Portugal Services
Portugal immigration services: Golden Visa, D7, D8 and more.
Movingto's Portugal immigration services cover the Golden Visa fund route at a flat €6,000 service fee, the D7, D8, D2, D3, D4 and Startup visas, family reunion, residence renewals, NIF, document legalisation and Portuguese tax. Each service page below lists what is included, what it costs and the official thresholds for that route.
A Portuguese residence permit is the card AIMA issues to let a non-EU national live in Portugal; most routes start with a residency visa from a Portuguese consulate, which is valid for 4 months while you complete the AIMA step.
Movingto is a Portugal-first immigration firm that puts a named, Bar-registered lawyer from its in-house legal team on your case and publishes its fees.
