Why relocate
Why get Portuguese residency?
One residence permit opens up living, working, banking and travel across the EU.
Travel across the Schengen area
A Portuguese residence permit lets you move visa-free across the Schengen countries while you are resident.
Live and work in Portugal
The right to settle, and once your residence card is issued, to work, freelance or run a business.
Bring your family
Your spouse and dependent children can be included, and your spouse gets full work rights on the card.
EU banking and healthcare
Access to a Portuguese bank account, the public health system, and schooling for your children.
A path to permanent residency
Permanent residency is available at year 5. Citizenship follows later under the current 10-year rule (7 for EU and CPLP nationals).
The call
What you get from the free call
Fifteen minutes, and you leave with a clear plan, not general answers.
1
The visa that actually fits
We look at your income, savings and plans, and name the right route: D2, D7, D8 or Golden Visa.
2
Your sequence and honest timeline
NIF first, then bank, then visa and appointment. Usually 6 to 8 months from start to landing, laid out for your case.
3
What it will cost, clearly
Transparent pricing for your situation, package plus dependents plus the NIF and bank, so nothing is a surprise later.
4
The appointment reality
The honest bit most sites skip: we cannot book your consulate or AIMA appointment, and slots are the real bottleneck. We help you plan around it.
★
A written plan you keep, sent the same day
After the call we email you a written summary built around your situation: the visa that fits and why, your sequence and timeline, your pricing with the actual math, and the exact links for your next step. You can act on it straight away, or share it with your partner before you decide.
Visa types
Which visa is right for you?
We cover the four routes our packages support, and match you on the call.
D7 · PASSIVE INCOME
For pensions, dividends, rental or investment income. The simpler route, with less documentation, and usually the first choice if you qualify.
Around €920/month passive income
Learn about the D7 →D8 · DIGITAL NOMAD
For remote employees and freelancers earning from outside Portugal. Needs proof of remote work and a steady monthly income.
Around €3,680/month, 1-year contract
Learn about the D8 →D2 · ENTREPRENEUR
For running a business or freelancing with Portuguese clients. No monthly income bar. Often the route when D7 and D8 do not fit but you have a real idea or skill.
No monthly bar · a viable business plan
Learn about the D2 →GOLDEN VISA · ARI
A low-presence, investment-based route filed directly in Portugal, covering the whole family on one investment. Real estate is no longer a route.
Fund from €500,000 or donation from €250,000
Learn about the Golden Visa →If you plan to move to Portugal, most people start with the NIF and bank, then the visa. Every route needs about €11,040 in a Portuguese account, and residency leads to permanent residency at year 5.
If you want a low-presence, investment route, the Golden Visa needs roughly 7 to 14 days a year in Portugal. Capital is at risk and the funds are introduced through licensed partners who advise.

From the founder
“Honest guidance, a clear plan, and licensed Portuguese partners doing the regulated work.”
I built Novomove as a technology platform that coordinates your move. Your free call is with someone on my team who maps your route and sets honest expectations. When a case needs a lawyer, we bring in our licensed partners, and we tell you rather than guess.
I won't promise you a government outcome, and I'll be straight about the parts we can't control, like appointment slots. What I can promise is a clear plan you can act on.
Philip Bitnik / Founder, Novomove
Who you'll talk to
Hi, I'm Cesar, and I run most of the free calls here. Whatever you're planning, chances are I've walked someone through a version of it already.
In 15 minutes I'll tell you which visa actually fits you, give you the honest timeline and cost, and send you a plan you can act on. If your case needs a lawyer, I'll say so and bring in one of our licensed Portuguese partners. You'll also find my name across our reviews, and I co-host our webinars.
Ask me the awkward questions. That's what the call's for.
Cesar Lira / Head of Customer Success, Novomove

What people say
Collected directly from our clients after their service is complete. Some of these people started exactly where you are, on a free call.
★★★★★
“Booked a D7 session with Mariana and it was the opposite of stiff. Felt like a conversation, but I came away with pages of notes. She worked through every question I brought and didn't hand-wave the awkward ones. A couple of edge cases she couldn't answer on the spot, so she's checking and coming back to me. That's more than I got from two other firms.”
Martin R · Verified client · D7 visa consultation
★★★★★
“Talking to Cesar beat another three hours of digging through forums. He laid out the difference between the D7 and D8 routes and which one fitted my income. I know what I'm doing now, which I didn't a week ago.”
Bethany L · Verified client · D7 / D8 visa consultation
★★★★★
“We booked a legal consultation with Mariana before our AIMA appointment and she cleared up questions we'd been chasing on forums for weeks. She also told us things we had no idea we needed to know. César and Tijana have been just as good on the admin side since.”
Freddie Marchant · Verified client · Legal consultation before AIMA
★★★★★
“Isabell had clearly read my questions before the call started. She knew my circumstances and answered for my situation rather than giving me the generic version.”
C Restrepo · Verified client · Tax consultation
★★★★★
“For a NIF, a visa, or anything else on their list, Philip and his team are the ones to call. They're approachable, they pay attention to what you actually need, and they turn genuinely awkward bureaucratic processes into something manageable. My wife and I got to Portugal with far less pain than we'd braced for.”
Peter Crowhurst · Verified client · NIF & visa
★★★★★
“Immigrating to another country is intimidating and having people who know the system behind you changes everything. They're professional, they're helpful, and they went beyond what I was expecting. I'd recommend them to anyone moving to Portugal without hesitation.”
Marsida Hoxha · Verified client
