I used CitizenRemote hoping that an agency and attorney would simplify and speed up my Albania Visa and Unique Permit application process. Unfortunately, I’m disappointed with my experience. The process started in April, when I submitted all my documents to the attorney and paid full, but the application was not submitted to immigration until July 8. The application number was RPA-79-000116601ID. It was eventually rejected in August, and I discovered the rejection myself by checking the immigration website. I was not proactively informed. The stated reason was that I did not sufficiently justify the purpose of my visit and did not demonstrate that I would leave Albania within the visa’s validity period. This is strange to me because I had clearly communicated that my intention was to apply for the Unique Permit and residency, meaning I intended to stay in Albania long term. I understand that CitizenRemote cannot guarantee a visa approval. My disappointment is mainly with the lengthy process, communication, and handling of my application.

I wrote a 5-star review for Citizen Remote one year ago right after we had our initial 30-minute conversation. The lawyer was brilliant. And we moved on to Citizen Remote to secure our digital nomad visa. However, due to many technical glitches on their platform, such as emails and documents lost, our lawyer was not kept current on our status and our needs. One of the owners acknowledged technical glitches with the platform. We had to completely redo our application due to the Citizen Remote platform. We decided to stop working with them and hired a lawyer and paid more. It is unfortunate that Citizen Remote does not prioritize investing in their tech infrastructure to make their platform stable. Especially since it has confidential information of ours, such as banking information. I would seek out a different company.

There seem to be a lot of different services to choose from, and I particularly liked their portal and the ease of using it for secure communications (as well as secure transfer of documents). Also the add-on services of translation and apostille just helped when I didn’t have the time to worry about it myself. My life is pretty hectic and I am over extended, but right now, but having the team at CR guide me through was very helpful. Immigration Attorney Marina was fantastic and she has put so much time and effort into my case. I had troubles with my prior attorney, but CR was prompt in assigning a new immigration attorney who went above and beyond from my special case. Everyone's situation is different, but all in all I invested about $5000 in the US for what I needed to get, the translations and apostilles and of course their fees.

We called Citizen Remote after having a less than great experience with another referred firm. Tim has great communication and instilled confidence in us. Keeping this a 5-star rating because of that — we had a few hiccups but Tim was reachable and fixed the issues quickly. Marina, our Spanish lawyer, has been *awesome and our digital nomad visa is nearly complete. Would definitely recommend this firm.

Very good its awesome

I met with Tim for a 15-minute consultation, and he was very punctual, helpful, and knowledgeable. It was easy to schedule and find availability, and he gave me clear direction on next steps and how Citizen Remote can help with my unique circuamstances. Great experience so far, and I look forward to working with them in the future.

Citizen Remote started me off on my journey to move to Lisbon from London around 2 years ago. They were very helpful in pointing me in the right direction and in understanding which visa would be best for me to move on. I have now started talking with them again about potentially moving to Germany from Lisbon, and once again they have provided some super useful initial advice and options for me to think about. I can recommend!

I used Citizen Remote for a Greek Digital Nomad visa and had a very good experience. The attorney in Greece was responsive and helpful each step of the way.
