Provider comparison
Movingto vs Get Golden Visa (2026)
Both firms help people move and invest abroad, but they are built for different jobs. Movingto is a Portugal-first immigration firm that puts a named, Bar-registered lawyer on your case and publishes its fees. Get Golden Visa is a multi-country residency-by-investment consultancy spanning golden visas and citizenship programmes.

The bottom line
Choose Movingto if
Portugal is your target and you want a named lawyer on the file.
You're focused on Portugal (especially the Golden Visa fund route), you want the legal work owned by a named, Bar-registered Portuguese immigration lawyer, fees published up front, and one team carrying the case from documents to residency and renewals.
Choose Get Golden Visa if
You haven't picked a country and want a broad menu compared.
You want a multi-country consultancy to compare a wide menu of programmes side by side - European golden visas, Caribbean citizenship-by-investment, Turkey, the UAE and more - and you want real-estate and relocation coordination across jurisdictions. Get Golden Visa describes itself as an independent residency-by-investment consultancy operating across many countries.
Side by side
How the two firms compare
| Factor | Movingto | Get Golden Visa |
|---|---|---|
| Focus | Portugal-first, with support for Italy, Greece, Spain, the UAE, Cyprus and Hungary. | Global. Get Golden Visa states it operates across 16+ countries - European golden visas, Caribbean citizenship-by-investment, Turkey, the UAE and the USA. |
| Who does the legal work | In-house Portuguese immigration lawyers, named and registered with the Ordem dos Advogados: Ines Cabral Almeida (61676P), David Simoes Fitas (67185P) and Paulo Moura (71517P). | An advisory consultancy that supports a network of independent legal professionals and other providers; it states that it does not itself provide legal, tax or investment advice. |
| Service fees | Fixed and published up front by service and country - e.g. the Portugal Golden Visa fund-route service is €6,000 (see the pricing page), before you commit. | Not published. Get Golden Visa works on a consultation basis and does not state a service fee on its site. |
| Program breadth | Deep on a handful of European routes rather than wide. No Caribbean citizenship-by-investment. | Very wide. European golden visas plus Caribbean citizenship (St Kitts, Antigua, Dominica, Grenada) and Turkey, the UAE and the USA. |
| Real estate and funds | Handles the Portugal immigration legal work; fund comparison is via Movingto Funds, with tax and investment advice kept as separate, separately-qualified scopes. | Runs real-estate and fund advisory arms and holds a Portuguese real-estate agent licence (AMI 14437) - useful if a property route is central to your plan. |
| Offices | Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona and Sydney. | London (HQ), Lisbon, Athens and Istanbul; Get Golden Visa states offices in 11 cities. |

By program
Movingto vs Get Golden Visa, program by program
Portugal Golden Visa
For the Portugal Golden Visa
Both firms handle the Portugal Golden Visa, including the investment-fund route. The difference is who owns the legal work and how you pay for it. With Movingto, a named, Bar-registered Portuguese lawyer owns the filing and the service fee is fixed and published up front. Get Golden Visa runs fund and real-estate advisory arms and coordinates a network of independent legal professionals, on a quote basis. If Portugal is the decision and you want the legal work owned in-house at a known price, Movingto is the tighter fit; if you're still comparing Portugal against programmes in other countries, Get Golden Visa's breadth helps.
D7 & D8 visas
For the D7 and D8 visas
These are Portugal's passive-income (D7) and digital-nomad (D8) routes - residence permits, not investment programmes. Movingto handles them directly with the same in-house legal team. Get Golden Visa is built around residency- and citizenship-by-investment, so non-investment routes like the D7 and D8 sit outside its focus. For these, Movingto is the natural choice.
Greece, Italy & more
For other European golden visas
Both cover live European investment routes, Greece and Italy in particular. Get Golden Visa's menu is wider, spanning Malta, Latvia and others, which helps if you're comparing several countries at once. Movingto supports Greece and Italy alongside Portugal, and covers Spain for other residence routes, but goes deeper on Portugal than on any single alternative.
Caribbean citizenship & Turkey
For citizenship by investment
This is Get Golden Visa's territory. If you want a second citizenship by investment - a Caribbean passport such as St Kitts, Antigua or Grenada, or Turkey - Get Golden Visa advises on these programmes. Movingto is Europe-focused on residence, not citizenship-by-investment, and does not run these programmes. For that goal, Get Golden Visa is the better route.
An honest split
Where each firm wins
Where Get Golden Visa is strong
Breadth of programmes. Get Golden Visa states it operates across 16+ countries, covering European golden visas, Caribbean citizenship-by-investment, Turkey, the UAE and the USA - a broad menu if you haven't yet decided on a country.
Real-estate and fund coordination. It runs real-estate and fund advisory arms and holds a Portuguese real-estate agent licence (AMI 14437), which is useful if buying property is central to your route.
An established multi-office consultancy. Get Golden Visa has operated since 2014, with a team and offices in London, Lisbon, Athens and Istanbul.
Where Movingto is different
The legal work is owned by a named lawyer you can look up, not a network of third-party providers: Ines Cabral Almeida, David Simoes Fitas and Paulo Moura are registered with the Portuguese Bar. Fees are fixed and published before you engage. And the same team carries the Portugal case from documents through renewals and the citizenship stage, with tax and regulated investment advice kept as separate, separately-qualified scopes.

Questions worth asking either firm
- Who will actually do the legal filing - a named, locally licensed lawyer, or an adviser coordinating third parties?
- Are the service fees fixed and given to you in writing before you commit?
- Is tax and investment advice included, or is it a separate, separately-qualified scope?
- For your specific country, does the firm file the case itself or coordinate a local partner?
Neither firm can guarantee an application's outcome; the immigration authority decides. Movingto does not provide tax or regulated investment advice inside its immigration engagement; those sit with separately qualified professionals.
