As a first-time applicant, I honestly had no idea where to start. The document checklist for Portugal was the single most useful bit — I stopped worrying about missing papers. The officer at the embassy barely asked any questions, which I took as a good sign. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. Will be using it again for my next trip.
