While respecting the freedom of choice for tourists, the Portuguese government is expanding its own tourism resources to enhance its appeal and competitiveness. On the other hand, the government has pledged not to introduce new types of taxes on the tourism industry, which can be seen as a strong, indirect form of support for the sector.
Worldway immigration experts state: Chinese investors seeking to immigrate to Portugal through property investment have continued their enthusiasm from last year. Last year, Chinese tourists spent an average of 935 euros per person in Portugal, becoming one of the strongest consumer groups in the country, surpassing tourists from Angola and Russia. This year, China also participated in the Lisbon Tourism Exchange for the first time, demonstrating China's interest in the Portuguese tourism market.
As a high-value personal investment immigration program, the Portugal property investment immigration program is widely recognized in the industry as a highly cost-effective option due to its investment price advantage, low application threshold, ease of naturalization, the ability to work locally, and the benefit of bringing both spouses' parents and children to enjoy the program together. By purchasing 500,000 euros worth of Portuguese real estate (which can be sold freely after 5 years), one can quickly immigrate to Portugal and become eligible for naturalization after holding a valid residence permit for 6 years. One application allows the whole family to immigrate, enjoy EU welfare benefits, travel to 172 countries globally, and move freely within the 26 Schengen Area countries.
