At the end of 2012, Portugal launched the “500,000 Euro Property Investment Immigration” policy. Although it has been less than a year, Portuguese authorities have announced that they have already received over 100 million euros (approximately 820 million RMB) in capital inflows from Chinese investors.
Portugal Property Investment Immigration projects have not been in the Chinese market for long. Why have they sparked such a craze in the Chinese investment immigration market? Portugal possesses the most clearly defined, fastest-approving, and safest investment immigration policy among current EU member states, offering significant advantages.
According to the Portuguese property investment immigration policy, applicants may purchase multiple properties as long as the total value reaches 500,000 euros. Requirements for residency obligations have also been relaxed, reducing the required stay from 30 days per year to 7 days. Although various European countries are currently implementing property investment immigration policies, it is rare to see a country like Portugal continuously relaxing its immigration policies, which clearly demonstrates the welcoming attitude of the Portuguese government.
In addition, besides enjoying free primary and secondary education in Portugal, applicants' children can also share in high-quality European university education resources. Coupled with a stable social environment, comprehensive social welfare, and a high quality of European life, all these factors indicate that Portugal is one of the most suitable property investment immigration solutions for Chinese immigrants.
