Why MovingTo

Licensed Lawyers, Not Consultants

The immigration services market is crowded with unlicensed consultants, relocation agencies, and "visa advisors" who cannot legally represent you. We are a law firm. Every engagement is managed by a licensed lawyer with direct accountability.

Bar-Registered Lawyers

Every lawyer in our network is registered with the national bar association in the country where they practise -- Portugal, Spain, Italy, or Greece. They are subject to professional conduct rules, continuing education requirements, and disciplinary oversight. Your immigration case is a legal engagement, not a consulting project.

2,500+ Applications

Across Golden Visa, D7, D2, D8, D6, and other permit types, our team has processed over 2,500 successful applications with a 98% approval rate. This is not a side business -- immigration law is the core of what we do, and the volume gives us pattern recognition that smaller firms cannot match.

Integrated Services

Visa, NIF, bank account, company formation, tax coordination, document authentication, and renewal -- managed as one engagement rather than fragmented across multiple providers. Each step feeds into the next. No gaps, no misaligned documentation, no starting over because the previous advisor didn't understand the immigration requirements.
