Preparing a visa or residence application? Article 20 lists what the authorities will check.

We prepare the company side of the file (employment contracts, payroll, tax and social security registrations, proof of activity) and coordinate with immigration lawyers on the application. A written answer and a fixed quote within one working day.

Unofficial English translation prepared by BCA Portugal for reference. Only the Portuguese text published in the Diário da República has legal force. Editorial notes are ours and are not part of the statute.

Applying the law

Visa and residence files, with the company side in order

Most refusals come from a missing document or an inconsistency between the contract, the payroll and the tax records. Tell us the route you are applying for, and we will check the company documents the Regulation requires.
