When to use -ing form?
As far as I understand both of the sentences below are correct:
"This scheme applies to people that move from another country outside of the UK."
"This scheme applies to people moving from another country outside of the UK."
But, is either of them preferred in certain situations? Can anyone tell me the difference. I prefer the last one because it sounds more efficient. I'm asking because I'm being corrected from time to time on similar sentences by native speaker reviwers.

The only difference I see is that the second makes movement a bit more likely.
