Relocation, investments, purchasing real estate, or resolving personal legal matters in another country — all this requires not only language skills but also a deep understanding of local legislation. Even seemingly simple actions — from registering with AIMA to executing a transaction — can become complicated without qualified legal support.
MoveToCascais offers legal services for clients in Portugal. Our specialists speak Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and English, which is especially important when resolving complex legal issues abroad. We help you navigate legal processes, avoid mistakes, and protect your interests in any situation.
We provide a wide range of legal assistance covering the main areas most frequently encountered by immigrants and residents in Portugal. In cooperation with MoveToCascais, you can receive:
Lawyer's presence during a personal visit to AIMA (Immigration Service) to submit documents for residence permits, renewals, or status changes. Protection of the client's interests in communication with government bodies.
Handling civil, administrative, and immigration cases in court. Representation of the client's interests at all stages of the judicial process.
Submission of an official request to the court to demand an appointment date and time with AIMA, if standard booking methods do not yield results.
Preparation and filing of legal complaints against refusals in residence permits, renewals, or other status-related/visa-free residence matters.
Portuguese legislation has its own specifics, and trying to solve an issue independently without the support of a lawyer can lead to a protracted process, denials, fines, or improperly prepared documents. This is especially relevant for those who have recently arrived in the country and are still not fully familiar with the rules and procedures.
For example, when obtaining or renewing a residence permit, it is not enough to simply translate documents; you need an immigration lawyer in Portugal who understands the internal structure of AIMA, knows how to work with documents, and can competently file an appeal or submit a court request.
If you are already involved in a court case or preparing for a transaction or legal process, it is important that you are represented by a Portuguese lawyer who has the right to practice in local courts. Otherwise, even if you are in the right, your rights may not be properly protected.
Before making a decision, it's important to understand whether legal action is truly necessary in your case. That's exactly why we offer a lawyer consultation — it will help assess risks, prepare documents, form a strategy, and simply give you confidence in your situation.
We work both locally and remotely. If you are not in Portugal or do not want to travel, we can schedule a meeting online at a convenient time. All consultations are conducted by an experienced Russian-speaking lawyer in Portugal, so you don't have to worry about the language barrier.
Legal support should be not only professional but also humane: with respect, attention, and transparent conditions. MoveToCascais is a team where every client receives a personal approach, honest deadlines, and an adequate assessment of the situation.
The team includes an experienced private lawyer with a verified qualification and practical experience in judicial and administrative cases throughout Portugal. We work with individuals, families, and businesses, understand the cultural and language characteristics of our clients, and offer simple solutions even in complex situations.
Legal assistance is not only about solving a current problem, but also a way to prevent its occurrence in the future. Trust professionals and focus on what really matters — your life, business, and family.
MoveToCascais operates throughout Portugal, providing high-quality services and supporting you at every stage. Make an appointment for a consultation and receive the help you can rely on.
Some services can be challenging to handle on your own. Trust our team of professionals to guide you through every step.
Our team offers a full range of legal services in Portugal: from support at AIMA and filing court appeals to legal assistance with real estate transactions, recognition of cohabitation, and analysis of international documents. All services are provided with consideration of your individual situation.
Yes, if your case involves court, administrative authorities, or legal transactions within the country, a Portuguese lawyer authorized to represent clients in Portugal is required. We work with licensed attorneys admitted to practice.
An immigration lawyer in Portugal specializes specifically in visa, residence permit, citizenship, AIMA matters, and appeals of administrative decisions. They are aware of all current changes in immigration law and can quickly navigate complex situations.
A lawyer consultation can be conducted online or in person and usually lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, the lawyer thoroughly reviews your case, answers questions, helps assess risks, and offers possible solutions.
Of course. The MoveToCascais team includes an English-speaking lawyer in Portugal, as well as specialists who speak Russian, Ukrainian, and Portuguese. This helps avoid misunderstandings and makes communication much easier.
Most often, clients seek support at AIMA, preparation of CPCV, legal representation in court, assistance with recognition of foreign decisions, and lawyer consultations before relocation or investment.
If you have an in-person visit to the immigration service (AIMA) — for a visa, residence permit, or renewal — we will provide a lawyer to accompany you, ensuring that your interests are protected and taken into account.
We handle court cases of various categories: from immigration and civil to administrative. We protect our clients at every stage, carefully prepare documents, and represent your position in court.
If it is impossible to book an AIMA appointment through standard means, we submit an official court request to set a date. This is a legal way to speed up the process.
Received a refusal from the immigration service? We will prepare and file a legal complaint to challenge an unfair decision and defend your rights.
