Before you apply
Your questions, answered.
What does Movingto handle for a Portugal Golden Visa application?
Movingto's in-house Portuguese immigration lawyers handle legal advice, strategy, application preparation, filing, representation and AIMA responses within the agreed scope. A dedicated Case Lead coordinates documents, capital evidence, banking, subscription paperwork and communication. Your written engagement defines the work included at each stage.
How much does the service cost?
Movingto's service fee starts from €6,000. Ask for a written quote confirming legal work, family scope, VAT treatment, payment stages and exclusions. The qualifying fund investment starts at €500,000 and is separate from service fees. Government fees, fund charges, banking, translations and specialist advice are additional cost categories. Current AIMA charges apply per applicant, including at renewal.
Is the fund route the only qualifying Golden Visa route?
No. AIMA lists several qualifying investment categories. This service focuses on qualifying non-real-estate investment funds. Movingto's legal team assesses whether that route fits your case and checks any existing or transitional application before advising on the next step.
What happens after I request a free call?
Movingto reviews your enquiry and contacts you to discuss your family, current application stage, capital path and timing. The next step is to establish route fit, information gaps and the professional scope required. You review a written engagement and quote before instructing the team to begin the agreed work.
Can you help with an existing application or a renewal?
Tell us the stage reached, who holds your file and any authority request or deadline. Movingto will review whether it can assist and agree the scope before taking over work. Submitting an enquiry does not confirm acceptance of a case or extend an official deadline.
Who handles investment and tax advice?
Movingto's in-house lawyers handle the immigration legal work. Fund recommendations, investment suitability and performance expectations belong to the qualified investment adviser responsible for that scope. Tax advice belongs to your engaged tax professional. Your Case Lead coordinates information and questions between the relevant professionals.
How long does approval take, and is citizenship guaranteed?
There is no guaranteed application or appointment date. Timing depends on document readiness, the case and AIMA processing. Citizenship is a separate application governed by current nationality law, residence calculations and other requirements. Your Portuguese lawyer should confirm the rules and transitional provisions that apply to you before you rely on a timeline.
