“Their expertise was invaluable in navigating us through the intricate processes of securing a D8 Visa (Digital Nomad) and applying for the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) status, all within an impressively tight timeline. The challenge of obtaining NHR status was particularly daunting, given the looming deadline of the tax benefit's expiration at the end of 2023.”
