MovingTo was founded in 2021 by Dean and Ana Fankhauser, with its legal entity listed as Moving To Global Pte. Ltd. It is not simply a law firm, but a European residency coordination platform: it handles administrative coordination, customer support, document workflows, and communication, while legal, tax, and investment advice is provided by independent licensed lawyers, tax advisers, and other professionals engaged by the client. Its core positioning is very clear: the Portugal Golden Visa, especially the fund investment route for U.S. applicants.
The main content shows that MovingTo offers a fairly complete service chain, covering NIF tax numbers, Portuguese bank account opening, health insurance, healthcare system registration, private schools for children, renewals, and coordination through the citizenship stage. In addition to the Portugal Golden Visa, it also supports the D7 passive income visa, D8 digital nomad visa, and D2 entrepreneur visa, and says it can serve Greece, Italy, Spain, and the UAE through its network. Its public offices are in Lisbon, Porto, Barcelona, and Sydney, and around 90% of its clients come from the United States.
Pricing is the main information gap. The site mentions “clear costs before you commit” and a free eligibility assessment, but does not disclose package prices, lawyer fees, government fees, or any success-fee structure, making value-for-money comparisons difficult. It also does not provide a standard processing timeline for the Golden Visa; a customer review mentions one D8 visa being approved in about 60 business days, but that cannot be treated as a general processing benchmark.
Its strength lies in its high degree of specialization: it has built workflows around issues U.S. clients care about, such as IRA/401k, PFIC, FBAR/FATCA, proof of source of funds, and related documentation. It also offers funds.movingto.com for comparing eligible funds by strategy, fees, liquidity, and U.S. investor documentation requirements. The company also discloses some lawyers’ names, qualifications, and bar association numbers, making the responsibility chain relatively clear. The limitation is that the platform itself emphasizes its coordination role, while legal and tax opinions are handled by external independent professionals. Before signing, clients should confirm the scope of service, fees, and allocation of responsibility. Its claimed 2,500+ past successful applications and zero refusals are historical performance only and do not constitute an approval guarantee.
MovingTo is better suited to U.S. investors and family applicants planning to obtain European residency through the Portugal Golden Visa fund route, as well as those who need English-language communication, document checklists, and long-term renewal/citizenship coordination. If the need is simply company registration, a virtual address, or ordinary bookkeeping and compliance, the main content does not indicate that it is the right provider. There is no information in the text about access from mainland China, so network and payment availability are unknown. Alternatives may include Henley & Partners, La Vida Golden Visas, Global Citizen Solutions, or local Portuguese immigration law firms.
