The Good Stuff
File preparation
Customers mention help with documentation, covering letters and bank opening for a Portugal residency application.
Visa approvals
Reviews include successful Portugal, UK, Canada, Hungary and digital nomad visa outcomes, including a customer who had landed at Heathrow.
Regular updates
One customer reported daily communication and progress updates, including help with WES documents and IELTS steps.
Transparent advice
Some customers valued being told early when their case could not be processed and receiving alternative options without promises.
Reasonable pricing
A customer described the prices as reasonable and the service as professional, while another called the pricing fair and transparent.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check timelines. Ask which delays are outside the consultancy’s control and get a realistic timeline in writing; one Portugal case took over 15 months.
Read contracts. Before paying, check cancellation and refund clauses carefully, especially where the agreement is described as a no-refund contract.
Verify eligibility. Confirm the exact visa programme you qualify for before signing; one reviewer said incorrect programme advice led to a refusal.
Confirm appointments. Reconfirm the consultation time on the day, particularly if travelling with children or from another emirate.
Ask about VFS. Clarify who books embassy or VFS appointments and what the consultancy can actually expedite; one customer arranged VFS appointments independently.

The Bottom Line
Reliance Immigration Services is a Bur Dubai consultancy focused on immigration and residency applications. Customers have used it for Portugal D7 and digital nomad visas, UK visas, Canada programmes, Hungary student-visa appeals and Spain residency discussions. The strongest reviews describe clear explanations, document preparation, regular updates and successful outcomes, including a UK applicant who reached Heathrow and a Portugal applicant who received an entry visa.
The experience is not consistent. Several customers praise transparent eligibility advice and careful paperwork, but others report serious delays, poor file management and problems with communication. One Portugal case took over 15 months after submission, and another reviewer said five months passed without a fingerprint appointment.
A family also waited almost 30 minutes outside after arriving for a scheduled consultation. Money and contract terms deserve close attention. Reviews mention a 9,800 AED Canada work-visa payment followed by little progress and no refund, as well as terms that some customers say were not explained during marketing calls.
Before committing, confirm the exact programme, what appointments the team handles, realistic timelines, cancellation terms and whether any refund is available. Treat promised processing times as estimates, not guarantees.
