Faro
Private Detectives Portugal operates in Faro with a physical office on Av. 5 de Outubro , integrated into the Algarve coordinating center . Its proximity to Faro Airport and the region's main thoroughfares makes this base the natural starting point for investigations requiring rapid mobilization anywhere in the western or eastern Algarve.
The technical responsibility for each project in Faro is ensured by Detective Alexandre Ribeiro ( Member No. 33 of LIDEPPE ). His direct supervision, enhanced by integration into international networks such as WAD (No. 1687) , IKD and APDPE (No. 1326) , guarantees that each operation complies with the strictest standards of ethics and confidentiality .
Coverage Area and Geographic Domain
Faro's central location ensures rapid operational control over the region's road networks, including direct access to the airport — a critical point for locating people in transit.
This proximity allows our agents to work in direct coordination with teams stationed in Loulé and Vilamoura , São Brás de Alportel , Olhão and Tavira , maximizing the success and confidentiality of each investigation.
Faro : the administrative capital of the Algarve

This dual reality translates into a more balanced demand throughout the year: family and business cases from residents , alongside support for ongoing legal proceedings in local courts. Proximity to the airport further reinforces Faro's role as a logistical hub for the entire region.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Do you have a physical office in Faro?
Yes, on Avenida 5 de Outubro. As a rule, we request 24 hours' notice to organize the procedures, although, depending on the availability of the teams, some cases proceed more quickly.
2. How much does an investigation cost from Faro?
We don't publish a price list — each case is different. After a free and confidential initial assessment, we provide a fixed price quote that includes travel, mileage, and equipment. The agreed-upon price is the final price.
3. Do I need to travel to the office in Faro?
It is not mandatory. The case can be opened by phone, video call or email. If an in-person meeting is necessary, it can take place at the office on Av. 5 de Outubro or at another location in the region that is more convenient for the client.
4. Do they conduct investigations for residents of Faro, or only for tourists in the region?
Most of our cases in the Algarve are related to tourism, but in Faro we also work with the resident population — cases of marital infidelity, child custody, and family disputes between people who live in the city year-round.
5. Do you work with lawyers and courts in Faro?
Yes. As the judicial seat of the district, we regularly support law firms with evidence gathering for family, labor, and civil cases taking place in the local courts.
6. Are they investigating cases linked to students from the University of Algarve?
Yes. It's a request that comes up quite frequently — families who need to confirm the well-being or behavior of a child studying away from home, always discreetly and without direct confrontation.
7. Since your base is in the Algarve, are you able to respond faster from Faro?
Yes. Faro is our coordination point for the entire region, which reduces the mobilization time for cases that arise in the city itself, compared to travel from other municipalities.
8. Do they conduct surveillance related to flights and passengers at Faro Airport?
Yes. We monitor arrivals and departures when it's necessary to confirm someone's presence, companion, or destination—a common request in cases of infidelity or to locate people traveling through the region.
