IMI Daily

IMI Daily is the investment migration industry's specialist trade publication, positioning itself as the sector's newspaper of record. Operating primarily online since at least 2017 (when its Twitter presence began), IMI covers residence-by-investment (Golden visa) programmes, citizenship-by-investment schemes, digital nomad visas, and cross-border mobility policy across more than 100 jurisdictions. Its contributor base includes lawyers, programme administrators, and policy analysts embedded in the investment migration industry. The platform also provides market data, programme intelligence tools, and a professional membership directory.

IMI Daily's editorial mix sits at the intersection of financial migration intelligence and immigration news. Its audience is primarily immigration lawyers, wealth advisers, fund managers, and high-net-worth individuals navigating residence options across jurisdictions — not the general public. This professional orientation means IMI's coverage of digital nomad policy developments tends toward legal and regulatory precision: it tracks income thresholds, application backlogs, and statutory changes faster than general-interest media.

The publication reported on Portugal's D8 visa pathway and AIMA processing delays, contributing to the Lowdown nomads-and-communities briefing on the stalling of the D8 pipeline after AIMA mediators struck in March 2026. IMI's coverage of Portugal's residency-to-citizenship window doubling — from five to ten years under the April 2026 parliamentary vote — provided professional context for the immigration-lawyer community.
