the purchase.
Madeira relocation and property services, coordinated under a single point of contact, from the purchase through to a settled life on the island.
Finding and buying the right property in Madeira is the beginning, not the end. What follows is where many international buyers encounter challenges: obtaining a NIF, opening a Portuguese bank account, navigating the residency process, which runs differently for EU and non-EU nationals, enrolling children in the appropriate school, understanding the healthcare system, and finding reliable local contractors. Owning a home here does not by itself grant the right to stay, so the purchase and the residency route are best planned together.
This service coordinates all of it. We act as your single point of contact for the full lifecycle of relocation: from the day you decide to move, through the legal setup, and into the rhythm of daily island life. You deal with us. We deal with everyone else.
Administrative setup
Your NIF and Portuguese bank account, handled, foundations in place from day one.
Residency process
The residency route that fits your situation, coordinated with the right professionals.
Settlement support
The everyday essentials of a Madeira life, set up through people we trust.
Expat integration
Schools, community and the introductions that make daily life work, through a network already in place.
D7 visa Madeira: what you need to know
The D7 suits buyers with stable passive or remote income who intend to make Madeira their main residence. We coordinate the documents, NIF, Portuguese bank account, proof of accommodation, and the consular and AIMA steps end to end.
Buyers who are also purchasing a property alongside the relocation will find the complete acquisition process, from NIF to notarial deed, set out in our step-by-step guide to buying property in Madeira safely.
