professional, exceeded my expectations, and I can’t praise him more.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there English-speaking lawyers and accountants in Lisbon?
Yes, and for this kind of high-stakes work it really matters. Many Lisbon lawyers and accountants specialise in helping expats with visas, residency, tax and your NIF, all in English. We list ones reviewed by people who've been through it.
Do I need a lawyer for my visa or residency?
Not always, but many people find it worth it, since the paperwork and the AIMA appointments can get complicated. A good immigration lawyer can save you a lot of time, stress and costly mistakes.
How do I get a NIF (tax number)?
A NIF is one of the first things you'll need in Portugal, for almost everything from a phone contract to a lease. Accountants and relocation specialists can sort it for you, often remotely, if you'd rather not navigate it alone.
How do I choose a good immigration lawyer?
Look for clear, public pricing and reviews from clients with a case like yours, whether that's a D7, D8, golden visa or citizenship. Phone-verified reviews help you tell the genuinely good ones apart.
Can these professionals help before I move?
Yes, many work with clients remotely and start the process before you arrive, which is often the smart way to handle visas and your NIF. Just check that they offer remote consultations.
