Vivian Perfeito is AMAZING!!! We had two previous immigration attorneys who failed us miserably and we were ready to throw in the towel. Our Realtor, Bruno Silva recommended Vivian and we decided to give it one last shot. She exceeded expectations and seamlessly helped us obtain our D7 visa and residency card. She accompanied us to the appointment, spent time managing our difficult case and was kind, professional and lovely to work with. Vivian is a ROCK STAR, i would recommend her to anyone going through this process. She is very intelligent, organized, a good communicator, and answers emails quickly. Our only regret is not finding her a year ago!

I took a chance with going to see Vivian because I am hesitant about finding someone online. 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. Vivian is a warm and intelligent lawyer, and gave me quality time, and quickly gained an insight into what would be the best way forward for me. We have just started the process but I feel confident she knows her stuff, and has my best interests at heart, a rare quality to find in any person.

Hello my name is Randy Rava. I decided to move to Portugal 🇵🇹. I found Vivian Perfeito on internet. She is worth every penny. Vivian was there for me every step of the way. Her fees are very low, she was always there for me and she always answered my emails and gave me good direction. She is very honest and kind. She put in much more time with me and helped me in many ways. If you want to immigrate to Portugal 🇵🇹 without the help of a lawyer it would be foolish because of the many mistakes that you would make that would cost you valuable time and money. I found Vivian Perfeito and she is a blessing because she knows exactly what to do at every point in the process, her fees are very reasonable and she is very honest and reliable. Without her knowledge of Portuguese law I would have made mistake after mistake and would never have even known it. I highly recommend Vivian Perfeito Advogada extrordinare the finest most skilled lawyer in all of Portugal.

So far I had one call with Dra. Vivian, and I could already see that she is a very nice person who is very knowledgable about her domain. She was able to answer all my questions as well as recommend other people to me who could help me. She actually cares about her client's cases and takes her time to study the case (via email) before joining the call to give the best experience. I highly recommend Dra. Vivian

My wife and I made a decision to start our immigration process in October of 2023. Vivian was recommended to us around that same time.We both appreciate everything Vivian has helped us with through the process. We are now waiting on our visa. Vivian has proved very knowledgeable and without her help, we would have struggled. Her communication has always been excellent and never missed a meeting. We communicated in English with no problems. Her dedication and experience are highly rated by us.

Dr. Vivian was more than a helping hand when I moved to Portugal! In addition to carrying out the work I hired her for, she was always available to answer my questions; and I had many! Always responding to my emails within 24 business hours, she took care of what was a stressful process for me, and helped me focus on the other aspects of the move.
