## Product workflow

Applicants answer a structured questionnaire once. NomadPacket generates a motivation letter, an employer confirmation letter for employees or an income narrative for freelancers and business owners, an income summary sheet, and a pre-filled Portuguese national visa application form. The applicant remains responsible for reviewing every document and obtaining supporting evidence.

## Important limitations

- Generated documents are drafts for applicant review, not legal determinations.
- Applicants must verify current requirements with the Portuguese consulate or visa-processing center handling their application.
- The income summary is a cover sheet based on reported answers; it does not replace bank statements, contracts, invoices, insurance, criminal-record certificates, or other original evidence.
- Some national visa form fields remain blank deliberately, including signatures and ambiguous personal classifications.
