What a great way to make a system that's bursting at the seams, even worse.
And how does providing a solution makes things worse?

I just had to go through renewing my residency in Spain. You need an appointment for every step. If you aren't able to check 50 times per day, you'll never succeed in finding an appointment. The process is completely broken. The only way to get an appointment is by paying a service to get one for you, which is between 50-100 euros. It is astounding that not only the process is so collapsed, but that the administration or foreigner police do nothing (they should just assign you an appointment after each step) to improve this. On top of that, they currently just legalized 500k-1million people who were not here legally, and I have no idea how they expect the majority (who are declared vulnerable) to be able to complete the immigration process.

Portugal is the same, they are so inefficient it almost seems intentional (or maybe it is). We wanted to serve these kind of clients, but could not do it properly because we could not even book appointments ourselves and had to rely on shady companies reselling slots, which I dont think they get in a fair way (or maybe not even legal), as there are many reports of insiders selling access... So we decided to turn to tech for help.

Because this is 20% of the process, the service is still a legal team doing your all your immigrations. Checking the best strategy, how to apply, review your documents manually, book calls with you and, if necessary, appeal if the consulate asks questions or initially rejects your case. The price is for the full visa assistance.

So, it's not automated and the title is a lie?
Just submarine marketing for "digital nomads" to come buy overpriced shit and crowd out the locals.

Your life would improve by reading short texts, then move on to children’s books, as most people did in childhood, to begin developing reading comprehension
