European countries have become popular destinations for Chinese investors seeking immigration. Recently, Forbes released the 2014 list of the top ten countries for Chinese investment immigration, half of which are European countries. By integrating data from European immigration countries, it is found that factors such as peace, healthcare, economy, education, politics, and travel are the main reasons attracting Chinese investors. However, most European immigration experts indicate that these immigration policies are primarily designed to stimulate the domestic economy and are unlikely to last long; "as long as the country's economy improves, the immigration programs will be closed."
Spain, known as the "Kingdom of Tourism," has made its debut on the list of countries for Chinese investment immigration, ranking 6. Although Spain's implementation of the European property investment immigration policy started relatively late, it has become a shining star. The Spanish property investment immigration policy stipulates that individuals can obtain a residence visa and high-standard EU benefits by purchasing property worth 500,000 euros, attracting keen interest from investors due to its simple investment requirements and the prestige of a major country.
Another hotspot for immigration in Europe is Portugal, which, although not yet in the top ten list, is undeniably attractive to Chinese investors. Since the introduction of the Golden Residence Permit program for property investment in 2012, Portugal has issued 2 Golden Visas in 2012 and 494 in 2013. As of June 30, 2014, a total of 1166 investors worldwide successfully obtained the Portuguese Golden Residence Visa, among which 952 were from China, accounting for 81% of the total.

Portugal and Spain are neighboring countries, located in an important position in Europe, and both have popular property investment immigration policies, making them two major hotspots for immigration in Europe. However, as immigration experts say, such attractive European investment immigration policies were born out of the economic crisis and may also cease with economic recovery. It is recommended that investors seize the opportunity and apply as soon as possible.
