"I am a Nigerian who lived in Lagos when I first had the free consultancy call with Ariane Real. I had a lot of concerns – from previous Schengen visa refusals to being a first-time traveler. How do I get the NIF? Set up a bank account? The other D8 visa requirements? Ariane was very reassuring and worked with us to get the right documents, compiling them to ensure we were all set. Not surprisingly, we got the Portugal D8 visa in about 60 working days. As of the time I'm writing this, I am in Portugal with my wife. Ariane is a star attorney, very responsive, and I can't recommend her enough. We (my wife and I) are proof of her excellent work!"
"Movingto is seriously awesome! I was planning to expand my business to Portugal from the US and wasn't sure where to start, especially with my wife and kids tagging along. They provided me with all the info about the D2 visa, helping with paperwork, and answering all my questions. The team was super supportive and always available. They made what seemed like a mountain into a molehill. Today, I'm writing this from my new office in Lisbon, all thanks to them!"
"We appointed Movingto in June 2024 to assist in family re-unification visa for my wife to join me in Portugal from the UK. Throughout the process we have found Ana and her team to be professional, helpful, competitive, informative, and knowledgeable with an excellent command of English. Particular thanks to Anna who was assigned our case and has been our immigration specialist attending our appointment to ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible. We would highly recommend Movingto and would not hesitate using their services again."
"Movingto demonstrated exceptional dedication in assisting my family and me with our relocation to Portugal. Their expertise was invaluable in navigating us through the intricate processes of securing a D8 Visa and applying for the NHR status, all within an impressively tight timeline. Despite the challenge of obtaining NHR status given the looming deadline, the Movingto team exerted every effort to ensure our success."
"Movingto helped me getting a digital nomad visa for Portugal. My job is in UK and I can work remotely from anywhere. They also introduced me to the benefits of the NHR and I've been saving a lot of money while traveling. I couldn't recommend them more."
"I used this service to get a NIF number for my father. They managed to get it in less than 7 days, gave me a login to manage the number as well. I haven't got around to using it for their other services yet, but it worked well."
"I have just completed my D7 residence application for Portugal, and I am very happy. Movingto has been an excellent organization to work with, and I have found their services to be exceptional. They provide prompt communication, great expertise, and close attention to detail. Thank you to the entire team; I will continue to recommend your services."
"Professional and straightforward communication by Guilherme made it very easy to exchange and quickly achieving excellent results. Thanks!"
