Worldway Comprehensive News: Recently, according to the latest data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE) of Portugal, the Portuguese economy accelerated its recovery in the first quarter of 2015, with a year-on-year GDP growth of 1.4% and a quarter-on-quarter growth of 0.4%. The year-on-year GDP growth of 1.4% in Portugal met analysts' expectations, surpassing Germany and showing impressive performance. Therefore, Chinese investors interested in property investment immigration should seize this opportunity.
From the perspective of the entire European region, Portugal's GDP performance in the first quarter is also noteworthy. According to updated data from Trading Economics, the GDP growth rate in Europe for the first quarter of 2015 was only 1.0%, and Germany was only 1.1%, both lagging behind Portugal.
Portugal's economy has been continuously warming up, thanks to the government's correct decisions in various aspects. Among them, the enthusiasm of Chinese investors for the "Golden Residence" investment immigration policy has played a significant role. The emergence of the "Golden Residence" coincides perfectly with the turning point of the Portuguese economy.
In recent years, European countries have successively introduced high-quality property investment immigration policies, among which Portugal's "Golden Residence" has jumped to the forefront of the global investment immigration policy rankings in 2015, becoming a top-quality immigration project worldwide. Worldway immigration experts analyze that with the current recovery of the Portuguese economy and the euro falling to a historical low, the appreciation potential of investing in Portuguese real estate is expected to be greater, while its advantageous geographical location makes Portuguese real estate stand out among many European property projects.
As a high-value personal investment immigration project, property investment immigration in Portugal is recognized in the industry as a highly cost-effective immigration project due to its investment price advantage, low application threshold, ease of obtaining citizenship, and the ability to work locally while bringing both spouses' parents and children to benefit as a family. By purchasing a property worth 500,000 euros (which can be freely sold after 5 years), one can quickly immigrate to Portugal, and after holding a valid residence permit for 6 years, one can apply for citizenship. One application allows the whole family to immigrate, enjoy EU welfare benefits, travel freely to 172 countries worldwide, and enter 26 Schengen countries without restrictions.
Worldway's immigration experts state that property investment immigration in Portugal represents the first instance of such an open immigration policy among EU member states and Western European countries. It is noteworthy that by simply purchasing a property, one can quickly obtain Portuguese residency, significantly lowering the conditions for obtaining an EU passport. With the surge in investment interest in Portugal, this presents an unprecedented opportunity, and investors are advised not to miss this excellent investment timing.
