Our satisfied clients

Heather and her team made my dreams a reality by facilitating the entire visa process to move to Portugal. The process has a lot of tedious and complicated aspects, that I would not have been able to figure out on my own. But that wasn't enough, I have now been in Portugal for 6 months and Heather and her team have continued to offer me support every step of the way from getting my residency card, to my health number, and to providing me with resources and mental health support. I recommend them to everyone I meet!

Lianet Chao

The Boots on the Ground team is definitely the best expat services provider in Portugal! They have a wide range of experience and connections to help with many different needs, and you can count on them to follow up and help you get things done amid the complexity of Portuguese bureaucracy. Most recently, Heather helped me with exchanging my US drivers license with a Portuguese one, a process so mired in confusing bureaucratic steps in both the US and Portugal I thought it might be an impossible mission. But Heather provided solutions each time I encountered an obstacle in the process. Her support has saved my sanity!
