Work visas we have handled
We prepared their D1 files. All three work in Portugal today.
A former shop owner. Two years after closing her shop in China, she obtained a D1 on a promise of contract. The first job was in a warehouse, nothing special, but it gave her a footing. A year later she moved to a restaurant and doubled her income. She is now applying for family reunification and plans to open a shop of her own in Portugal.
A machine fitter. Twenty years of skill that was worth less every year at home. He started work the month he arrived in Portugal, was settled within a few months, and has since brought his family over. Skilled trades are in short supply here: no racing to the bottom on price, just do the work well and a decent, stable life follows.
A former supermarket owner. After selling his supermarket he chose to start again in a new country. He now drives deliveries for a warehouse, with meals and housing included and a wage that is good for the role. The rent he does not pay is his first savings here.
The Employer Match Report opened in 2026; the visa step behind it is what we have done for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the process, the pricing and what we cover where.
e-expat is the coordination and client-support layer for your move: we assess your case, prepare and check your documents, and manage every deadline and appointment. We do not issue documents or file regulated applications ourselves. Licensed professionals in the destination country do that, in Portugal the solicitadores, lawyers and accountants in our partner network, and you are always told who is acting on your file.
