This is a top notch service!

Fantastic service, very fast turnaround and getting the NIF was cheaper than what we had been quoted elsewhere. I had a slight issue due to a mistake that I had made and they were really helpful to make sure that the delay was minimal.
Highly recommended!

How I Effortlessly Opened a Portuguese Account

Anchorless made opening our non-resident Millennial BPC bank account anxiety-free. They are also very responsive—everything was done online! The only exception was sending our signed documents via UPS to their Lisboa office for the bank to review.

Highly recommended!!

My experience with Anchorless in applying for the NIF was a breeze. The instructions to complete my application which followed after paying the required fee was effortless. The processing time was quick which to my surprise I received it today, Jul23. Also, the Anchorless team sent me updates from the time they receive my application up to the time it was processed and approved! Thank you, team, for the efficiency and the attention given to my application. I appreciate it very much.

Better than helpful

In expecting mediocre, non-personalized help from Anchorless I was, I'm happy to say, pleasantly surprised to be wrong. I'm considering using them again for phase two. 
"Going the extra mile" as the cliche says is what this company does and I would highly recommend them to anyone unsure of themselves when it comes to completing the paperwork required to begin the visa application process.

Great service

The service ran smoothly and very quickly. I was kept updated along the way and also given useful advice on changing my password.
The only hiccup I experienced was on the Portuguese web site when I couldn’t find my translator but once I’d solved that it was plain sailing. Thanks AnchorLess.

Quick and easy

Online process was smooth, with quick and easy steps via their online portal. My application was evaluated the same day and despite purchasing the lower tier option, NIF arrived the same week.
