We cannot believe your bad luck on applying foe your visa, we are simply appalled and upset for you!! We wish you every success in whichever direction you decide to go with this and will be watching avidly for any updates. Good luck all, keep your chins up and don't give up!! 🤞🤞🥰
Sorry to know about your visa status!
A Portuguese lawyer could help you! Like EI or MDM legal!
The minimum is 8×2 thats 16k for the first person and more for the family as they give us a two year visa these days!
Also enrolling your child in local school helps, as I hear from others!
Follow a few in portugal so far you the only once that failed the visa, only diffrent to the others, they have a brick house they in. Maybe thats the stumpling block
how are you feeling about brexit?
Do the rules change if you have a child born in Portugal?
I'm so sorry; that's awful news. Immigration bureaucracy can be so difficult and stressful to navigate (anywhere in the world…)
Never ever had I been wishing so hard for a click bait and an happy ending…but this is life, I am sorry to say. The red tape and the arbitrary process of soon to be everything is painful. Unfortunatly the Brexit did its part, the influx of people in the area did its part (different lifestyles and increasing prices for the locals and all that). It is a pain in the butt for regular people who gets swooped away with the same brush, even though their intentions are totally legit. I would say you are just victims of a change in a general policy from Portugal and that You need a portugese migration lawyer who can speak your voice. Because if it is only technicalities they turn you down on, uaually a local lawyer can make minced meat out of that in a heartbeat….and in the long run, the cost for that would be like a minor disturbance compare to all the mental disturbance, hassle and costs of selling it all and leave. Just book an appointment with one and lets hear what he has to say…and guys, break a leg! I really want to see You continue your life in Portugal.
You must search for others expat comunities that are living in Portugal. They will help you. Be brave and good luck.
so sorry to hear this, I am awaiting my D7 and its a nail biting time. i wish you light and love and a good outcome.
Don't sale up cuz love watching your vids on your land.
Y carnt you keep your land.
As dom rea minds me of me school days. He looks like me Headmaster.
I'm sorry that you not got your visa, so wot happens now I do hope it works out for you and do get your visa s, cuz love watching your vids . And seeing wot you have dun with your land.
Slagging off the Portugese immigration office, as you did in a widely watched video a few months back was a really bad idea, as i mentioned in the comments at the time. You should have taken that video down. Make the authorities of the country you wish to emigrate to your friend, not your enemy. UK citizens are third country applicants to live in Portugal, no different to Pakistani or Albanian applicants. They have no special rights after their hard Brexit.You need to realise that. As a long time subscriber to your channel i would appreciate if you didnt delete this comment as you did my similar comment last night. Any comment i make is as an admirer of your family not from any negative feelings toward you. I wish you all the luck in the world. You deserve it as a family.
I had really hoped this would be a click bait title 😢 really feel for you guys and sending you positive thoughts. Hopefully, you will be able to get in touch with the right person and all will be resolved ❤️
Did you think about the Sephardic Jew line?
You have said quite a few Times on your tube , your broke , mum brought you a pump etc , you sure the authorities have not watched these videos, just a thought , if you do the take to court option, you might have to do some editing 😉 just being devils advocate here , I love your videos
I really hope this goes your way , but if not could you find another like mind couple or groups, who could alternate 90 days on your land with you to keep your dream alive until hopefully the 90 day situation is improved or you get your well deserved visa
All the best for future
Well this is shite.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. I hope you can find a way to stay. Hugs.
I know I don’t know your family but I feel so upset about your situation. I hope things change and you can stay on the wildelands ❤
How frustrating…..so sorry to hear this. I wonder if the new Entrepreneurs Visa available from 31st October could be of help.
❤️🙏✌️
I so feel your pain, really hope it sorts itself out soon for as I really do understand the toil it takes.. Found myself in a similar situation with residencia in Spain have now got automno so hopefully I can reapply, my partner has his. Routing for you ❤️
It's simple, your not improving the land, the government views you as gypsies.
I'm so very sorry about your experience, so many immigrants are going through the same simply to seek asylum…THIS world has become unrecognizable to me.
So sorry, try Ei they can advise, Christine or Gilda, you need professional advice, you might not want to chance a third time decline.x
Good luck.
Hey guys, so sorry to hear about your predicament. Could you reach out to other Youtubers from Brittan living in Portugal for advice. I follow 3 or 4 of them…
cant you jump into a dinghy and sail round the coast and claim asylum ? it works for any old fukc that jumps off a boat in the uk and they get housed in a 5 star hotel
Dom , did you not apply for a residence ?? , when you bought the land ?? , there are two others that may live near you , they shop where you shop too so they must be near …. plus one couple have just bought a "new" place , & they are getting it in order , after the property , had a fire 🔥 but it only burnt down trees, & bushes , but there house is safe ..
But I am sure they have a residence , to stay in Portugal 🇵🇹 !!!
They are on YouTube too ….
But most of all jolly good luck … keep fighting !!!! ..
just say you are ukrainians 😛
Ridiculous! You'll find a way.
The current trend is you need double the amount of minimum wage in your Portuguese bank account. You could attempt to have only one of you apply for the D7 then do family reunification. Either way, you need a good immigration lawyer looking at your situation. I recommend Relocate to Portugal. Their team of lawyers is the best.
Would have been easier to get residence rights if 17.4 million didn't vote in favour of brexit.
Feel for you guys, but don't give up hope, they're only bureaucrats, they don't own God's earth…. Sit tight and blame Farage, he of the French name and German wife…. Prayers going out for you🙏
Good news. Now go back to the UK. You aren't Portuguese. Globalist scumbags.
Oh guys so sorry keep fighting you will get there
Interesting if you got all documents notarised in the UK? All power to you.
another way forward would be for the most financially secure of you to apply for a D7 visa and then the other two to follow up on the D6 route, following grant of D7 visa.
