According to comprehensive news from Worldway: Two years ago, people only had images of the "rich and handsome" Cristiano Ronaldo on the football field or the fragrant "Portuguese egg tart" on the streets, or perhaps just a vague concept of the "Spanish neighbor". However, today, the waves of approved numbers for the Portugal Golden Residence Permit have made people marvel at the strong attraction of developed European countries.
In October 2012, the Portugal property investment immigration policy, the "Golden Residence Permit", was implemented, immediately causing a stir in the domestic market. Portugal instantly became the focal point in the investment immigration market, creating a strong momentum for overseas property investment immigration.
Latest data from the Portugal Immigration and Borders Service (SEF)
According to the latest data released by the Portugal Immigration and Borders Service (SEF), as of September 30, 2014, Portugal had issued a total of 1,564 Golden Visas, with a total investment amount reaching 949 million euros. Among these, property investment accounted for 863 million euros, or 91%. Among the investors who received Golden Visas, Chinese investors held a dominant share of 80%, becoming the main players in the Portugal investment immigration market. Meanwhile, driven by the surge in property investment immigration in Portugal, Chinese tourists' spending in Portugal has also seen a crazy increase. According to data provided by the Bank of Portugal, the total spending of Chinese tourists in Portugal for the entire year of 2013 was 34 million euros, an increase of 22.8 million euros compared to 2012, nearly doubling. This figure has continued to rise this year; in just the first four months of 2014, the total spending of Chinese tourists in Portugal exceeded that of the same period in 2013 by a full 14.3 million euros, with a year-on-year increase of nearly seven times. Whether in the real estate market or the consumer market, Portugal can be said to have sparked the "most stylish Chinese trend".
With the support of favorable citizenship policies, Portugal has become a major winner in the European immigration market and is regarded as the most cost-effective property investment immigration project. Meanwhile, in the context of frequent changes in investment immigration policies in many countries, the Portuguese Deputy Prime Minister recently stated that the government will firmly maintain the "Golden Residence Permit", providing a significant reassurance for applicants of property investment immigration in Portugal.
The Portugal Golden Residence Permit is one of the few immigration projects in the investment immigration market with high "gold content". Coupled with the continuously recovering domestic economy and stable policies, it will continue to be favored by investors. To help domestic investors establish a second home in Portugal with peace of mind, in 2014, Worldway established a large customer service center in the center of Lisbon, becoming the only Chinese immigration agency with an independent office in Portugal. The upgrade of customer service in Portugal marks a comprehensive upgrade of Worldway's European customer service, providing clients with services such as inspections, property purchases, banking services, legal consultations, and immigration procedures, extending to assisting clients with comprehensive property management and maintenance services. From the perspective of wholeheartedly serving clients, European immigration clients no longer need to worry about trivial matters and can enjoy a carefree life in Europe. Worldway has now launched the "EU Citizen Month" event, which runs from now until November 17, 2014, focusing on European immigration projects.
