About SHIJIA Portugal
A Lisbon-rooted team — lawyers, advisors, one accountable group
SHIJIA Portugal is a Lisbon-based service group, registered in 2023 and focused exclusively on Portugal. Our office on Avenida da Liberdade keeps in-person work and government-side liaison close at hand. Most of our clients live here long-term, run companies here, or hold property here — we work much more like a local representative than a one-shot visa broker.
Every engagement is handled by our in-house legal team and a dedicated client manager — directly, end-to-end. From visa filings, NIF, bank accounts and AIMA appointments, to company incorporation, monthly bookkeeping and IVA / IRC, to property management and annual tax — there is one accountable team, one set of fees, and no chain of brokers in between.
We support all five Portuguese residency routes — D1, D2, D7, D8, and the Golden Visa (ARI). From first consultation to permanent residence or Portuguese citizenship, the same lawyer and the same advisor stay with each client throughout. Every milestone is tracked in plain view, every fee is set in writing, and every commitment lives in a formal contract.

How we work
From first call to long-term maintenance — every step in plain view

Based on the review, we agree on the recommended path, expected duration and fee structure.
04
Document checklist
A detailed checklist with templates clarifies what's needed on the source side and in Portugal.

Sign the formal service agreement; payment is staged and responsibilities are explicit.

Long-term care
After arrival we continue with renewals, tax, company and property matters as needed.
Why SHIJIA
We don't just deliver a visa — we accompany your journey in Portugal
We're closer to a long-term advisory team than a one-shot agent. What matters to us is whether your life and your business actually run smoothly after you arrive.
Compliance first
Every plan is grounded in Portuguese law. We don't promise outcomes and we don't suggest workarounds.
Lisbon office, in-house lawyers
An office on Avenida da Liberdade, dedicated client managers and our own legal team handle every step on the ground — from AIMA appointments to registry and bank liaison.
Clear service terms
Scope, fees and boundaries are written into a formal contract — no later surprises.
Long-term support
From the first visa to renewals, taxes, company maintenance and property management — we stay involved.
Cross-border coordination
Source-side notarisation and apostille run in parallel with the Portuguese-side filings, shortening the overall timeline without bouncing between intermediaries.
Trusted partners
Long-standing relationships with licensed local law firms, accounting firms and financial institutions give the chain a stable backbone.
