IMERIA, LDA

IMERIA, LDA is a Portuguese residency and immigration consultancy company. It operates the Turkish-language advisory platform Avrupa Oturumu, which guides Turkish-speaking families and investors through legal pathways to residence in Europe. The company was founded in 2016 by Vedat Saygın, who moved to Portugal with his family that year and experienced the Portuguese Golden Visa process first-hand. The firm positions itself as an independent, transparent adviser that does not sell a single country but instead compares programmes across eight European countries — Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Malta, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland and France — and recommends the route best suited to each client's situation. Avrupa Oturumu's service catalogue covers investment-based residence (notably the Portugal Golden Visa, with a €500,000 fund route), work-based residence (EU Blue Card and skilled-worker permits), digital-nomad and remote-work visas (Portugal D8, Spain, Greece, Italy), passive-income residence (Portugal D7 and similar income-based permits), entrepreneur and startup founder routes, student residence, and family reunification. The platform presents itself as a neutral session — 'Tarafsız Oturum' — that listens to a client's circumstances and compares all programmes rather than pushing one product. According to its own about page, the company has handled more than 120 successful applications, maintains local legal partnerships in eight countries, and operates three offices in Lisbon, Bratislava and Istanbul. It reports a 94% pre-qualification rate and more than eight years of experience. The team includes founder and general manager Vedat Saygın, legal adviser Ana Ferreira (a member of the Ordem dos Advogados), and investment director Ricardo Mendes, a CMVM-licensed portfolio manager. The firm states that it does not take commissions, works with local legal teams, and follows transparent pricing with no hidden costs. IMERIA, LDA is a private company. Its public-facing brand is Avrupa Oturumu, and its primary market is Turkish-speaking clients considering relocation to Europe. The company's stated mission is to prevent other families from facing the confusion and misleading promises its founder encountered when he relocated.

IMERIA, LDA was founded in 2016 by Vedat Saygın, who relocated from Turkey to Portugal with his family that year. According to the company's about page, at that time there was almost no reliable Turkish-language information source for people in Turkey who wanted to move to Europe. Finding a lawyer, understanding document processes, and choosing the right programme were each a separate challenge, with information scattered across different sources and often filled with misleading promises. This personal experience laid the foundation for Avrupa Oturumu, the company's Turkish-language advisory platform. The stated goal was to prevent other families from facing the same difficulties. The firm built its model around independent, transparent advice. It does not sell a single country; instead it compares programmes across eight European countries and recommends the route that fits the client's situation. Its service lines span investment-based residence (including the Portugal Golden Visa, with a €500,000 fund route), work-based residence (EU Blue Card and skilled-worker permits), digital-nomad and remote-work visas (Portugal D8, Spain, Greece, Italy), passive-income residence (Portugal D7 and similar income-based permits), entrepreneur and startup founder routes, student residence, and family reunification. By the time of its about page, the company reported more than 120 successful applications, local legal partnerships in eight countries, and three offices in Lisbon, Bratislava and Istanbul. It also reported a 94% pre-qualification rate and more than eight years of experience. The team includes founder and general manager Vedat Saygın, who has lived in Europe for 12 years and has experience advising on residence permits in more than eight countries; legal adviser Ana Ferreira, a member of the Ordem dos Advogados specialising in European immigration law, residence permit applications and family reunification; and investment director Ricardo Mendes, a CMVM-licensed portfolio manager with 15 years of fund management experience, specialising in European investment programmes and fund structuring. The company states that it does not take commissions, works with local legal teams, and follows transparent pricing with no hidden costs. Its public-facing brand is Avrupa Oturumu, and its primary market is Turkish-speaking clients considering relocation to Europe.
