All in all a great experience if you are applying for a D7 Visa, without actually needing to appoint an attorney for the process.
I also used their property hunting service for a rental in Cascais, and it worked out very well. -

Fantastic 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!
-
Exceptional
When I reviewed all positive comments it seemed too good to be truth. But they are really very good: great customer service, automated platform , friendly interface. My NIF was ready next day.
-
Superb Customer Service
I used Anchorless to obtain my NIF and Portuguese bank account online. The work began during the holidays in December 2023 and ended the first week of February 2024 [...]. I heartily recommend Anchorless. Getting the NIF and bank account through my immigration attorney would have cost me at least $1000 more.
-
Highly recommend Anchorless for your Immigration procedures in Portugal
We found Anchorless on Google, hired them to process this important document for us, and... Voila! it arrived TODAY!! As a former US Immigration translator for 21 years found the speed of this procedure absolutely amazing.
-
The best. As simple as that
This is the second time that I use the services provided by Anchorless. This time to obtain my daughter's NIF. The service is not only quick and efficient but also painless and effortless which is everything you could ask for while relocating to a foreign country. Thank you
-
Very easy and efficient service
Very easy and efficient service. I was lost - trying to get my daughters Fischal number sorted in Portugal, with Brexit making life difficult. This service was fast and efficient, it took about 10 minutes and I never left the sofa!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
-
The company is great to deal with
The company is great, I had a good chat with Guilherme who is my contact about the process and what I wanted to do. So far setting up the legal requirements has been painless and they inform you of all the steps along the way.
-
Highly Recommended
Order my NIF and provided my documents online, all instructions on the website were clear and easy to follow. Got my NIF 24 hours after uploading my documentation! Money well spent! Thank you :)
-
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. -
Excellent service and support
Excellent service and support. We spoke with a representative who had broad knowledge and made it clear how we could move forward, what we could do, and what we needed further support. Technically, everything was friendly, with immediate response. We highly recommend this service.
-
Outstanding Experience
I recently had the pleasure of working with this company, and I can't recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, their service was nothing short of outstanding.

Who is actually filing my tax return?
Your return is prepared, reviewed, and officially submitted by an OCC-certified Portuguese accountant (Ordem dos Contabilistas Certificados).
I only arrived in Portugal late last year. Do I still need to file?
If you became a tax resident in Portugal at any point during the tax year, you are legally required to file an IRS return the following year, even if you earned 100% of your income abroad.
When is the official deadline to file my Portuguese taxes?
The official IRS tax season in Portugal runs from April 1st to June 30th every year. However, we highly recommend starting your onboarding with us well before April to gather your documents calmly and avoid the typical end-of-season bottleneck.
