Reviewed by a Portuguese lawyer

I was a bit devious at the beginning to use a company outside of the Portugal government but if you’re not doing it in person,you have to use a company online . Anchorless was quick and easy and kept in contact. thank you very much. Brilliant

Why reviewing your lease is essential
If you’re planning to rent in Portugal, reviewing your lease is the smartest first step. Signing without it could lead to costly surprises.
Essential for most visa applications
A valid lease is required for residency or visa approval. It must meet legal standards to be accepted by Portuguese authorities.
Overcome language barriers
Most leases are written in complex legal Portuguese. Our lawyers read and interpret the fine print, so you’re not left guessing what it really says.
Your rights, backed by local law
We review your contract under Portuguese rental law to flag anything that could put you at a disadvantage.
No hidden fees, no bad surprises
We spot unclear terms around deposits, fees, or penalties, so you’re not caught off guard later!

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!
Mrs Miriam, Great Britain
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.
Alina, France
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.
Christine, United States
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.
Alonso M, Canada
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
Orlando, Spain
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!!
Daniel, United Kingdom
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.
Michael, Australia
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 :)
Guilherme, United Kingdom
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.
Robert, United Kingdom
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.
Orit, Canada
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.
