Worldway Comprehensive News: According to data from high-end real estate companies, in 2014, Portugal's high-end real estate sales performed exceptionally well, with a 48% increase in sales volume compared to the previous year, reaching a sales amount of 185 million euros. The data shows that last year, the proportion of foreign investors purchasing properties in Portugal reached 66%, surpassing that of Portuguese citizens, while in 2013, the proportion of foreign investors buying properties in Portugal was only 50%. This presents a timely opportunity for investors intending to immigrate to Portugal through property acquisition.
At the end of 2012, Portugal launched the "Golden Residence Visa Program," allowing non-EU citizens to apply for permanent residency in Portugal by transferring a capital of 1 million euros, creating 10 direct jobs, or purchasing properties worth over 500,000 euros, through any of these methods. Among these options, the 500,000 euro property acquisition project is undoubtedly the most attractive to Chinese investors.
According to data provided by the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service, as of March 31, 2015, the number of individuals who successfully obtained the Portuguese Golden Visa has reached 2,290, bringing a total investment of 1.36 billion euros to Portugal; the main group of property buyers comes from China, totaling 1,840, accounting for approximately 80.3% of the total. Among all investors, Chinese investors continue to hold an absolute leading position, with their proportion never falling below 80%, and they maintain an excellent record of no failed cases, demonstrating the high recognition and demand for the Portuguese property immigration project among Chinese investors.
