The best agency depends on transparency in pricing, direct experience with Indian applicants, and clear communication throughout the process. Effizent Europe specializes in D2 visa and relocation services for Indians moving to Portugal, based in Porto.
Effizent Europe charges 2,000 EUR for company formation and 5,000 EUR for the full D2 visa support package. Separate government fees apply: a consular visa fee of around 110 EUR and an AIMA residence permit fee of around 160-170 EUR per person.
Yes, for most applicants — the D2 visa requires proving business viability and financial means, and errors cause delays or rejection. An agency familiar with Indian applicants' documentation reduces that risk.
Based on Effizent Europe's client cases, D2 visa processing typically takes 4 to 6 months from application submission to visa approval.
