When you reach old age, you want to savor life more carefully
Choose a city to enjoy a quiet and comfortable retirement
Turn a "vacation" into "daily life"
Recently, the American magazine International Living released its 2020 ranking of the best countries for retirement, with Portugal taking the top spot! So, why did Portugal rank first as the best country for retirement?
Comfortable and pleasant climate
Portugal has a temperate maritime broad-leaved forest climate in the north and a subtropical Mediterranean climate in the south. The average temperature is 7–11°C in January and 20–26°C in July. The annual average precipitation is 500–1000 mm. With a forest coverage rate of 35% and PM 2.5 levels in the single digits, it is a natural oxygen bar in Europe and is very suitable for living.
Safe and stable national environment
In the 2019 Global Terrorism Index, Portugal was also rated as the third safest country in the world. At the same time, according to a statistical survey released by the international organization InterNations, Portugal is currently the most friendly country in Europe for expatriates and one of the top ten friendliest countries and regions in the world.
Mature and developed medical conditions
Portugal's national healthcare system is relatively comprehensive. The government invests 10.1% of its GDP in healthcare every year, which makes its healthcare system ranked 12th in the world by the World Health Organization. On the other hand, its medical costs are very low. As long as you have a health insurance card, you can enjoy local public medical services. Moreover, Portugal implements a system of separation of prescribing and dispensing, so doctors only have the right to issue prescriptions, and patients need to take the prescription to a pharmacy to buy medicine. Pharmacies are very convenient and can be found all over the streets; those with a green cross sign are pharmacies. Under the perfect medical system, the average life expectancy in Portugal has reached 81.1 years!
Affordable cost of living
Most people think that countries with developed tourism industries will have correspondingly high consumption levels, but Portugal is one of the few countries with low living costs among many popular tourist destinations. Coffee lovers will definitely have a special affection for this country because the price of a latte is only about 2 Euros!
World-famous delicacies
Egg tarts can be said to be the iconic food of Portugal. In addition, Portuguese cod, grilled sardines, Portuguese stews, cheese, etc., are all mouth-watering delicacies.
Sound pension benefits
Portugal's pension system is vast and comprehensive. People over 65 can receive old-age pensions and retirement pensions. To protect the lives of the elderly, there are supplementary pensions for those over 80. Long-term care allowances can be applied for those who are bedridden due to illness or have severe mental illness, and widowed allowances can be applied for by the elderly living alone.
Pleasant Mediterranean climate, sound pension benefits, developed medical system... For your family and yourself, Portugal is the choice for health planning and status planning. Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, investors can purchase properties starting from 350,000 Euros to apply for the Portugal Golden Residence status for their whole family of three generations, travel freely through 26 Schengen countries, and at the same time gain properties with permanent property rights. Planning a suitable residence for yourself and your family can be described as killing many birds with one stone!
Recently, the Portugal "Golden Residence Permit Program" has ushered in good news. At the beginning of 2020, Portugal passed an amendment to the Golden Residence Visa Act in the 2020 budget amendment, proposing to raise the investment threshold for the Golden Residence Visa. Recently, due to the impact of the coronavirus, the amendment of the plan has been shelved. This means that you can still apply for the Portugal Golden Residence status in Lisbon and Porto.
As an active promoter of European investment immigration, WorldWay Group joined hands with the Portuguese Embassy in China as early as 2013 to introduce the Portugal "Golden Residence Permit Program" to China, opening a wonderful journey of Portuguese investment immigration. As one of the earliest immigration agencies to promote the Portugal "Golden Residence Permit Program" in China, WorldWay has maintained good interaction with the Portuguese government for many years to help you immigrate to Portugal easily!
