We apologize for the initial inconvenience, which was due to an unforeseen personal emergency of our sales representative. We are grateful for your understanding and flexibility in rescheduling. It was a pleasure to have a call with you a few days later. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Professional and Efficient

We have worked with GCS since 2020 to apply for Portugal residency for myself, my husband and our child. We are now waiting to receive our residency card.

Our introduction and orientation took place through video conferences due to the pandemic. We were impressed with GCS’s knowledge and professionalism. They patiently provided everything we needed to know even though we had no prior experience of this kind and asked many repetitive questions. Their fees were also reasonable compared to several other agencies we had contacted.

Throughout the three+ years working with GCS, we have found them to be honest, efficient and resourceful. In addition to having their in-house legal team, they connected us with an associated law firm to process our paperwork. We were given detailed investment options (in our case equity funds or real estate) through meetings with fund managers and their excellent associated real estate company, Goldcrest. Every entity we were connected with through GCS has been very professional. Communications and responses from GCS are always prompt. We also appreciate their secure portal for clients to upload documents.

The only minor disappointment is that the application process is taking longer than we expected, but this is not GCS’s fault but is attributable to slow processing by the probably overwhelmed government agencies.

Not professional

All kinds of promotion on how professional, yet wastes clients time by not even practicing the basics. Call when you have a scheduled meeting. Why would anyone want to beg for basic business with large investments?

Mrs. Nagel,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We apologize if your experience with us did not meet your expectations in terms of professionalism and communication.
It is important for us to clarify that we had two different representatives from our company who dedicated their time in two different pre-scheduled calls to explain the entire application process to you promptly. We strive to respect our clients' time and provide a high level of service.
Regardless of the size of your investment, we value every client and aim to provide the attention and information needed. We apologize if you felt otherwise during your interaction with us.
We appreciate your feedback as it helps us improve our services and enhance the experience for future clients.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to improve your experience in the future.
