Hi! My name is Kseniia Gavrilova.
I moved to Portugal with my team in September 2022 on a StartUp visa program. Originally, I'm from Russia, and as you can guess it's not an easy time for us to move abroad. We submitted the application in May, having no idea what reaction we'll get due to tons of European sanctions and all the hot discussions going on.
However, we had a dream and project before everything began so we applied despite all our fears. Eventually, we got approval in 28 days (which is near to impossible these days) and residence cards in 14 days!
Hard to believe it! Was it a miracle?
I don't think so. In fact, there's a lot of work and research behind it!
No agent was paid throughout the whole process.
I want to share my experience with all who want to move to Portugal and save
- time searching for answers,
- money on agents who have no clue,
- nerves going through the migration process.
