Why Algarve Made Easy
Carlos
Gomes
Founder & Relocation Consultant · Vilamoura
"Behind Algarve Made Easy is one person — me, Carlos. Local, Portuguese, and always at the end of the phone. Not a bot, not an agency in Lisbon. I am the bridge between your challenges and their solutions."
Born Local
Portuguese, raised in the Algarve. I know the system, the people, and how things actually work here. I have also lived abroad — I know first-hand how overwhelming it can be to navigate a new country alone.
Multilingual
Portuguese, English & Spanish fluently, basic French. Every document, appointment and call is handled in a language you fully understand — nothing gets lost in translation.
Trusted Network
A carefully built network spanning the Algarve — from lawyers and accountants to tradespeople, schools and lifestyle services. Whatever you need, I know exactly who to call.

Carlos handled everything from our NIF to our residency application. What would have taken us months of stress was done in weeks. He always answered within the hour and explained everything clearly.

As a digital nomad, I needed my NIF and bank account sorted fast. Carlos had both done in a week. He also connected me with a great local accountant. Genuinely couldn't have done it without him.

We moved our family of four from the US. Carlos managed our D7 visa, school applications and even helped us find a house. He treats you like a person, not a client number. Highly recommend.

FAQ

Questions we hear
every day.

Not at all. Most of the initial steps — NIF registration, bank account opening, visa preparation — can be done remotely. Many clients start the process from their home country and arrive in Portugal with everything already in place.
The NIF (Número de Identificação Fiscal) is your Portuguese tax number. You need it for almost everything — opening a bank account, renting or buying property, signing contracts, registering a car, and applying for residency. It's the first thing to get, and we make it fast and straightforward.
It depends on your situation — whether you're retired, employed remotely, running a business, or investing. The most common options are the D7 Passive Income Visa, the Digital Nomad Visa, and the D2 Entrepreneur Visa. We assess your situation in the free consultation and recommend exactly what fits.
Typically between 6 and 12 months for the full residency card, depending on the visa type and AIMA appointment availability. However, once your visa is approved you can live legally in Portugal during this period. We manage the entire process and keep you updated at every stage.
Absolutely. Many clients come to us after arriving and realising how complex the system is. Whether you need to regularise your situation, open a bank account, register your car, or sort out your NIF — we can help at any stage of your journey.
A 30-minute call with Carlos where we assess your situation, identify exactly what you need, map out the steps and timeline, and give you a clear picture of costs — with no obligation to proceed. Most people leave the call knowing exactly what to do next.
Yes. Carlos is a licensed insurance broker and can provide personalised options for health, home, life, and car insurance in Portugal. This is a significant advantage — rather than navigating Portuguese insurance providers alone, you get expert advice in your language with access to all major options.
Carlos works fluently in Portuguese, English and Spanish, and has basic French. All appointments, documents and communications are handled in a language you fully understand — nothing gets lost in translation.
