Mr. Xiong is the chairman of a foreign trade enterprise in Guangdong. A few years ago, he began considering immigration to Europe. On one hand, Mr. Xiong frequently travels to Europe with his family and enjoys the leisurely and tranquil lifestyle there; on the other hand, he hopes to establish a company in Portugal to further expand his foreign trade business in Europe.

 

Mr. Xiong first heard about the property investment immigration program in Portugal in early 2013, but being cautious by nature, he maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the new immigration policies introduced by the Portuguese government. Additionally, there are many immigration agencies in China, making it quite overwhelming. It wasn't until last year, after discussing business with an old friend in the industry, that the topic of immigration came up. His friend had already obtained immigration status in Portugal and had a very smooth experience from the investigation to the application process. He enthusiastically shared how the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit had facilitated travel for his family. This conversation prompted Mr. Xiong to reconsider the immigration issue. Accompanied by his friend, he visited WorldWay in October for relevant consultations.

 

Mr. Xiong expressed his desire to first understand the basic process of starting a company in Portugal before finalizing his itinerary for the visit. Conducting business is also an important consideration for this immigration. With the assistance of the local branch in Portugal, we quickly found the relevant procedures for establishing a personal trading company in Portugal. The registration of private enterprises in Portugal has been streamlined to an internet-based, one-stop, and convenient process. The registration fee is only 220-360 euros, and it can be completed in one day. This efficient online registration gave Mr. Xiong great confidence in the business convenience and environment in Portugal.

After clarifying the company registration issues in Portugal, Mr. Xiong felt reassured, which also validated the professionalism of WorldWay; immigration is not just about obtaining a status, but also about how to expand one's career and better integrate into the life of the host country after immigration. These aspects can be quite confusing for newcomers, and only a highly professional immigration company can provide peace of mind. Soon, Mr. Xiong signed a contract with WorldWay to visit Lisbon for property inspection, and at the end of November 2014, he embarked on a five-day, four-night property investment immigration tour in Portugal.

 

Mr. Xiong's main intention for this inspection was to look for villas and high-end apartments in Lisbon, primarily for residential purposes. The Portuguese company located in Lisbon prepared a very ample selection of properties for him. From the old town center of Lisbon to the university city, from the Expo area to the riverside area of Belém, the itinerary was compact and fulfilling. At the same time, the accompanying team guided Mr. Xiong to visit famous local attractions in Lisbon, such as the UNESCO World Heritage Site Pena Palace and Belém Tower, the ancient São Jorge Castle, and the magnificent 4.25 Bridge, allowing him to gain a good understanding of the local culture and society. Mr. Xiong successfully purchased a satisfactory property during this enjoyable inspection trip.
