Why AIM Global
We're a law firm, not an agency.
We are lawyers specializing in international mobility in Latin America, with our own teams in Santiago and Lisbon. The firm that takes your call is the firm that runs your case to the end.

Our own legal team
Our own team does the immigration work. We don't pass your case file on to a third party or sell you a contact. Your case file is built and filed by a lawyer on our team, not by an outside agent.

Santiago and Lisbon, one firm
The case file is built here and filed there. We operate from Santiago, Chile, and from Lisbon, and we handle cases in Portugal, Spain, Italy, Croatia, São Tomé and Príncipe, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

A fixed quote, before you sign
You get the full cost broken down into our fees, government fees and the investment, plus the estimated timeframe. Our fees don't depend on how much you invest, and they don't change during the process.

No paperwork for you
We obtain the certificates, apostilles and translations. You only hand over the documents that nobody but you can get. A single point of contact throughout the process.
Cases
What our clients say.
Alejandra Ramos
Spanish citizenship · Buenos Aires
The economy in my country (Argentina) forced me to make the decision to get one of the many visas to Europe. After a very friendly meeting with the AIM Global team, I decided to go through the Ley de Nietos, since my grandfather emigrated from Spain in the mid-20th century. My grandfather was born in a very small town in Spain, and getting the certificates on my own was impossible.
Miguel Villagrán
Spanish citizenship by descent
We had been thinking about emigrating for many years, and we knew our surname linked us to people in Spain. Thanks to AIM Global, we were able to get the certificates that prove our descent and, with them, Spanish citizenship. They looked after us very well from start to finish, and we felt supported throughout this process of finding our ancestors.
Pedro Soria
Portugal Golden Visa
For years I had been thinking about making an investment abroad, but I never had enough information to see more benefits in it. Thanks to AIM Global, I now have a property in Portugal, and also the benefits of residency in that country. It was very reassuring to know that my investment was in the hands of people who not only know the place but are there to help.
Roberto Busel
Portuguese residency
AIM Global gave us timely, precise, efficient and friendly advice, providing a range of services and legal advice in handling the Portuguese residency process and obtaining the visas. The team was with us every step of the way, knowing when and how to address each specific point.

Analysis
What we're watching.
Frequently asked questions
What our clients ask us.
Are you lawyers or intermediaries?
We're a law firm with our own team, with lawyers in Santiago and Lisbon. Your case file is built and filed by a lawyer on our team, not by an outside agent.
Do I need to invest to get European residency?
No. Of the three routes, only one requires investment. Citizenship by descent doesn't require capital, and income-based visas require a verifiable monthly income, not accumulated wealth.
How much does the service cost?
Our fees don't depend on how much you invest or on the fees each authority charges; they depend on the number of people and on the route. You get them itemized before you sign anything, and they don't change during the process.
How long does the whole process take?
It depends on the route. Income-based visas are the fastest and citizenship by descent is the slowest, because it depends on old civil records. The range for each program is on the cards above. The real timeframe depends on your documents and on the authority that decides: no serious firm can guarantee you a date.
Do I have to move?
It depends on the route. Portugal's Golden Visa requires a stay of just 7 days a year, and those of Greece and Italy don't require physical presence. Income-based visas do require you to actually live in the country. Citizenship by descent never requires you to live there.
Can my family be included in the same application?
In most programs, yes: your spouse and dependent children are added to the same case file. The conditions and the cost per additional person vary by program, and we go over them in the assessment.
What if I don't qualify through any route?
We tell you in the assessment, which is free, and that's the end of it. We'd rather lose a client in the first meeting than open a case file that isn't going to resolve.
Assessment
Half an hour with a specialist lawyer, at no cost.
What helps you right now is reviewing your situation with a lawyer and seeing which route suits you. You leave that call knowing which routes you qualify for, which one suits you best and what it would cost.
If you don't qualify, we'll tell you on that call.
