The current Economic Advisor to the President of Portugal, Mr. Jorge Portugal, visited the Worldway Portugal branch (located on the 3rd floor of 190 Avenida da Liberdade, a prime area in Lisbon) at 5:00 PM local time on October 23rd. He met once again with Dr. Winner Xing, President of the Worldway Group. The two parties held a cordial and friendly meeting. Mr. Jorge Portugal highly praised Worldway for being the first to promote the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit Program in China and for achieving impressive results over the past year and a half. He expressed his hope that Worldway would continue to play its leading role in the industry, successfully building a bridge for Chinese investors to reach Europe and the rest of the world.

Presidential Economic Advisor Mr. Jorge Portugal stated that Portugal is an inclusive and accepting society, and that both the government and the people hold a welcoming attitude toward foreign investors. Over the past year, the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit Program has been very successful. In less than two years, nearly 1,500 Chinese investors have successfully obtained Portuguese immigration status through this program. The Presidential Economic Advisor further noted that Portugal is not only a gateway for Chinese investors to enter the European Union, but more importantly, obtaining Portuguese immigration status serves as a unique golden key for Chinese investors to unlock the vast markets of the Portuguese-speaking world in South America and Africa, acting as a bridge for Chinese investors to reach the Lusophone world.
Since the promulgation of the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit Program in October 2012, Worldway has responded rapidly. The group's management traveled to Portugal to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the project's feasibility and inspected local properties, becoming the first to establish a branch in Portugal and introduce the Golden Residence Permit Program to China. In early 2013, the President of Worldway and the then-Portuguese Ambassador to China, Mr. Jose Tadeu C. Soares, jointly launched the "Portuguese Golden Residence Program Officially Lands in China" in Shanghai. Subsequently, Worldway was the first in China to propose the concept of "2013: The Year of European Immigration" and held hundreds of roadshow seminars across the country. Based on Worldway's significant contributions to Portugal's investment economy, Dr. Winner Xing, President of Worldway, was cordially received by the then-President, Mr. Cavaco Silva, at the Presidential Palace in Portugal on June 5, 2013. To date, Worldway has successfully assisted hundreds of Chinese investors in completing their investments in Portugal, and the number of immigration applications submitted has consistently remained at the forefront of the national market share. As a leading institution in Portuguese investment immigration, Worldway aims to provide Chinese investors with the most professional and comprehensive immigration and investment services.
This is the second time the Economic Advisor to the President of Portugal has met with Dr. Winner Xing, President of Worldway. The entire meeting lasted for four hours. Mr. Jorge Portugal patiently listened to Worldway's opinions, which signifies the Portuguese government's high regard and recognition of the Golden Residence Permit Program, as well as its support and affirmation of the positive role played by the Worldway Group in promoting the project in China and helping Chinese citizens invest in Portugal. We know that this is the highest level of courtesy received by a Chinese immigration agency from an official government of a European country, following the meeting between the then-President of Portugal, Mr. Cavaco Silva, and the President of Worldway on June 5th of last year.
