I came to Dra. Vivian in a very stressful situation. After more than 2 years waiting for my first residency card in Portugal, my AIMA portal was showing a rejection proposal and I had no idea what to do next. I had missed a document deadline, submitted documents physically with no receipt, and felt completely lost. Dra. Vivian acted quickly and professionally. She submitted a formal legal request to AIMA on my behalf and within just 15 days my case went from a rejection proposal to fully approved. I received my official AIMA declaration confirming my residence authorization today. She is responsive, honest about costs and timelines, and clearly knows exactly how to deal with AIMA cases. I would highly recommend Dra. Vivian to any immigrant in Portugal who is struggling with AIMA or residency issues. She genuinely helps people and gets results when it feels like all hope is lost. Thank you Dra. Vivian, I will never forget your help.

Dra. Vivian Perfeito is incredible. My husband and I got stuck in our immigration process with no idea what to do next. We scheduled a consultation with Dra. Perfeito and she was extremely helpful. At a time when my husband and I were feeling hopeless, she lifted us up and provided the perfect path and plan for us to continue our dreams here in Portugal. We could write one-million words to describe how helpful, caring and smart Dra. Perfeito is. Though we are so overjoyed we find ourselves almost speechless. We will absolutely be continuing to get assistance with our immigration process from Dra. Perfeito. We recommend her so so so SO highly. If you have any doubts about booking a consultation with her, throw the doubts away and BOOK THE CONSULTATION. Dra. Vivian Perfeito is a life saver and our guardian angel on earth. If we could rate her TEN-THOUSAND STARS, we would. We are eternally grateful to have found her.

I can not recommend Vivian enough! I hired her when I was in London, preparing to apply for the Digital Nomad Visa, and she was phenomenal! Her advice was clear, she was understanding, and was always quick to communicate. There was an instance where I flew into Porto to attend to some matters, and within a day, with Vivian's help, I had obtained my tax number and a bank account. As someone who could barely make sense of the entire process, I can only say that Vivian was the perfect person to hire, and I highly recommend her for anyone else in a similar position.

But, not knowing many people in PT, and after seeing Vivian speaking confidently and concisely on YouTube links and sharing knowledge generously, I made an appointment and went to see her about my current and future residency status.
