Worldway Comprehensive Report: On December 12, 2014, Ambassador Huang Songfu of China met with Santos, the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Portugal, for a working meeting. Both sides introduced the current development status of their respective civil aviation sectors and exchanged in-depth opinions on issues such as cooperation in the civil aviation field between the two countries. Both parties agreed that the relationship and bilateral cooperation between China and Portugal are developing rapidly, with increasing personnel exchanges. This creates favorable conditions for practical cooperation in the civil aviation sector of both countries. It was agreed to establish a working mechanism in the near future to jointly study and actively explore the possibility of achieving commercial direct flights between the two countries. Clearly, direct flights between the two countries will further enhance personnel exchanges and economic and trade interactions, greatly facilitating Chinese investors' visits to Portugal for investment and inspection. This is a significant benefit for investment immigration to Portugal.

The blue sky, white clouds, unpolluted silver beaches, and high-quality living environment in Western Europe make Portugal a desirable destination for immigrants and tourists from various countries. Since the Portuguese government launched the Golden Residence Permit program in 2012, Chinese investors have been the main force in investment immigration to Portugal. However, it is regrettable that there are currently no direct flights between China and Portugal, requiring transfers through third countries such as Dubai and France, which inadvertently increases the time cost of travel and inspections.
However, as more and more Chinese enterprises and investors visit Portugal for inspections, the issue of direct flights has become increasingly urgent. The establishment of a working mechanism for the direct flight issue will facilitate active discussions and negotiations between the two governments on this topic. The realization of direct flights at an early date will bring great incentives and conveniences for more Chinese enterprises and investors to invest in Portugal.
In 2012, Portugal introduced the most open immigration policy for foreign investment immigrants in Western Europe and the European Union, known as the "Golden Residence Program." The open investment immigration policy and high-quality natural environment have made Portugal highly favored by many Chinese investors.
Worldway is one of the earliest immigration agencies to introduce the Golden Residence Policy to China, successfully assisting hundreds of Chinese investors in completing their investments in Portugal and obtaining immigration status. It is currently the only immigration agency with legal qualifications to establish a branch in Portugal.
