FAQ

Good to know

Who is this for?

People planning to move to Portugal in the next 6 to 12 months, whether you plan to rent, buy or haven’t decided yet.

How is this different from your free call?

The free call checks whether HillForte can help with your property search. This is a working session: substantive advice and a written plan for your whole move, with no obligation to buy through us.

Can my partner join?

Yes. We recommend it, since most decisions are made together.

What happens afterward?

You receive your written plan within 48 hours. If you want help with the next steps, we can talk about it. There is no obligation.

Where does the session take place?

By video, from wherever you are. You receive the link with your booking confirmation.

Can you help with my visa?

We can explain the main residency routes and what each involves in practice, but eligibility and the application itself are handled by an immigration lawyer. We’ll point you to one.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes, up to 24 hours before your session.

I’m not ready to buy yet. Is this still useful?

Yes. Most people book this before they decide anything.
