About Portugalize
Your immigration.
Your taxes.
One team. Full picture.
Immigration and tax specialists based in Portugal. We manage your move, your setup, and everything that comes after. The same people, from start to finish.
Our story
We know this country.
We know this system.
Anyone who has dealt with Portuguese bureaucracy knows the experience. Slow responses, confusing processes, and the feeling that nobody is really on your side. You hire one firm for your visa and another for your taxes, and the two never talk to each other. When something goes wrong, nobody feels responsible.
We are Portuguese. We grew up navigating this system. We know the portals, the deadlines, the language, and the people on the other side of the phone. We built Portugalize because the bar for service in this industry was low and we wanted to raise it. One team that handles immigration and tax without sending you somewhere else.
Fast responses. Honest timelines. People who know your case and take responsibility for it. It should not be revolutionary, but somehow it is.
The founders
The people behind Portugalize.
- Master's in International Law, Universidade Católica
- Magna cum laude · Miguel Poiares Maduro Award 2020
- 100% visa approval rate
Henrique leads all immigration work at Portugalize. Visas, residence permits, AIMA appointments, citizenship planning, and the practical side of moving to and living in Portugal. As an immigration law specialist, he knows every route, every edge case, and every consulate quirk that can delay an application. That experience is why our visa approval rate is 100%.
- Bar-certified tax attorney
- Hundreds of cross-border cases
- 100% IFICI approval rate
Manuel handles all tax work at Portugalize. NHR 2.0/IFICI, company setups, crypto, pensions, and cross-border situations. A bar-certified tax attorney who has handled hundreds of expat cases across jurisdictions worldwide, he tells you what the structure should be, why, and what it costs you to do it differently. Then he builds it. That precision is why every IFICI application we have submitted has been approved.
