Worldway Lisbon News: According to reports, Asia's richest man Li Ka-shing's pace of entering Europe has not slowed down due to the "divestment" controversy. Recently, Li Ka-shing's Power Assets Holdings announced that it has reached an agreement for a joint venture acquisition of the Portuguese wind power company Iberwind Group. Currently, in addition to Li Ka-shing, other Chinese super-rich individuals such as Wang Jianlin have also ventured into investments in Portugal, which will undoubtedly further stimulate the enthusiasm of Chinese investors for immigration investment in Portugal.

It is reported that Iberwind is the second largest wind power company in Portugal, with a total of 39 power generation sites across Portugal, generating a total annual output of 648 megawatts (MW). In the future, the number of its power generation sites will increase to 42, and the new power plants are currently under construction. According to the latest statistics from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Li Ka-shing's personal net worth is $31.3 billion, ranking 18th globally in terms of personal wealth. This year, he has gradually shifted his business focus from mainland China to overseas, especially Europe, which has become increasingly evident. Portugal currently presents good investment opportunities, which a giant investor will naturally not overlook.

The large-scale acquisitions by Chinese enterprises have also driven more individual immigration investments. According to the Golden Residence data released by the Portuguese Immigration Bureau, as of September 30, 2015, a total of 2,502 investors have been approved, with a total investment amount of 1.517 billion euros, of which the investment amount in real estate projects is 1.37 billion euros. Among the 2,502 approved investors, 1,996 are from China, accounting for nearly 80%. The data shows that Chinese investors have become the main force in immigration investment in Portugal.
As a high-value personal investment immigration project, the Portuguese property immigration program is recognized in the industry for its investment price advantage, lower application threshold, ease of obtaining citizenship, the ability to work locally, and the option to bring both spouses' parents and children to benefit as a family, making it a highly cost-effective immigration project. Worldway immigration experts state that purchasing a property worth 500,000 euros can quickly lead to immigration 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.
