Recently, the "Top Six Immigration Trends of 2019" released by WorldWay Group has attracted widespread attention from the industry and numerous domestic media outlets. Among them, the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program has experienced a rational warming trend supported by a series of favorable policies, strongly earning its place as one of the "Top Six Immigration Trends of 2019" and becoming a major focus.
In 2018, the Portuguese government successively introduced open immigration incentive policies, including the promulgation of the "Amendment to the Portuguese Nationality Act," which lowered the threshold for naturalization by reducing the residency requirement for citizenship applications from 6 years to 5 years. Additionally, a new decree was issued to relax permanent residency conditions, allowing Golden Residence Visa holders and their dependents to apply for permanent residency after holding the visa for 5 years, with the residency requirement waived after obtaining permanent status. The introduction of this series of policies is undoubtedly significant positive news for investors.
At the same time, the investment option introduced by the Portuguese government in 2015 for the Golden Residence Permit Program—allowing a family of three generations to obtain a Golden Residence Permit through a property purchase starting from 350,000 Euros—has become more mature and diversified after several years of positive development. Furthermore, the investment option of purchasing funds starting from 350,000 Euros, which meets immigration requirements, has also attracted widespread attention from investors and is becoming generally accepted.
Due to these various adjustments in immigration policies, the value of the Portugal Golden Residence Visa will be re-evaluated by immigration investors, all of which will drive the rational warming of the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, making it one of the top six immigration trends of 2019.
Since its launch in 2012, the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program has been highly sought after by investors for its unique project advantages and the country's own strengths. WorldWay immigration experts state that currently, the investment amount of 350,000 Euros to purchase property and obtain a Golden Residence Permit for three generations of a family is considered a very low threshold among investment immigration programs in Western European countries, which is highly attractive to investors from all over the world. Therefore, those interested in investment immigration to Portugal should seize the current golden period of favorable policies and apply early to benefit sooner.
