That advice is not wrong because anyone is careless. It is wrong because the rules move constantly and almost nobody goes back to check. Portugal changed its citizenship timeline in May. Spain abolished the golden visa last year. Italy cut off great-grandparents. The articles ranking for those topics still describe the old rules.

This is the opposite of that. You tell us your actual situation. We research it against the law as it stands this week, name the specific instrument every figure comes from, and write it up for you.

What that standard actually looks like

An extract from work published this week, so you can judge the quality before paying for any of it:

Portugal raised naturalisation from 5 years to 7 for EU and CPLP nationals and 10 for everyone else. That is Lei Organica n.o 1/2026, published in Diario da Republica on 18 May 2026, in force the next day. The clock now starts when your residence permit is issued, not when you applied, which quietly pushes a lot of people's start date later than they think.
Article 4 required the government to publish the amended Nationality Regulation within 90 days. That deadline was 16 August 2026 and it passed without publication, so the civic knowledge test and the documentary rules for proving your residence period are still undefined.

That is the level of specificity you get, applied to your own case rather than to a country in general.

What you get

Your top 3 countries, ranked for your nationality, income, household and timeline. Not a generic list. If your obvious choice is wrong for you, we say so and explain why.
For your best option: the exact visa route, the current financial threshold with the instrument it comes from, the documents required, realistic timeline, and what it costs in total.
The three things most likely to go wrong given your specific profile, which is usually where the money and the months get lost.
Where the rules are unsettled or about to change, stated plainly, including anything that is widely reported but not actually law yet.

What this is not

It is not legal advice and we are not lawyers. We do not file anything for you or represent you. What we do is research your situation against published law and official sources, and tell you what we find and where it came from, so that when you do speak to a lawyer or a consulate you already know which questions matter. For many people that is the whole job. For some it is the thing that makes the expensive conversation short.

Tell us your situation

Free to start. You decide after you have answered.

You answer the questions first and pay afterwards, once you can see what we would be working from. The form is longer than most, because passports, family status, immigration history and whether your income can be evidenced decide the answer far more often than the things people expect to be asked. Only two fields are required and you can stop and come back. If we read your answers and conclude we are the wrong people to help, we say so instead of taking your money.

Who this is for

People who have narrowed it down and now need to be right. If you are still browsing and enjoying the daydream, our free tools and country guides will serve you better and cost you nothing, and you should use those instead. This is worth paying for at the point where a wrong assumption starts costing real money: before you give notice, before you pay a deposit, before you book the flights.
