Worldway Group Exclusive Report: 2015 was a year of frenzied overseas investment by Chinese capital, with Portugal performing particularly impressively. Following the widespread attention garnered by Chinese investments in Portugal since 2014, 2015 proved to be a dazzling year for Chinese capital in the country, bolstered by major investment tycoons such as Li Ka-shing and Guo Guangchang. With their keen insight, these business leaders seized investment opportunities in Portugal, driving individual Chinese investors to choose the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit program. This has ignited a new trend of investing in estate-style real estate to achieve immigration, global asset allocation, and wealth appreciation.

【135-Acre Portuguese Estate Property】


In 2015, with the entry of large Chinese enterprises such as China Three Gorges, Haitong Securities, Huawei, and ZTE into Portugal, China and Portugal achieved significant progress in cooperation across energy, transportation, finance, real estate, tourism, and culture. The friendship between the two countries is currently at its best in history. Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, spent 1 billion euros to add the Portuguese wind power company IBERWIND to his portfolio; the high-profile acquisition battle for Portugal's NOVO BANCO ultimately turned into a tug-of-war between two Chinese companies, Anbang and Fosun; Haitong Securities successfully acquired Banco Espírito Santo de Investimento, and the bank has since been given a prominent Chinese name—Haitong Bank. This series of Chinese corporate ventures in Portugal has stimulated greater enthusiasm among individual Chinese investors for the country, making the Golden Residence Permit highly sought after by many investors.


Purchasing real estate worth 500,000 euros to obtain a Golden Residence Permit for immigration is the primary choice for Chinese investors. Buying Portuguese real estate valued at 500,000 euros allows for rapid immigration to Portugal, and one can apply for citizenship after holding a valid residence permit for 6 years. Because investing in estates is a great choice for achieving global asset allocation, maintaining wealth appreciation, and wealth inheritance, investing in estates—which means investing in land—has become a new highlight in real estate investment for immigration purposes.

Among estate investments, there is a 135-acre Portuguese estate property (reference number PL504) located a 1-hour drive from Lisbon, with full coverage of water, electricity, and communications. It features a buildable area of 900 square meters, with power lines and asphalt roads reaching the edge of the property. Situated on high ground, it offers views of the surrounding countryside and city landscapes on both sides, as well as distant sea views and proximity to a famous surfing beach. The land includes an 8-meter diameter well, offering significant investment value. Interested investors are encouraged to take note.


Following the exclusive launch of the Cyprus Mediterranean Estate by Worldway Group, which received high attention and enthusiasm from investors, this is another estate-style land investment product being introduced.
