Sendo cidadão português, vivendo noutro país da Europa e com a necessidade de me mudar para o Brasil em um prazo apertado, encontrei na Visa Brazil Services o parceiro ideal para conduzir todo o processo de forma eficiente. A Lais, desde o primeiro momento, foi bastante acolhedora e fez de tudo para entender as necessidades específicas que eu tinha, personalizando o serviço para que eu chegasse ao Rio e conseguisse começar a trabalhar imediatamente. Recomendo os serviços da Visa Brazil Services e da Lais para qualquer assunto migratório para o Brasil ou do Brasil para o exterior.Posted on John AlvinoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

K.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lais hat mir bei der Beantragung eines Investorenvisums in hochprofessioneller und effektiver Weise geholfen. Die brasilianische Bürokratie ist nicht zu unterschätzen, und ich bin froh, dass ich nicht allein versucht habe, mich da durchzuarbeiten, obwohl ich fließend portugiesisch spreche. Ich kann sie zu 100% empfehlen. Der Kontakt mir ihr war zudem durchgehend angenehm und unkompliziert. Muito obrigado, Lais!Posted on Adriaan du ToitTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From my first contact with Ms. Goncalves to the approval of my retirement VISA I was given professional prompt representation. Lais explained the process thoroughly, and always stayed in touch. I do not believe it would of been possible to have a better Attorney for my VISA. I felt the amount charged was fair, and I plan on using Visa Brazil Services for my renewal. I would recommend their services without any hesitation at all.Posted on giovanni airaghiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lais made it all happen like magic !
