Who publishes this guide?

Residency Atlas is an educational website operated by David Cockrum through Cockrum.com, published at PortugalResidencyGuide.com. David is the responsible publisher and initial website-enquiry contact.

Use the contact page to reach David directly or submit the website form. David receives your direct call or message. The privacy notice explains how direct enquiries and website-form records differ.

How are the guides prepared?

The guides are compiled from public sources, with links beside the main factual claims. Government, immigration-authority and tax-authority sources take priority. The displayed review date records when the cited sources were checked for the page; it is not a promise that the page covers every exception or a statement of legal review.

The site uses AI-assisted drafting and source research. It provides general explanations and questions to help readers prepare for conversations with qualified professionals. It does not claim to be a licensed immigration, legal, tax or investment-advisory practice.

For a correction, send the relevant page and official source to david@cockrum.io. Rules and administrative procedures change, so readers should check the linked source and obtain advice on their own circumstances before acting.

What does the service cover?

You can read the guides and ask general questions about residence and cross-border planning. We can help organise questions and, where requested and available, discuss an introduction. We do not determine eligibility, assess investment suitability, recommend investments, negotiate terms, process residence applications or subscriptions, or receive investment funds.

The comparison focuses on selected residence categories; it does not rank countries or claim to cover every immigration route. The Portugal guide introduces broader starting points, while the planning guide separates tax, work and ownership questions.

How would an introduction work?

An educational enquiry comes first. If you later request an introduction, we identify the proposed external provider, its role, what information would be shared and any referral compensation. We ask separately before sharing your details or arranging the contact. Choosing Portugal in the form does not authorize a handoff.

People involved in potential introductions have commercial relationships with providers, including commission arrangements and directorships within a provider’s corporate group. These relationships can create conflicts of interest. Before any introduction, we identify the proposed provider and relevant connected parties, explain their roles and financial interests—including who pays any referral fee and how it is calculated—and ask separately for your permission. A product provider may represent its own commercial interests and should not be assumed to be an independent adviser.

The provider handles its own advice, checks, discussions and documents. You remain free to choose your own professionals and to stop after the educational conversation. No application or investment commitment is made by contacting us.
