As one of the first EU Schengen countries to introduce a property-based immigration policy on the European continent, Portugal provides solid legal protection for its Golden Residence applicants through sound legal provisions and clear immigration policies. Regarding naturalization applicants who have immigrated to Portugal through property investment, the Portuguese Parliament previously approved an amendment to the Nationality Law, which will allow children of immigrants who have resided in Portugal for one year to obtain citizenship by birth (i.e., jus soli), benefiting every child of a Portuguese Golden Residence visa holder.
Although children born to foreigners residing in Portuguese territory were previously eligible to apply for naturalization, at least one parent was required to have resided in Portugal for at least two years. If the new bill is passed, this time can be shortened to one year. A well-known Portuguese immigration lawyer expressed great optimism about the provisions regarding jus soli in the new bill.
Current and future investment immigrants undoubtedly welcome this jus soli policy in Portugal, as it means that Golden Visa investors can enjoy the additional benefit of granting Portuguese citizenship to their children after only one year of residence. In other words, the children of Golden Visa investors can qualify for Portuguese citizenship years before their parents naturalize, without the need to prove Portuguese language proficiency as required of previous applicants.
The renowned immigration lawyer stated: "For Golden Visa applicants, this is very important, especially for couples who are planning their future in Portugal."
Parents always plan for the long-term well-being of their children. In today's society, many Chinese parents plan ahead for their children's future education and development by obtaining a second citizenship for them. Through the Portugal Golden Visa program, with a property investment starting from 350,000 Euros, the whole family across three generations can apply for a Portuguese Golden Residence visa. After holding the visa and residing in Portugal for one year, newly born children can enjoy the convenient policy of naturalization by birth, obtaining Portuguese EU citizenship! Considering the cost-effectiveness of immigrating to Portugal, whether it is for Portuguese EU citizenship or the high-quality education and medical resources available here, it is worth considering for Chinese parents planning for the next generation.
In recent years, Portugal's immigration policy has been gradually optimized, with favorable news emerging frequently. Parents who wish to obtain Portuguese citizenship for their children should seize this opportunity, immigrate to Portugal as soon as possible, and start preparing for childbirth in Portugal!
