The Portugal Golden Visa program is one of the few immigration programs that allows residency permits through real estate purchases. With a low investment threshold and simple requirements, it has attracted many visionary investors to establish a presence in Portugal. Recently, the Portugal Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) released the latest Golden Visa data as of the end of March 2019. What does this data convey? Let’s explore it together with the WorldWay Group.
Real estate investment remains the primary form of investment
According to the latest data on the Portugal Golden Visa, since the program's launch in 2012, the total investment has reached 4.446 billion euros, with real estate investments accounting for 4.023 billion euros, representing over 90%. As of the end of March, a total of 7,291 families have been granted Golden Visas (with 83 new approvals in March), of which 6,879 families are from real estate investments (6,582 at an investment of 500,000 euros and 297 at an investment of 350,000 euros), indicating that real estate investment remains the primary form of investment.
Chinese applicants continue to hold the top position
The data shows that as of the end of March 2019, the number of applications from Chinese families remains the highest, reaching 4,180 families, with 21 new applications in March, accounting for 57.33%. Since the launch of the Portugal Golden Visa program, the number of Chinese applicants has consistently ranked first, demonstrating the strong preference of Chinese investors for Portugal's investment immigration.
Through the Portugal Golden Visa program, investors can purchase real estate starting from 280,000 euros, allowing their entire family across three generations to apply for the Golden Residence Visa in Portugal, enjoying the country's generous benefits in education, healthcare, and retirement, as well as the ability to travel freely within the Schengen Area.
Since 2018, the Portuguese government has introduced open immigration incentive policies, such as lowering the citizenship threshold and relaxing permanent residency conditions, warmly welcoming global investors. This presents a strong attraction for those intending to immigrate to Portugal. Therefore, individuals interested in investment immigration to Portugal should seize the favorable policy period to take advantage of the opportunity for low-cost immigration and benefit early!
