Worldway Comprehensive Report: According to the Portuguese Economic Daily on February 5, the European Commission raised Portugal's economic growth forecast for 2015 to 1.6% in its winter economic forecast report, which is 0.1 percentage points higher than the government's annual budget target of 1.5%. This indicates the EU's full confidence in Portugal's further recovery this year, especially in investment and private consumption. Coupled with the recent low value of the Euro, the beginning of 2015 undoubtedly presents a good opportunity for those intending to immigrate to Portugal for investment.
According to data released by Eurostat on the same day, Portugal's unemployment rate in December decreased by 0.1 percentage points month-on-month to 13.4%, a year-on-year decrease of 1.8%. During the same period, the youth unemployment rate rose from 33.4% in November to 34.5% (compared to 35.2% last year). This is good news for investors intending to immigrate to Portugal, as the gradual decline in the unemployment rate indicates that there will be more investment opportunities and more substantial investment returns in 2015. We hope investors do not miss this good opportunity.
Investment immigration to Portugal allows individuals to immigrate by purchasing real estate worth 500,000 Euros under the Golden Residence Permit program. Since its official implementation on October 8, 2012, this program has quickly attracted a large number of supporters worldwide due to its fast application process, high success rate, and benefits for three generations. Among them, Chinese investors are particularly prominent, accounting for 81% of the total approvals for Golden Residence Permits, making them the absolute main force in property investment immigration to Portugal. Worldway, as the first immigration agency in China to introduce this policy, has witnessed the stability and maturity of the Portuguese property investment immigration program after nearly two years of operation.
As the first immigration agency in China to introduce this program, Worldway is the only Chinese immigration agency with an independent branch in Portugal. It has successfully assisted hundreds of Chinese investors in completing their investments in Portugal and obtaining Golden Residence Permits. Its branch in Portugal is located on the bustling Avenida da Liberdade in downtown Lisbon, making it the preferred legal immigration agency for investment immigrants.
