  Worldway Group News: Recently, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) released major data on Golden Residence Permits as of December 31, 2015. The total investment for the program reached approximately 1.694 billion euros, with 1.528 billion euros invested in real estate. The data indicates that applying for a "Golden Residence Permit" through real estate investment is the preferred choice for investors. In 2015, Chinese investors remained the primary force behind the number of approved Golden Residence Permits. It is predicted that more Chinese investors will choose to invest in Portuguese immigration in 2016. This has prompted Worldway Group to launch its Portuguese hundred-acre agricultural real estate projects, which are increasingly attracting the attention and selection of Chinese investors.

[Worldway Group Exclusively Launches Portuguese Hundred-Acre Agricultural Real Estate]

  Worldway Group's Exclusive Hundred-Acre Agricultural Real Estate Attracts Investor Attention

  Today, Worldway Group has exclusively launched 8 hundred-acre manor agricultural real estate projects in Portugal, which are highly sought after by many immigrant investors. As Portuguese real estate investment is favored by Chinese investors, choosing hundred-acre agricultural real estate can quickly achieve immigration goals. Choosing manor investment allows for global asset allocation, can be passed down for generations, and fulfills your desire to live in Europe. Worldway Group immigration experts state that if immigrant investors wish to live there long-term, they can choose to invest in residential apartments; however, if the goal is asset allocation or obtaining immigration status, then manor land is a better choice. This is because houses depreciate, while land does not; land is what truly preserves value. In fact, investing in land is also a way of personal cross-border asset allocation, perfectly combining immigration investment with cross-border asset allocation.


  Today, Worldway Group exclusively launches Cyprus Mediterranean Manors and Portuguese hundred-acre agricultural real estate, which have received high attention and favor from immigrant investors. More and more Chinese investors are achieving their goals of immigration and global wealth allocation through European manor-style land and real estate investments.
