We are the Community
Think of this site as the central square ("praça central") in the immigration village, where you can swap stories and learn from other users' experiences.
We host experts, via the blog, to keep the community informed on the latest news. They're not here to advertise, just to add value.
We've built a one-stop shop for learning about Portugal's Golden Visa program, how it works, and every significant player in the space.
Welcome to the Golden Visa Community!

We are all the Community.
Our Story
Hi, I'm Ephraim Austin. I launched the Golden Visa Community (with a little help from my friends) after a run of disappointing customer service in Portugal's immigration space.
Historically, it's an opaque industry. New customers face an uphill battle as they guess at who will provide a good service - some are lucky while others find out the hard way that they guessed incorrectly...
Now, we make up a Community who can pool our experiences and lift up those committed service providers who are passionate about ensuring good experiences for customers.
It isn't my choice who sinks and who swims - that's down to you, the Community.
The Community (that's you!) writes reviews about their experiences with service providers. Investors who come after can see plainly who deserves their custom.
This transparency lifts the bar across the whole market creating a race to the top in customer service.
