10/10 experience
Semyon, Manuel and the whole team at Touchdown have been great. NHR 2.0 and the whole regulatory environment in Portugal is really complex, but they helped me quickly understand my circumstances.
They made the process of setting up a company very easy. Management of the day-to-day is so much better than my past experience with accountants in Portugal, we have a Whatsapp group with my accountant making who is always accessible and responsive.
Definitely recommend!
Quick and efficient
The whole experience with Touchdown was amazing, from the onboarding call with Henrique to the follow up accounting. highly recommend them for Portugal business and tax setups
Setup tax, NHR 2.0 and accounting
I came to Portugal on D8 visa. Spoke to many tax lawyers for consultations and Touchdown stood out for their amazing communication, response time and pricing. My initial consultation was Semyon who i felt had a similar journey as an expat and understood my pain points very well.
Then i worked with Manuel who explained me my tax burden in detail, my options in tax regimes, along with actual financial simulation. His understanding is superb. He helped to setup a Portuguese entity, apply for NHR 2.0 and now am doing business and personal accounting with their accountant as well. The whole process was smooth, professional and with clear breakdown of steps. I am not approved yet for NHR 2.0 yet but it’s also related to Portugal tax authorities response time on IFICI applications. I liked that they were honest about current approval rates and processing times.
Overall i would highly recommend them especially for English speaking expats. They help in other services as well as per their on NIF, NISS and AIMA appointments. Rate: 10/10.
Great experiences so far
Great experiences so far - the team is quick, direct, and gets things done. They helped us get NISS documents, translations, and more.

They lured me into paying a €225 consultation fee when I wasn't even eligible for what they were suggesting was the best route for me. Their policy of 'get your money back if you didn't get any value' is not relevant because they are the ones who decide if you received value or not. There are a couple of other good tax advisories in Lisbon who don't charge ANY fee, let alone €225 for a consultation. Ask group chats/your network and DON'T use this company.
efficient and professional
I spoke with Manuel and he was extremely professional and helpful and helped me make better sense of my situation, and recommended a set-up based on it. Would highly recommend this service to any digital nomads or expats planning to move to portugal

Touchdown was fantastic in helping me get my NIF, open my bank account, and manage my tax needs in Portugal. They made the whole process simple and stress-free.
From the start, their team guided me through everything and was quick to answer any questions I had. Their knowledge of local rules was a huge help, and I felt confident with their support.

Touchdown was a lifesaver for my move from Italy to Portugal as I don’t speak “bureaucracy”. They helped me getting my NIF and it was smooth and simple thanks to their AI-powered system that breaks down Portugal’s complex bureaucracy. It’s clearly built by people who get what digital nomads need—no endless paperwork or confusing steps

They are just amazing!!
Touchdown made my move to Portugal smooth and stress-free. Their Visa Adviser got me on the right path for my Digital Nomad Visa, but they also went above and beyond with the NIF and bank account setup. I didn’t realize how much I needed these things to live here, and it all felt complicated—until Touchdown took over. Every step was streamlined, and the support team answered all my questions quickly. Now I’m living in The Algarve with everything in place, and I couldn't be happier!

Best service to move to Portugal
Great place to find the right visa and meet the requirements to move to Portugal.

Very recommended
I wanted to move to portugal for over 2 years and did quite a bit of research. Honestly, Touchdown is probably the best service out there. Other companies that look professional had a ton of hidden fees and terrible websites. The customer service was great, the lawyers that I was assigned (Manuel and Henrique) were incredibly professional and attentive. As I said to their team, im forever grateful for them going above and beyond in my application and helping me file my taxes every quarter as a freelancer.

Professional, Efficient, and Attentive
As someone who appreciates well-organized services, I was genuinely impressed by Touchdown. They helped me obtain my NIF and navigate some rather complex tax requirements for expats in Portugal. The team kept me informed at every stage and handled everything with such professionalism. I’m grateful to have found a service that truly understands the needs of newcomers to Portugal. Ended up saving a whopping 30% in taxes thanks to their international tax team. Really impressive stuff

Extremely excited and ready for portugal
I can’t say enough about how Touchdown has changed my entire experience of planning this big move! Moving to Portugal has been a dream of mine for years, but honestly, I felt overwhelmed by the thought of handling the NIF, bank account setup, and tax planning on my own, let alone all the visa hurdles that you usually go through. I used touchdown to book a consultation and from the first call, their team reassured me with their expertise and friendly approach. They guided me step-by-step, making what things simple. I had every document I needed and got my visa without any issues.
It’s amazing to have such peace of mind, especially moving to a new country. I’m excited to start my new chapter, and I genuinely feel prepared thanks to Touchdown. It’s hard to find a service this thorough and reliable nowadays. I’d highly recommend Touchdown to anyone considering relocating.

NIF and Bank Account Experience
I had an amazing experience with Touchdown while triying to get my NIF and bank account setup. The process was super quick. I want to highlight the great service provided by Manuel helping through the banking setup too. Top class.

Best NIF service I've come across.
Getting a NIF through touchdown was surprisingly fast. Im surprised by how professional and fast the services was. I had a ton of issues with other agencies triying to understand the process. Touchdown was really quick easy to understand and extremely responsive when things were taking longer due to processing delays. Highly recommended.
