The posting

Locations: Portugal, Spain, Italy, (Greece coming soon)

Contract: Full-time (employee or contractor/EOR)

Reports to: Head of Legal & Compliance

Start: ASAP

The mission

Own end-to-end immigration casework for high-net-worth clients pursuing investment-based residency (fund-first approach). You’ll drive files from intake → approval with zero drama: tight timelines, clean paperwork, predictable outcomes.

What you’ll do

  • Case ownership: Run 20–40 active files concurrently from KYC to residence card in hand. No hand-holding required.
  • Eligibility & strategy: Assess client profiles and recommend the best legal route (Portugal GV/fund route, PT D7/D8 where relevant; Spain investor & entrepreneur routes; Greece investor route as we launch).
  • Documentation: Prepare, review, and file applications, PoAs, declarations, and certified translations; manage apostilles, police clearances, and medical/travel requirements.
  • Regulatory process: Portugal: NIF, bank onboarding coordination, notarial acts, AIMA portal filings, biometrics scheduling, renewals. Spain: NIE, investment proof, consular filings, UGE/large-company/residence unit filings, renewals. Greece: Bank and investment proof, appointment bookings, residence permits (on launch).
  • Fund-route execution (Portugal focus): Coordinate with regulated fund managers and banks on compliant subscription proof (no investment advice), confirm source-of-funds/KYC standards, ensure filings reflect the law.
  • Client comms: Keep clients informed with clear, weekly status updates. Kill ambiguity early.
  • Quality & speed: Hit SLAs for file opening, submission, biometrics, and card delivery. Maintain immaculate records in our CRM (Odoo).
  • Risk & compliance: Enforce AML/KYC, data protection, and conflict-check protocols. Escalate red flags immediately.
  • Knowledge: Track legal/regulatory changes and update internal playbooks and templates.

Minimum requirements (don’t apply if you miss these)

  • Admitted lawyer in jurisdiction of work (e.g., Portugal: Ordem dos Advogados; Spain: Colegio de Abogados), in good standing.
  • 3+ years post-qualification in immigration or administrative law with hands-on investor visa experience (Portugal and/or Spain).
  • Demonstrated case throughput at scale (show numbers).
  • English + local language (C1+).
  • Ruthless attention to detail; you don’t make careless errors.
  • Comfortable with client-facing work for HNW/UHNW profiles and their advisors (bankers, fund managers, notaries).

Nice to have

  • Direct experience with Portugal Golden Visa (fund route) post-rule changes.
  • Bank onboarding for non-residents, notarial coordination, and remote PoA workflows.
  • Knowledge of tax touchpoints with immigration (you’ll liaise with our tax team; you won’t give tax advice).
  • Greek investor route exposure.
  • Tools: Odoo (or any CRM), Google Workspace, DocuSign, Slack, Notion.

How we measure success (KPIs)

  • Approval rate (primary)
  • Cycle time: client signed → file submitted; submission → biometrics; biometrics → card in hand
  • First-time acceptance (no avoidable RQ/deficiency)
  • Client NPS on case close
  • Documentation error rate (target: near-zero)

What success looks like in 90 days

  • Fully running 20+ active files with on-track SLAs.
  • Zero avoidable rejections/deficiencies.
  • Updated country playbooks and templates reflecting any recent rule changes.
  • Positive client feedback and internal references from sales/ops.

Compensation

  • Competitive base + per-case performance bonus tied to approvals and cycle-time targets.
  • Equipment/software covered.
  • Flexible work with EU-friendly time zones. Contractor or EOR employment depending on country.

Important notes

  • You do not provide investment advice. Your job is legal execution and compliance coordination for investment-based routes.
  • We expect ownership. If waiting on a third party, you chase and unblock.

Application

  • Subject: Immigration Lawyer — [Portugal/Spain/Greece] — Your Name
  • CV (max 2 pages), bar registration proof, and a short note (≤300 words) covering: Recent investor-visa wins (route, volume, timelines) Your average submission-to-biometrics cycle time One process improvement you implemented that moved the needle

What’s great in the job?

  • High-impact work: secure residency for HNW clients via fund-first routes.
  • Real ownership of cases (25–40 active files) with clear SLAs and support.
  • Zero bureaucracy. Fast decisions, tight templates, calm execution.
  • Deep exposure to Portugal/Spain now (Greece next) across banks, funds, notaries, consulates.
  • Remote-first, EU-friendly hours, flexible schedule.
  • Performance bonuses tied to approvals and cycle times.
  • Direct access to leadership; your improvements get shipped.
  • Rock-solid playbooks, paralegal help, and a CRM that actually works (Odoo).

What We Offer

You’ll see your impact from day one. We reward speed, accuracy, and client satisfaction—not meeting time. Expect clear goals, the right tools, and a team that unblocks fast. We’re remote-first with regular in-person meetups.

Perks

  • Competitive base + per-case bonus (approvals & cycle time).
  • Remote-first with flexible hours (EU time zones).
  • Generous paid time off per local law.
  • Equipment & software provided.
  • Professional indemnity covered by the firm (jurisdiction-specific).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
