We built Viv Europe from the other side of the move — as the people who needed it first.
Our founders didn't read about Europe's immigration maze. They lived it — lost documents, silent inboxes, appointments that appeared and vanished, and months spent on what should have taken weeks. The hardest part wasn't the paperwork. It was doing it alone, with your whole life waiting on the other side.
So in 2020, in Braga, they built the company they wished they'd had: real legal expertise paired with a clear, technology-driven process, and a team that treats your move like the life event it is — not a ticket in a queue.
Six years on, Viv Europe has guided more than 3,000 families to new lives across Portugal and Spain. The mission hasn't changed: make moving to Europe feel less like a battle, and more like a beginning.
