I’m here to help; it’s second nature to me.
My primary focus is Visa consulting. With extensive and diverse experience, I’m equipped to assist at every stage, from scouting to becoming an official Expat or Immigrant in this wonderful country.

bridging communities and culture
Get to know Sara
Having immigrated to the UK and Brazil from Portugal, I grasp the frustration and uncertainty of this journey. As a native Portuguese speaker, I empathize and offer assistance, from simple tasks like scheduling appointments to complex ones like upgrading electrical systems, ordering custom hot tubs, school registrations, resolving bureaucratic issues, and leveraging my language and cultural skills to ensure tasks are completed efficiently.

Heather is the first person I would turn to if I was moving to Portugal. She shared her personal journey to Portugal and I followed it closely. She did things intelligently and has only gained more knowledge through her experience. She will be a wealth of information and help to her clients. Heather is one of the most honest and hardest working people I know. I would trust her completely and know that she will advocate for clients (and friends and animals) tirelessly. I highly recommend her!
