  In the 2015 Global Investment Immigration Policy Ranking published by the international organization Henley & Partners, Portugal's 'Golden Residence' investment immigration policy ranked first, making it the most competitive in European countries, surpassing traditional immigration countries such as the United States and Canada.




  Portugal's 'Golden Residence Program'


  The immigration requirements for Portugal are very simple; one only needs to invest in real estate or agricultural property worth more than 500,000 euros in Portugal to obtain golden residence status for the entire family, enjoying equal benefits in healthcare and education as Portuguese citizens. Children applying to universities in various EU countries can also enjoy most-favored-nation treatment within the EU.


 The Increase in Immigration Through the 'Golden Residence' Program


  According to official reports from Portugal, from October 8, 2012, to December 31, 2016, the 'Golden Residence Permit' program has attracted 4,202 investors, with a total investment exceeding 2.5 billion euros, of which over 90% of investors completed their applications for golden residence permits through real estate investments.


  Outstanding Advantages of the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit


  1. Low application thresholds, with no requirements for language, education, source of funds, or management experience.

  2. Real estate investments are safe, stable, and come with permanent ownership, whether for personal use or rental.

  3. One person invests, and three generations benefit.

  4. No immigration monitoring; only 7 days of residence in the first year, then 14 days every two years thereafter.

  5. High-quality social welfare, enjoying benefits equivalent to those of Portuguese citizens in terms of work, education, and healthcare.

  6. Travel freely in Europe, with unrestricted movement across 26 Schengen countries.
