  In recent years, the immigration market in European countries has flourished, with "short, flat, and quick" immigration policies and attractive economic recovery drawing investors in droves. Particularly influenced by the Belt and Road Initiative, numerous enterprises are expanding abroad to engage in investment and acquisition activities, significantly boosting the trend of Chinese citizens traveling overseas for tourism and education. This has sparked a wave of overseas travel, study abroad, overseas asset allocation, and a new wave of immigration, creating a European investment immigration whirlwind.



 

  Europe has become the focal point of global investors

 

  With the comprehensive rollout of the Belt and Road Initiative, China and Europe are closely connected. Favorable national strategic policies from the Chinese government have provided Chinese enterprises with an excellent opportunity to venture into Europe! Currently, Europe has become the focal point of global investors' attention. Not only high-net-worth individuals represented by the likes of Li Ka-shing and Wang Jianlin are targeting Europe, but also many wealthy individuals are heading to Europe for asset allocation.

 

  Europe may be an important destination for overseas asset allocation

 

  The Belt and Road Initiative has stimulated considerable overseas investment and technological exchanges. From 2014 to 2016, the total trade volume between China and the countries along the Belt and Road exceeded 3 trillion USD. The extensive economic, cultural, and academic exchanges have also triggered an immigration wave in European countries.

 

  For overseas asset allocation, the investment approach most familiar to Chinese individuals is undoubtedly real estate investment. Investing in European properties not only yields wealth but also grants prestigious European status, making it simply perfect!


 
 

  European immigration offers multiple choices and more advantages

 

  Since 2015, countries like Greece, Spain, Portugal, and Cyprus have successively relaxed their immigration policies to attract more overseas investors with advantages such as "low cost, low threshold, high benefits, and high welfare." In the increasingly mature European market, investors and immigrants can take advantage of favorable policies while also meeting local needs, representing a rare development opportunity.

 

  So, what are the advantages of immigrating to Europe?

 

  ● Real estate investment, value preservation and appreciation

  ● One person's investment leads to green cards for the entire family

  ● High-quality education available for children

  ● European Union status, free movement



 
 

  How much does it cost to immigrate to various European countries?

 

  Greece: 250,000 euros for property purchase (5-year lease, 7% annual yield, equivalent to investing only 160,000 euros), easily becoming a landlord

Portugal: 500,000 euros for one application, immigrant for three generations

Cyprus: 2 million euros for a family EU passport, enjoying EU citizen benefits

Spain: 500,000 euros, permanent property + first-class education + access to Schengen countries
