According to data released by the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service, as of May 31, 2017, the number of approved cases for immigration to Portugal through the Golden Residence Permit program has been increasing. With the rise in the minimum wage and the decrease in unemployment rates in Portugal, along with the investment support from property purchases for immigration, the number of foreign nationals immigrating to Portugal is also on the rise. So, where do immigrants in Portugal typically choose to settle? Which city in Portugal is more suitable for new immigrants to live in?
From 2007 to 2016, approximately 400,000 people immigrated to Portugal and obtained citizenship. These "new Portuguese" mainly come from Brazil, China, Cape Verde, and Ukraine. Currently, these immigrants are mainly concentrated in five major regions:
1. Lisbon
As the capital and largest city of Portugal, Lisbon winds along the Atlantic coast by the Tagus River, situated on steep hills. The weather in Lisbon is mild, making it very suitable for immigrants to live. It features charming alleys, quaint shops, Gothic churches, enchanting bridges, and vibrant communities.
2. Algarve
This city, located at the southernmost point of Portugal, is a visual feast. Algarve has many advantages that attract more and more immigrants to settle here. With its sunny Mediterranean climate, charming beaches, picturesque towns, abundant historical sites, delicious food, and relatively low cost of living.
3. Madeira
Madeira is known as the "Garden of the Atlantic" and is an extremely fertile oasis located between Portugal and North Africa. The capital and largest city of Madeira is Funchal, which is home to many historic churches and fortresses. It also boasts numerous tourist resorts and restaurants, offering spectacular sea views.
4. Porto
It is worth mentioning that Porto's wine is world-renowned. Porto is situated on a hill overlooking the beautiful Douro River in northern Portugal. In the city center of Porto is the famous Ribeira pedestrian area. The vibrant music, numerous cafes, restaurants, and vendors all tell the story of the city's prosperity and the comfortable life of immigrants in Portugal.
5. Coimbra
Coimbra is a charming town located along the Mondego River in central Portugal. It is not only filled with many precious historical sites but also boasts countless beautiful gardens. The vibrant culture here nurtures the ancient University of Coimbra, which is one of the reasons why immigrant parents are fond of this place.
