Chapter 01

Country Introduction

Portugal, located in the southwestern part of the Iberian Peninsula in Europe, borders Spain to the east, north, and west, and faces the Atlantic Ocean to the southwest. It is a member of the European Union and a founding member of the Euro, one of the 29 Schengen countries, and a member of international organizations such as the United Nations and the WorldWay Organization. Portugal's beautiful natural environment, unique cultural customs, sound pension benefits, developed healthcare system, and low-threshold immigration policies make it a popular destination for many investors seeking to plan their residency.

Project Introduction

Applicants can apply for a Portuguese Golden Residence Permit by making a one-time donation to a cultural restoration or artistic project recognized by the Portuguese government. The minimum donation amount is usually €250,000, but if the selected project is located in an area designated by the Portuguese government as low density, a 20% reduction is available, allowing for a minimum of only €200,000 to apply.

WorldWay Professional Support

WorldWay was the first to introduce the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program to China.

In April 2013, we held the "Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program Launch Ceremony" in collaboration with the Portuguese Embassy in China, bringing the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program to China; and received the "Significant Contribution Award for Promoting Investment in Portugal" from Portuguese Members of Parliament.

WorldWay has assisted multiple clients in successfully converting their Portugal Golden Visas into Portuguese EU passports, making us one of the few immigration agencies in the industry with such practical cases.

As a proactive promoter of European investment immigration projects, WorldWay has always maintained friendly interactions with the Portuguese government.
