Background
MovingTo (MovingTo.com) is a Portugal-focused relocation and immigration services platform that provides attorney-led visa application support for remote workers, retirees, and entrepreneurs seeking Portuguese residency. The platform covers the principal Portuguese visa routes — the D8 digital nomad visa, the D7 passive income visa, the Golden Visa investment pathway, and the D2 entrepreneur visa — with a software-led workflow that guides applicants through document preparation, AIMA appointment scheduling, and NIF (tax number) registration.
MovingTo positions itself as a tech-enabled immigration service, differentiating from traditional law firms by offering transparent pricing and a structured case management portal. It serves an English-language international audience, with particular traction among US, UK, Canadian, and Australian nationals considering Portuguese residency. The platform's commentary on AIMA backlogs and D8 pipeline delays — including the March 2026 mediator strike that froze appointment scheduling — has made it a reference point for nomad community forums and immigration news coverage.
The April 2026 parliamentary vote to double Portugal's residency-to-citizenship window from five to ten years is directly relevant to MovingTo's customer base: applicants committing to the D8 pathway now face a significantly longer settlement horizon. MovingTo's ability to advise clients on that policy shift — and on AIMA's operational state — determines whether its conversion rate holds as Portugal's immigration regime tightens.
