According to reports from Notícias ao Minuto, in recent years, due to conflicts in Middle Eastern countries and the desire of refugees for better living conditions, Europe has experienced a large-scale wave of immigration. Faced with this situation, many European countries have shown exclusionary attitudes toward refugees, but Portugal is one of the few countries that has actively responded to refugee policies, ranking among the top in terms of best immigration policies.
Pedro Calado, High Commissioner for Migration in Portugal, stated that the most important reasons for immigrants choosing Portugal remain employment and family reunification. In recent years, many retirees have chosen to immigrate to Portugal due to its tax incentives and lower cost of living. In addition, the High Commission for Migration has introduced two programs—Portuguese language learning and immigration guidance—to help immigrants better integrate into Portuguese society.
Pedro Calado believes that Portugal's economic strength is continuously growing, which means the country will welcome more immigrants. According to the latest data, Portugal's unemployment rate has fallen by 18.3% compared to the same period last year, with the national unemployment rate reaching its lowest level since 2008. With a booming real estate sector, as well as significant development in tourism and emerging technology industries, the comprehensive rise of independent travel has led more and more foreign buyers to favor the Portuguese real estate investment market. This further illustrates that Portugal's development is improving, and it will become increasingly sought after by investors from various countries.
Portugal has a beautiful environment and is a famous kingdom for vacation and tourism, receiving millions of international tourists 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. By purchasing property, parents not only provide their children with better living conditions and investment returns as property values rise, but their children can also gain access to superior education. In 2017, Portugal added 12 new immigration offices, which is also a major positive development for the approval of Golden Residence permits. Currently, applicants can obtain a "Golden Residence Permit" visa for three generations of their family by investing 500,000 Euros in Portuguese real estate, creating a second home overseas and enjoying high European welfare benefits.
