Full support to Portugal visa documents and work
We turned to GLW after a disappointing experience with another agency. The difference was clear: professional, transparent, and guaranteed. They staffed a full construction crew for our site in Lithuania. We’re continuing the partnership.

I always dreamed of working in Europe but was afraid of scams. GLW found me a job in a restaurant in Hungary — everything was legal and with a proper contract. Now I’m already in Budapest and very grateful. They delivered on their promise.

Freaquently Ask Questions
We do our best to prepare the documents correctly, but the decision to issue a visa is made exclusively by the consulate. In case of refusal, we will help you with alternative options.
No. This is a violation of the law, and we do not support illegal employment. We work only under official programs.
Yes, the client's presence is mandatory, as it is necessary to submit biometric data. We provide support in preparation, but the submission is always in person.
Usually 4–8 weeks after embassy submission, depending on the country and appointment availability.
If the visa was rejected because of mistakes in our documents we will refund the payment or prepare a new set of the documents free of charge. If the rejection is not related to our documents (e.g., poor bank statement or interview), we don’t refund, but we can offer alternative options.
Yes, for most of the countries it is mandatory. It should show active transactions and a reasonable balance. We recommend to check the requirements directly at the consulate through which you will be applying.
Yes, health insurance is required for visa application. It should cover the period for which visa will be issued
Yes, but only if you have permanent residence permit there
Not immediately. Most countries allow family reunification only after you get a residence permit.
Yes, definitely, the employer will help to apply for the TRC and prolong your visa.
