Global Citizen Solutions Reviews 

Global Citizen Solutions has been fantastic every step of the way. From the very beginning, they’ve been incredibly gracious, responsive, and thorough. They made sure all of our questions and concerns were fully addressed, and often anticipated things we hadn’t even thought about—providing helpful information and thoughtful suggestions throughout the process.

We especially appreciate that they are locally based in Lisbon, with strong ties to what’s happening on the ground in Portugal. Everyone on the entire team has been wonderful. They supported us every step of the way on our journey so far and we’ve always felt well taken care of.

We evaluated several different companies before deciding on GCS, and every interaction since has confirmed that we made the right choice. We highly recommend Global Citizen Solutions to anyone considering their services.

The GCS team enabled a seamless and low stress experience with preparing my packet for visa review and with the biometrics review process. I never could have navigated this process without them. I would highly recommend working with the team.

I highly recommend Global Citizen Solutions (GCS) for anyone navigating the Portuguese Golden Visa program. Their "one-stop-shop" model is truly exceptional—having tax, real estate, and legal services all under one roof made a complex, multi-year process feel seamless and well-coordinated.

I want to give special recognition to Julia Monteiro, the Legal Manager. Julia was on top of my case for over two years, consistently removing blockers and providing vital support with the Portuguese embassies in both the UAE and Egypt. What stood out most was her personal commitment; she was physically present with me during the biometrics collection in South Portugal, which provided immense peace of mind. If you are looking for a firm that offers both professional expertise and dedicated personal support, GCS is the right choice.

Very kind and proactive team that guided me through the process. Everyone was knowledgable and overall I was very happy and comfortable with my decision to work with them.

When we began to plan for our retirement we spent time researching various relocation companies. As always we selected three and had preliminary calls with each. After the three calls it was immediately obvious that GCS was the best. Since then we have relocated to Portugal and patted ourselves on the back for finding the most professional, knowledgeable, and helpful group of people. Not only have they helped us with all the legal and statutory issues, they connected us with the best real estate brokers, and set up our banking and health insurance. We have been in Portugal for 9 months and still have a positive working relationship with GCS. The very best thing about them is they will stay with you to help for as long as you need them. If you have any questions about taxes, health insurance, residency, finances, or anything else the team is there to help. If they can’t answer a question they will take the time to connect you with someone who can. Absolutely the best decision we have made related to our relocation abroad!!!

Yanimar assisted us on every step of the process and connected us up with necessary banking and other service providers who facilitated the steps towards my golden visa. I can’t recommend them highly enough, Mark Fischer

The team with GCS are outstanding. There are a number of challenges with most moves, let alone relocation. All members are prompt, thoughtful and knowledgeable in their approach. We experienced a few last minute legislation changes that affected our circumstances. But let us know immediately. So much so we showed up to a few appointments shocking the interviewer with how thorough our application was. Special shoutout to Alícia, Rachel and Luan for getting us over the finish line. Highly recommend!

Global Citizens Solutions greatly simplified our move to Portugal. The personable staff kept us informed every step of the way, and provided us with helpful updates to the various processes, both in our country of origin and destination.

The expat community will generally warn new members against employing "expensive" consultants, claiming that a Do-It-Yourself approach is better. The same community members then inevitably share nightmare stories about various delays and problems they faced. With GCS helping us, we faced none of these issues; our move was smooth.

Less than one year elapsed from the date we first contacted GCS to the receipt of our Resident cards at our new home address. There is no way we could have done the move that quickly and pain-free without the help of Patricia and her team (Ana, Barbara and others), and their associates at GoldCrest.

Highly Recommended!

The company are expert at navigating Portugal D7 visa process. But what they do best is the personal presence and guidance at our AIMA appointment. We had 2 appointment in totally separate parts of Portugal. But we had fantastic representation at both offices that made each one very easy for us.

GCS was amazingly thourough, understanding, and kind. I am very grateful to my friend who referred me to them.

Helpful guidance through the process with clear requirements and dates. But the real value is for the in-person team at your visa/citizenship appointments -- navigating these offices can be arcane and the GCS team does it every day! Plus they're friendly, capable, and helpful along the way. Special shoutout to Beatriz and Marina in PT.

I have been using Global Citizen Solutions for about 10 months now. They have helped me every step of the way. I could not have gotten this far without them. Hopefully I've only got about 4 to 6 months to go. Peace

We’ve been working with the team at GCS for about 18 months now and it’s the best decision we have ever made. Without them, and without Goldcrest, going through the migration process would have been a difficult journey. From general advice to attending AIMA appointments with us, from organising NIFs to providing contacts for other disciplines - nothing was ever a problem for anyone on the team. Amazing service. Yes, you pay for it but every little bit of it was not an expense but an investment. Can’t thank them enough. 100% recommended.

We have been clients of GCS since 2019 and have used them for our Golden Visa process in Portugal. We have had a seamless professional experience with their team since day one. They helped us with the purchase of not one, but two properties and we are now full-time residents of Portugal. They could not have made the application process for citizenship any easier and they have always been extremely responsive and reliable.

I went through the Portuguese Golden Visa process with GCS and had a very smooth and reassuring experience. The whole team was professional, well-coordinated, and gave me confidence throughout the journey. I’m very satisfied with my choice.

I had a truly positive experience working with the GCS team on my visa process. They were consistently clear in their guidance, quick to provide updates, and available when I needed support. Their professionalism was matched with genuine care, which made a complex process feel much more manageable. I’m very grateful for their help and would highly recommend their services.

Aline was always quick to reply. Even for silly questions. Liked that.

I obtained my Grenadian passport with the help of GCS.The sensation of freedom

Joe helped me in choosing between St. Kitts and Dominica. I'm so happy I picked St. Kitts!

I contacted 3 companies. GCS was the only one that didn’t just try to “close” me. Joe actually listened. Happy I chose them.
