Hello all.

I'm Rafael. My husband Jared and I live in Texas, USA. We have decided to start exploring options for retirement overseas, and Portugal is at the top of the list. I suppose one of the first steps would be to consult w/ a Portuguese immigration attorney as I understand that the laws have recently changed. Can someone recommend a good attorney? We are planning a visit in October and would like to establish a professional relationship w/ someone beforehand.

obrigado y'all!

Please write in English.

For the benefit of the OP.

Ask your embassy: they have lists of “good lawyers” who speak American English”

Hi Rafael, Welcome.

I don't think you need a lawyer to get a visa. You have good examples here of US citizens who have done it all by themselves. But it depends on each person...
