The right fit
Who Movingto serves best.
Unlike engaging a traditional law firm for the filing alone, Movingto runs the legal work and the wider process—banking, evidence, deadlines and post-approval steps—as one plan, with a licensed lawyer and a dedicated Case Lead named on your case.
Movingto is a strong fit for
- Investors and families pursuing the Portugal Golden Visa fund route who want legal strategy, filings and representation handled by Movingto's in-house lawyers.
- US clients with cross-border complexity—retirement accounts, equity compensation or business-sale proceeds—who need immigration and tax scopes working together.
- Families comparing Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece who want one accountable team from route selection through residency and citizenship planning.
Movingto is not the right fit for
- Anyone seeking a guaranteed visa or residency outcome. Approval decisions rest with the national authorities, and no firm can promise them.
- Document-only filing at the lowest possible price, without advice or a managed process.
- Anonymous processing. Movingto works through named professionals with visible credentials.
Client perspectives
“I talked to an amazing immigration lawyer and an amazing tax specialist.”
“I constantly had a lot of questions about my situation—what to do, what taxes would be like if I moved, what my immediate next steps are, etc. I had only two calls with Movingto… Thanks so much for your help!!”

“In a country where procedures and documentation requirements can be unclear, Ariane was absolutely wonderful. She guided us through every step and promptly answered all our questions. The team even secured us an AIMA appointment when no slots were available for the year.”
