Industry Consensus: 2013 is the Year of European Immigration
At the first event of the Shanghai Housing Expo, the themed forum "International Lifestyle Begins with European Property Immigration," Dr. Winner Xing, President of WorldWay Immigration Group, warmly welcomed the guests and delivered an impressive speech.
This year's Shanghai Housing Expo features the largest overseas exhibition area in history, with the European Pavilion established for the first time, with WorldWay Immigration as the sole organizer. This marks the first time in the history of housing exhibitions in China that a European Pavilion has been opened. Currently, achieving the dream of an immigrant life through overseas property investment has become a highly valued investment concept and international lifestyle for Chinese people. Since 2012, European property immigration projects have attracted increasing attention and pursuit from Chinese investors. With its unique advantages in climate, environment, economy, culture, and education, Europe has gradually become the preferred destination for Chinese people seeking overseas property immigration. The Cypriot property immigration project, which opened its immigration policy at the end of 2011, has quickly gained popularity in China due to its straightforward path to permanent residency, simple application requirements, fast processing speed, and absence of immigration monitoring.
In the past, the doors to investment immigration in European countries were always closed. The outbreak of the European debt crisis led to a very conservative immigration policy in EU countries, which finally opened their doors in 2012 and 2013, introducing the most favorable immigration policies in history, providing new opportunities for immigration applicants. Holding citizenship from EU countries facilitates work, business, study, and life in the EU and European Economic Area countries, as well as Switzerland, for 31 countries, and children will also have the freedom to develop throughout the EU and European Economic Area in the future. WorldWay Immigration was the first to foresee the arrival of the European immigration era, and at the beginning of this year, it announced "2013 as the Year of WorldWay Immigration to Europe," indicating that the Cyprus and Portugal projects would be the "golden keys" to opening the door to Europe, which has now become a consensus in the Chinese industry and has garnered high attention from investors.
This Shanghai Housing Expo is the first stop of WorldWay Immigration's 2013 European Immigration Year tour. Subsequently, WorldWay Immigration will hold European property exhibitions in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen, and other cities, inviting more powerful developers, well-known law firms, and important guests from Cyprus, Portugal, and other European countries to provide investors with more quality property options and legal support. Additionally, themed study tours focusing on Europe, nationwide roadshows, Sino-European cultural exchanges, and club interactive salons will be held to help investors quickly obtain EU citizenship while experiencing the diverse culture and quality of life in Europe. The European Pavilion at the Shanghai Housing Expo is not only a showcase of European properties but also the best platform to enhance Sino-European cultural exchanges and friendly interactions.
The Ambassador of Portugal Attends the Event

Mr. José Tadeu Soares, the Ambassador of Portugal to China, congratulated the grand event of the European Pavilion at the Shanghai Housing Expo, introducing the Portugal Golden Residence Permit program announced at the end of last year, stating that this is the most open and attractive policy in recent years. He jointly touched the crystal ball with Dr. Winner Xing, President of WorldWay Immigration Group, announcing the official landing of the Portugal Golden Residence Permit in China. The Ambassador personally handed over a "golden key" symbolizing the opening of the door to Portuguese immigration life to Dr. Winner Xing, hoping that WorldWay Immigration can assist Chinese investors in purchasing property, immigrating, and living in Portugal.
Renowned Developers Gather to Showcase
The European Pavilion at this Shanghai Housing Expo features a total of 36 booths, primarily from exhibitors in Cyprus and Portugal. The strong presence of Portuguese developers in the European Pavilion marks the first large-scale entry into China since the new investment immigration law was enacted on October 8 of last year. WorldWay Immigration has specially invited the Portuguese Trade and Investment Agency, Portugal's largest state-owned bank CGP, and well-known law firms from Portugal, as well as the most powerful developer teams from the region, bringing high-quality properties with Western European charm and stylish designs, offering a rich variety of properties at competitive prices. Guests will have the opportunity to appreciate the charm of properties in Portugal, a traditional Western European powerhouse, and its top-notch supporting services, as well as to understand local property trends and cultural life.
As Cypriot properties gradually gain favor among Chinese investors, this exhibition has attracted significant attention from many well-known Cypriot property developers, with several strong developers vying to participate. WorldWay Immigration has invited members of the Cyprus Real Estate Association, renowned developers who entered the Chinese market early, and influential developers from the four major hot property areas of Paphos, Limassol, Larnaca, and Ayia Napa to jointly exhibit. In 2012, 80% of Chinese investors achieved property investments through these developers, who brought Mediterranean-style boutique properties, including full-sea-view gardens, villas with private pools, luxurious boutique apartments with coastal views, and properties in prestigious school districts in the UK, allowing investors to appreciate the charm of Mediterranean properties.
Currently, WorldWay Immigration has established strategic partnerships with many well-known developers in Europe. All exhibitors in the European Pavilion at this exhibition are partners of WorldWay Immigration, selected through professional screening to recommend strong, reputable, and trustworthy developers and lawyers to Chinese investors. WorldWay Immigration collaborates closely with them to help investors successfully achieve real estate investments and obtain immigration visas in Cyprus and Portugal, ensuring a comfortable immigration life. Currently, WorldWay Immigration has a 100% success rate on European projects, creating a record of obtaining permanent residency in Cyprus in just 21 days, and approval for Portugal in only three weeks.
Taking Responsibility for Clients, Jointly Issuing the Integrity Declaration
Focusing on investment immigration for 16 years, WorldWay Immigration has always adhered to a client-centered approach. As the only immigration agency with an independent customer service center in Europe, WorldWay Immigration has introduced 20 detailed guidelines for settling services, providing seamless support for clients throughout the entire process of consultation, inspection, property purchase, and immigration.
Representatives from well-known law firms in Cyprus sign the "Shanghai Declaration" on behalf of all developers participating in the Cyprus exhibition.
Taking advantage of this grand event, in order to create a favorable investment environment for investors and promote the healthy and orderly development of the Cyprus property immigration market, WorldWay Immigration, with a responsible attitude towards investors, initiated the integrity declaration initiative, reaching a consensus with all participating developers and lawyers to jointly issue the "Shanghai Declaration," aiming to ethically regulate the market, improve services, resist malicious competition, oppose price fraud, and provide high-quality property and immigration services for Chinese investors, safeguarding their path to property investment and immigration.
Diverse Formats in the European Pavilion, Continuous Expert Guidance and Discounts
During the exhibition, WorldWay Immigration established a European Immigration Consultation Center, a forum speaking area, and a lawyer consultation desk to provide on-site free consultation services for investors. They invited well-known European property developers to explain projects in detail to investors, while immigration officials, economists, and other professionals shared hot topics such as global asset allocation and immigration planning. Cyprus Day and Portugal Day will also be held to allow guests to learn about European countries. Additionally, WorldWay Immigration has prepared exciting promotional activities and exquisite gifts to engage guests in experiencing European folk culture.
The Shanghai Housing Expo & Overseas Property Investment Immigration Exhibition opened on March 15 and lasted for four days. During this time, the professional team from WorldWay Immigration will provide detailed explanations of European property immigration projects to guests on-site and present several exciting special lectures on European immigration to assist investors in acquiring property in Europe and embarking on an international lifestyle.
