Portugal boasts a beautiful environment and is a renowned kingdom of tourism, welcoming millions of international visitors every year. It offers high investment returns and significant potential for future appreciation. Portuguese real estate holds great advantages in terms of property rights, policies, and market maturity. Furthermore, investing in Portuguese property enables a strategy of “funding education through property,” where parents, through the purchase of real estate, not only provide better living conditions for their children to await investment gains as prices rise, but also enable their children to access superior education. Investing in property for immigration to Portugal not only satisfies these two points, but goes beyond them, allowing investors to achieve greater returns.
1. Education in Portugal
The quality of higher education in Portugal is very high, and the Portuguese educational system is quite comprehensive. Portuguese law mandates 12 years of free compulsory education; all children under the age of 18 are entitled to free public education. In addition to public education, Portugal has established a systematic and well-developed private education system. Many private schools are ranked among the best in terms of teaching staff, educational facilities, and campus environment. The Portuguese private international education system is generally divided into four major streams: British, American, French, and German. For Chinese nationals, in terms of costs, receiving an international education in Portugal allows students to apply to various prestigious European universities as local candidates, with tuition fees at 30%-60% of those for international students.
2. How to Select a School District Property in Portugal?
School district properties in Portugal are primarily located in Lisbon. if the children are still young and the property is mainly for self-use, the first factor to consider when selecting such a property is the quality of the school. Additionally, there are apartment properties available in the national university district of Lisbon, which are located very close to many public universities.
3. Portugal Property Investment Immigration: "Exceptional Value"
What makes Portugal's property investment immigration even more of an "exceptional value" to Chinese investors is that, according to the immigration policy, citizens of non-EU countries who purchase property worth at least 500,000 Euros in Portugal can immigrate their families (up to three generations) to Portugal. After maintaining the investment for 5 years, one can apply for permanent residence in Portugal, and after 6 years, one can apply for citizenship.
Once permanent residence is obtained, the purchased property can be disposed of freely; even if it is sold, it will not affect the residency status. Property usage rights and land ownership in Portugal are permanent and can be passed down through generations. Upon obtaining Portuguese permanent residence, one can work and invest in Portugal, travel freely through the 26 European Schengen Area countries, and enjoy welfare benefits almost equal to those of local citizens.
