Trying to do this alone from Ibarra was a lot harder than I expected. The document checklist for Portugal was the single most useful bit — I stopped worrying about missing papers. Single entry granted exactly as I requested. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. I actually felt confident walking into the consulate — that's a first. Best money I've spent on admin in ages. The only small thing — I'd love a dark mode.
