Find the right way to move to Portugal.
RYCO helps remote workers, freelancers, students, and families understand their visa and residence options, prepare the right documents, and connect with an independent, verified immigration lawyer when they need one.
How it works
Tell us about your situation
Answer a few short questions about your work, your family, and your plans for Portugal.
See your options clearly
We lay out the visa and residence routes that are relevant to you, in plain language, along with what each one generally requires.
Prepare, with support if you want it
Work through a guided document checklist, and connect with an independent, verified immigration lawyer whenever you'd like professional advice.
Who it's for
Remote workers
Working for a company or clients based outside Portugal? We help you understand the routes designed for remote income and what to prepare before you apply.
Freelancers & independent professionals
If you invoice clients directly, we help you make sense of the residence options available to self-employed applicants.
Students
Planning to study in Portugal? We help you understand the residence process that runs alongside your enrollment.
Families
Moving with a partner and children, or reuniting with family already in Portugal? We help you understand how family cases are generally handled.
People moving from Brazil & Portuguese-speaking African countries
Portugal's ties with Brazil and CPLP countries mean there are specific agreements and routes that may apply to you. We help you find the ones relevant to your situation.
