According to comprehensive news from WorldWay: Recently, the Portuguese Ministry of Education announced that the fee for the language proficiency exam that foreigners must pass to apply for Portuguese citizenship will increase from 15 euros to 65 euros, more than quadrupling. The reason given is that this price has not changed for eight years, and the government needs to create a more fair and transparent examination system.
 
The Portuguese language proficiency exams held in various schools have been suspected of fraud in the past three years, such as identity forgery of exam participants.
 
During this period, some individuals have had to take language exams at Portuguese universities, which will cost around 70 euros. Another alternative is to provide proof of participation in Portuguese language courses for at least two years.
 
However, this move has sparked dissatisfaction among many, including Timóteo Macedo, the president of the Portuguese Immigration Association, who stated that this price increase is clearly aimed at wealthy VIP applicants for golden residence permits, while putting tangible pressure on ordinary poor individuals.
Socialist Party member Pedro Delgado Alves stated that this new policy undoubtedly harms the integration of foreign immigrants into the country and is likely to force more people to leave.
 
Currently, the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit program is a good investment immigration project in terms of returns and self-protection. WorldWay, as a leading institution in European investment immigration, was the first to introduce the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit program to the domestic market. Maintaining a good relationship with the Portuguese government, it is the only Chinese immigration agency received by the President of Portugal. It has established strategic cooperation with top local real estate developers in Portugal, providing ample exclusive high-quality property sources to help you purchase satisfactory real estate. WorldWay has numerous successful cases in Portugal and is highly experienced, making it your best choice for quick immigration to Portugal.
