From the first conversation he was clear, organized, and honest about what to expect. He guided us through every step. He secured our NIFs, opened our Portuguese bank accounts remotely, reviewed each document, and helped us find housing that met visa requirements. That alone saved us weeks of stress. His English is excellent, which made the process much easier. He always responded quickly. His advice was practical. He never overpromised, and nothing was left to chance. Even with a large family and a complex case, everything stayed on track. We have not arrived in Portugal yet. But everything up to our VFS appointments was handled with precision. João made a complicated process feel manageable. We are glad we found him. João Madeira Pinto tratou de todas as etapas do nosso processo de visto com foco e profissionalismo. Desde a primeira conversa ele foi claro, organizado e honesto sobre o que esperar. Ele nos orientou em cada fase. Conseguiu os nossos NIFs, abriu contas bancárias em Portugal remotamente, reviu todos os documentos e ajudou-nos a encontrar uma habitação que cumprisse os requisitos do visto. Só essa parte já nos poupou semanas de stress. O seu inglês é excelente, o que facilitou muito a comunicação. Respondeu sempre com rapidez. Os conselhos foram práticos. Nunca prometeu demais e nada foi deixado ao acaso. Mesmo com uma família grande e um caso complexo, tudo correu sem problemas. Ainda não chegámos a Portugal. Mas tudo até à marcação no VFS foi tratado com cuidado e precisão. O João tornou um processo complicado em algo que conseguimos gerir com tranquilidade. Ficámos mesmo satisfeitos por tê-lo encontrado. Michael Sinkover2025-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joao showed professionalism, knowledge in the law that was relevant to our issues : R/E and visa option. He is setting up strategy to be able to achieve our goal. He is adaptable responsive especially that we are living in the U.S.A and straight forward with his communications with us. Very happy to have him part of our team. Albert Dayan2025-07-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Joao was great, a steady, smart, available, and extremely knowledgable voice of reason for us as we navigated the many challenges of the immigration system. I can’t recommend him enough! João Torrie2025-07-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Um excelente profissional que tem sido muito útil! Prabhu Satish2025-07-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate to be introduced to Joao Pinto after a stressful experience with a few Facebook group attorneys who left us feeling unprepared and overwhelmed about the D8 visa process. Joao came highly recommended by a trusted friend, and choosing to work with him was one of the best decisions we made. He stands out for his honesty, deep knowledge of Portuguese immigration law, and genuine concern for his clients. He gave us EXACT interpretation of the law and helped us prepare for the interview. He knows his stuff and he answered our questions to the exact point. With his help we were able to meet a tight deadline over the holiday season for a December 31st interview at the Washington DC NSF. With his expert guidance, in the past 9 months we've successfully progressed through the process up to the AIMA interview. He’s not only resourceful and efficient, but also a pleasure to work with. Don’t waste time or money on overpriced lawyers who don’t deliver—João is your guy if you want a trusting partner in your immigration journey in Portugal.
