Hi- we have a entrepreneur visa in Portugal that lasts for four months and are looking to convert it to a residency permit. We have talked with an attorney and her prices seem to be a bit high. We are curious if anyone has any suggestions. We live in Lisbon and have been here for two months.
Thank you.

Hi there! I am in Lisbon and finding my way around still too (3 months here and just registered as a European resident). I do know already that some services try to charge way too much for not much help. You might have luck joint Expats Lisbon Facebook group too- I got helpful advice there and found out how to register as a resident without paying anyone. I do have to hire a fiscal representative here to help me get through to the fortress of the finance office 
wishing you lots of luck and may your dreams for Portugal come true! Kirsty
Hi there again, the Facebook group I have found helpful is ‘expats in Lisbon’. I meant to ask what country you are from? If you are EU then I can tell you, for free, how I got my resident card. But I am guessing you are from another territory seeing as you hav a visa. All the best to you! X
Hi Mara,
For your situation, I know two attorneys who may help you with their usual fair fees. But I am not sure whether if it is allowed to write their contact information on this community forum?
Thank you Kirsty-
We are from the US so your process would be different than our’s. I did find your suggested FB group and was very impressed with your detailed steps- wish we could follow them as you made it so clear.
In time I am sure this will sort out.
Cheers
Mara
Thanks Kourosh- I have sent you a PM so that you can share the information.
All the best
Mara
