Relocation, answered.
Straight answers about moving to Portugal with Urbanis.
Ask something else01Which visas does Urbanis help with?
Guidance for the D7 (passive income), D8 (digital nomad) and D2 (entrepreneur) visas, and for family reunification. Each case is reviewed individually before a route is proposed.
02Do I need to buy property to relocate?
No. Many clients relocate through renting first. Urbanis supports both renting and buying, depending on your goals.
03Can Urbanis help before I arrive in Portugal?
Yes. Most of the groundwork, visa guidance, NIF, bank account and home search, starts remotely, before you land.
04What happens after I arrive?
Your team stays available for everyday settling-in support: schooling, healthcare, utilities and ongoing questions.
05How much does relocation support cost?
Scope depends on what you need, from a single service to full coordination. Share your situation, and Urbanis will propose a tailored plan.
06How much should I budget for relocating?
Beyond any income requirement tied to your visa, plan for initial costs such as housing deposits, legal fees, NIF/NISS, health insurance and several months of living expenses while you settle in. Urbanis reviews your specific case and gives a realistic estimate.
07How long does the whole process take?
As a general guide, NIF registration typically takes one to two weeks and a visa application two to four months. Most clients move from a first conversation to a settled life in roughly four to eight months, though every case is different.
Every relocation starts with a conversation.
Share where you're moving from and what you need, and Urbanis will guide the next step.
