Southern Portugal · Algarve · Faro district.

From here we assist Brazilians and other foreign nationals who live in the Algarve or elsewhere in the country with citizenship, residence, property and inheritance matters.
What we handle from Albufeira
- Portuguese citizenship: children and grandchildren of Portuguese citizens, marriage and length of residence. See citizenship step by step.
- Visas and residence permits, including renewals and AIMA delays. See residence permit and lawsuit against AIMA.
- Buying, selling and renting property in Portugal. See buying and selling property and renting a home.
- Inheritance with assets in Portugal, declaration of heirs and wills. See international succession.
- Golden Visa, under the investment options currently in force. See Golden Visa.
Serving the whole Algarve
Albufeira sits in the middle of the Algarve coast, which makes it easier to assist people living in other towns in the region, such as Faro, Loulé, Portimão, Lagos or Tavira. Many of our Algarve clients have recently arrived from Brazil and need to sort out their residence, NIF and rental, and later their citizenship, all at the same time.
How we work
Whichever office or city you are closest to, Sene & Araújo is always your point of contact. The first step is a conversation, in person by appointment or by video call, to understand your situation and list the documents needed. From there, the team handles the steps in Brazil and in Portugal and keeps you informed at every stage.
Whenever needed, the team in Portugal attends in person at civil registry offices and other Portuguese public services.
