Generally, if you can register a trademark in a certain country yourself, you can also respond to trademark opposition. If you do not have a domicile address or an official business address in a given country, you are obliged to hire a legal representative who can represent you in the opposition proceedings.
Even though responding to opposition yourself might save you money, it is generally not recommended.
Hiring or consulting a legal professional will help you to respond to the opposition correctly, timely, and to meet all the requirements. After all, you don't want to lose your trademark application.
