Fresh Portugal Omdömen 90

I cannot speak highly enough of the FRESH Portugal team and their handling of my IFICI application and approval process. From start to finish, the experience was professional, transparent, and remarkably efficient.

The team provided clear guidance at every step - Detailed, easy-to-understand instructions that eliminated confusion about what was needed and when.

My questions were answered promptly, and the team was genuinely invested in ensuring a smooth process.

It's clear that FRESH Portugal knows the IFICI requirements inside and out. They anticipated potential issues and helped me avoid common pitfalls.

They treated me as a partner in the process, not just a case file. Their encouragement made what could have been a stressful experience feel manageable.

My application was approved efficiently, which speaks volumes about the quality of their guidance and support.

If you're navigating the IFICI application process in Portugal, I genuinely recommend working with FRESH Portugal. Their expertise and professionalism give you confidence that you're in capable hands. Whether you're new to Portugal's residency requirements or working through a complex application, they make the process clear and achievable.

Highly recommended.

I had been in touch with countless law firms before Fresh, and I can honestly say that the level of service I received here was unlike anything I experienced elsewhere.

From the very beginning, Manuella ensured that everything was handled with clarity, efficiency, and genuine care. Amanda and Margarida were equally exceptional: always attentive, responsive, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the entire nationality process. I also had some visa questions for other family members that were promptly answered.

I am deeply grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend Fresh to anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality legal team in Portugal!

I’ve had a really positive experience working with Fresh Portugal.
They’ve been incredibly helpful in navigating Portuguese tax and NHR, especially as my situation is a bit more complex. Their knowledge of the law and attention to detail have been very valuable, and I’ve always felt confident that everything was handled properly.
They are also very friendly and easy to communicate with, and always responsive when I’ve had questions.
Overall, a very professional and supportive service — I would definitely recommend them.

We obtained the services of Fresh Portugal to get an article 15 appointment for my husband as we were having trouble contacting AIMA. Fresh Portugal were able to get an AIMA appointment for us. Amanda was great. She always answered all our questions and put our minds at ease. We decided to use Fresh Portugals service whereby an attorney accompanies us at the AIMA meeting. Our attorney Gabriel was excellent. He did all the work and handled everything on our behalf with the AIMA agents while we sat in the waiting area occassionally coming over for a document, or to sign something. It was a stress free pleasure having him there.

From the start of the application, everything was well organised and explained in depth by Amanda - who helped me with my application. She was prompt when replying to emails and was available on the phone during my interviews with VFS and AIMA.

The team even bought forward my AIMA appointment by 10 months, which saved a lot of time.

Gabriel - the lawyer who accompanied me to the AIMA interview - was punctual and printed off all the documents I needed the night before.

I would highly recommend FRESH for anyone looking to immigrate to Portugal.

Amanda made my visa process very smooth, she is reassuring and kind and who she is as a person was as important to feeling good about the process as the details of the paperwork itself. I could not be more grateful. And Daniel who heads the property team was generous with his non biased opinions and willingness to help - absolutely felt in good hands with them both. You can hire lots of people good at something but finding compassion and skill together is quite rare.

FRESH helped make my immigration and residency experience smooth and worry-free. Despite the challenges of Portuguese bureaucracy, FRESH handled everything with grace and authority. They have their fingers on the ever-changing policies and requirements and are ready to help you maneuver it all. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to move to Portugal and navigate immigration, taxes, and real estate!

was very pleased with Fresh Portugal (Rebecca and Audrey) in preparing our Portugal and US tax returns for 2024. I especially appreciate your help on the Portugal side. I must admit I don't understand how the Portugal tax return works so I am glad for your knowledge. I also cannot thank you enough for getting our NHR for us.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with you

Felt easy and clear throughout. Rebecca was kind and looked for ways to help, which I really appreciated.

Timely, professional and accurate. I had gone through a couple of tax prepares before and I must admit that this firm truly impressed me. Don't settle for less of a firm and you will be worry free. They have a team that works well together. Raquel was working with me on a final steps and everything precise and as discussed. I will use them again. This firm also do lots of webinars which are very informative.

Im based in Brazil and everytime I need fresh services, they always treat me with kindness and efficiency. Dealing with my needs with their expertise. Especially Manuella, who´s always kind to me and ready to help, with her great expertise in immigration law and related fields.

Being from the USA and totally ignorant of the requirements and processes to gain a visa and then permanent residency in Portugal, I have and will continue to rely on Fresh and its outstanding associates 100 percent. To say that they are knowledgeable/expert, excellent and timely communicators, and most importantly, caring. . . is the definition of the term, understatement. I have already recommended them to my family and would be honored to recommend them to any and all prospective clients. I used be a relationship manager and also headed a customer service operation for financial service firms. If still in those positions, I would use my experience with Fresh as an example of what relationship management and customer should and needs to be for training and managing. Thank you, Fresh!!! You are indeed the best.

I met with Raquel about a tax matter. Communication was good and my current questions were answered. When an immigration question came up, she pulled in a colleague who is an immigration specialist. I anticipate using the services of Fresh Portugal in the future.

I couldn’t be more grateful to Amanda and Manuella for the exceptional care and professionalism they’ve shown throughout my Portuguese citizenship process. Their expertise, attention to detail, and constant support have made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and reassuring. They’re not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely committed to their clients’ success. I feel truly confident having them by my side, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone navigating this process.

Henrique it’s excellent !! Great service, fast and reliable! He help me get the NHR with a little bit of time. Very helpful! 🙌🏼

Henrique helped me get NHR. It was very quick and he is very professional. I will be hiring them for tax return services as well. Thank you!

The Fresh Team is very professional and dedicated. I was happy with the servise.

Manuella, Amanda and the rest of the Fresh Portugal team helped me and my son putting an end to the long wait for our residence permits.
I highly recommend Fresh Portugal's services.

I booked an orientation meeting with Fresh Portugal to learn about their services and determine if they would be a good fit for my needs. Although the booking form requested specific tax information, I wasn’t aware that tax-related questions wouldn’t be addressed at all during the meeting. After waiting several weeks and staying up late for the call, I found it frustrating that this limitation wasn’t clearly communicated, and my concerns during the call felt somewhat dismissed. I hope Fresh Portugal will consider making the purpose and boundaries of the orientation call more explicit in the description to avoid confusion for future clients.

**Update based on their response:**

I’d like to clarify a few points to ensure my review accurately reflects my experience.

1. Swearing Mischaracterization: It’s incorrect to say I swore “multiple times.” I used strong language once at the end of the call, directed toward the website, not the individual. I apologized afterward because I regretted my tone, but I want to set the record straight on the frequency and intent.

2. Expectation for Service Overview, Not Tax Advice: I did not expect free tax advice, nor was this ever my complaint. As my emails stated, I wanted an overview of your tax services to understand the scope of support available. I was informed at the start of the call that the meeting would only cover immigration services. This mismatch between expectations set on the booking page and the actual call content was my primary issue. When I tried to raise this on the call and over emails, my criticisms were dismissed which is what led to losing my temper.

3. Offer to Remove Review: As further evidence that I wasn’t seeking free advice, I declined an offer from your company to receive complimentary tax advice in exchange for removing my review.

4. Clarification on Initial Contact and Paid Services: After attending one free webinar, I reached out to inquire if Fresh Portugal could assist with my situation, specifically regarding NHR eligibility. Initially, I sought confirmation before booking, and I was told via email, “You are right. Being sure that you do not qualify, I see no need for our meeting.” Following this, I met with other tax professionals over the next few months, but they didn’t meet my needs. I eventually decided to book an orientation meeting with Fresh Portugal to fully confirm whether or not your team could assist me, as I genuinely hoped for clarity on your services.

For transparency, I have screenshots of these conversations available upon request.

Thank you for acknowledging my feedback, and I appreciate any updates you make to clarify the orientation meeting description to help future clients set clear expectations.

Hello everyone. I want to give the strongest of recommendations to our real estate lawyer, Daniel Russo from Fresh Portugal. My wife and I began the process of purchasing a property in Praia Da Luz in early August. From the very beginning, with our first zoom meeting with him, to our successful closing yesterday(which we participated in via WhatsApp here in Connecticut), Daniel helped and supported us throughout this process. We could not have done this without him. He met me at this condo in late August for my first walk through, offering suggestions and advice, promptly answering our emails and phone calls, providing us with constant updates, recommended a wonderful bank-Eurobic/Abanca and their very supportive representative Marco Cruz and a terrific currency transfer service, Currency4You and their rep Prem Raja who made the process of transferring large sums of money much less terrifying.
Additionally, Daniel’s practical(and emotional) support throughout this process did not, by any stretch of the imagination, prove to be at all exorbitant. If you’re living overseas and looking to make a purchase in Portugal for investment and possible relocation purposes(as we are), we literally could not heap more praise on Daniel and the folks at Fresh Portugal.
