What comes to mind when you think of Portugal?
Passionate football, azure coastlines, or magnificent ancient castles?
Rich and mellow red wine? Soft and sweet Portuguese egg tarts?
The navigator Magellan? The poetic soul Camões?
Or perhaps the powerful and wealthy global empire of the last century, now the leisurely and laid-back backyard of Europe?
Located at the edge of the world, everything in Portugal seems to be connected to the distance. Standing on the coast of Portugal, one can almost feel the vastness and danger of the Atlantic Ocean; facing the sea breeze brought by the Atlantic, worries and sorrows are blown away. Portugal's unique charm always attracts people to visit. The ageless goddess Song Hye-kyo's beautiful photos of her relaxing and drinking in Portugal once trended on Weibo; the free-spirited supermodel Liu Wen and the talented voice actress Han Xue are also fond of Portugal.
Of course, when mentioning Portugal, one cannot help but think of its high-welfare system, where benefits in healthcare, education, and elderly care are quite generous. A pleasant climate, sound welfare, and a developed medical system make Portugal a highly favored destination for investment immigration.
Mature and developed medical conditions
The Portuguese national healthcare system is relatively comprehensive. The government invests 10.1% of its GDP into healthcare annually, which has led to its healthcare system being ranked 12th globally by the World Health Organization. Furthermore, medical costs are very low. As long as you hold a health insurance card, you can enjoy local public healthcare. Moreover, Portugal implements a system of separation between prescribing and dispensing, meaning doctors only have the right to issue prescriptions, and patients must take their prescriptions to a pharmacy to purchase medicine. Pharmacies are very convenient and can be found on every street corner; those with a green cross sign are the ones to look for. Under this comprehensive medical system, the average life expectancy in Portugal has reached 81.1 years!
Sound elderly care benefits
Portugal's elderly care system is vast and comprehensive. Those over 65 can receive pensions and retirement benefits. To ensure the well-being of the elderly, there are supplementary pensions for those over 80. Long-term care allowances can be applied for in cases of long-term bedridden illness or severe mental illness, and elderly people living alone can apply for a survivor's pension.
Children can enjoy high-quality education
Portugal implements 12 years of free public education. Children receive education from the age of 6 until 18, completing 12 grades of schooling. Schools in Portugal offer bilingual education in Portuguese and English, with high educational quality. According to a United Nations report, the average class size in Portugal is 22.2 students. There are ample public and private universities in Portugal, and some private institutions collaborate with schools in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Switzerland to offer dual-degree programs.
Currently, immigration to Portugal continues to rise, and its real estate investment immigration program is gaining significant popularity. Since April, the Portuguese real estate investment immigration program has heated up significantly, with application volumes surging in May and continuing to attract capital in June and July! It is a powerful demonstration of a "strong comeback." According to data released by the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF), from the launch of the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program until July 2020, Portugal has issued 9,015 golden visas, and the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program has attracted a total investment of 5.4 billion euros. Among this, real estate investment remains a popular choice, with an investment volume reaching 4.9 billion euros.
As a member of the European Union, investors can apply for the Portugal Golden Residence status for their entire family of three generations by purchasing properties starting from 350,000 euros through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program. This allows them to enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, travel freely through 26 Schengen countries, and apply for an EU passport after meeting the requirements. At the same time, they can acquire properties with permanent property rights, which is truly a multi-benefit move! Those interested in investing in Portugal should seize the policy advantages and take advantage of the excellent opportunity to invest in real estate in Lisbon and Porto to obtain status sooner.
As an active promoter of European investment immigration, WorldWay Group joined hands with the Embassy of Portugal in China as early as 2013 to introduce the Portugal "Golden Residence Permit Program" to China, starting a wonderful journey of investment immigration to Portugal.
