The importance of early immigration is not just talk. Recently, the Cyprus government announced that it will temporarily suspend the Cyprus Investment Programme effective November 1, 2020. This sudden policy change once again proves that for immigration, seizing the opportunity is the smart approach. Early planning and swift action are the only ways for the whole family to benefit sooner!

 

Many people have thoughts about immigration but have never taken action. They often feel they are not fully prepared, family opinions are not yet unified, they feel hesitant, or it does not seem that urgent, so they decide to wait a little longer. As a result, while they wait, prices rise, programs are suspended, or the policies of their preferred immigration countries change, leaving them wringing their hands in regret.

 

In fact, it is not the first time that immigration programs have been suspended or policies have changed suddenly. In April 2007, the Macau real estate investment immigration program was suspended; in January 2015, the Hong Kong Capital Investment Entrant Scheme was suspended; in December 2016, the Ireland Immigrant Investor Programme increased its investment requirements; in March 2017, the Hungary Residency Bond Program was permanently terminated; in July 2019, the Moldova Citizenship by Investment Program was suspended; in November 2019, the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program increased its investment thresholds; and starting in October 2020, Malta implemented a new policy for its citizenship program, raising the investment threshold.

 

Therefore, the best time for immigration is always in the past, and the second best time is now. The two key elements of immigration are timing and choice! Those who seized the policy dividends have already realized their immigration dreams, while investors who have missed out should seize the present and get on board quickly.

 

Cherish the present, the countdown to Cyprus EU passport applications has begun

 

If you have long planned to obtain an EU passport, the most direct, simple, and convenient choice currently is the Cyprus EU passport. Furthermore, the Cyprus EU passport program has entered its final countdown; it will be temporarily suspended starting November 1. Now is the time to catch the last train of this policy!

 

As a top 500 Asian brand with over 20 years of experience in investment immigration, WorldWay Group has already initiated emergency filing and submission services. Currently, WorldWay Group's project team, documentation team, customer service team, and overseas personnel are working in close coordination with clear divisions of labor. We are going all out, racing against time, and working overtime to help investors complete the relevant application submission procedures before November 1. We advise investors interested in Cyprus EU status to contact WorldWay as soon as possible to seize this rare window of opportunity before the suspension!

Immigration should be done early; securing EU status is urgent
 

In the face of tightening policies, the most prudent and cost-effective decision is to catch this last train for the Cyprus EU passport! Of course, time is tight, and immigration is not something that can be achieved overnight. For those who cannot catch the last train of the Cyprus policy due to special reasons, they can prepare and plan in advance, choosing other paths to obtain high-value EU status.

 

The time-limited and quota-restricted Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program

 

Currently, Montenegro is a country with a clear timeline for joining the European Union. The European Commission has publicly stated that "Montenegro could join the EU by 2025"! Recently, the European Commission announced again that at least one country will join the EU during its term, and Montenegro is the candidate country most likely to join. It is worth mentioning that the new European Commission was formed in 2019 and has a 5-year term. According to the European Commission's statement, this means Montenegro could join the EU before 2024, accelerating the timeline!

 

As Montenegro's accession to the EU accelerates, the Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program has become a shortcut to quickly obtaining an EU passport. Currently, with an investment starting from 350,000 euros, you can not only acquire a property with permanent property rights but also apply for a passport from Montenegro, an EU candidate country, for your whole family, achieving a win-win for overseas property and overseas status! It is worth noting that the Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program runs from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021, leaving only about one year of application time remaining!

Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program

 

Portugal, as a member of the European Union, allows investors to apply for the Portugal Golden Residence status for three generations of their family by purchasing property starting from 350,000 euros through the Golden Residence Permit Program. This allows them to enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, and travel freely within the 26 Schengen countries, while also acquiring property with permanent property rights—truly a multi-benefit solution!

 

At the same time, after holding a Portuguese Golden Residence Permit for 5 years, meeting the annual 7-day residency requirement, and passing the A2 level Portuguese language test, one is eligible to apply for Portuguese citizenship, obtain a Portuguese EU passport, and enjoy the generous welfare benefits of an EU citizen.

Turkey Citizenship by Investment Program

 

Turkey is one of the few European countries that is simultaneously an EU candidate country, a member of the Council of Europe, and a member of the European Customs Union. It has a clear goal to join the EU within the next 5 years, at which point its passport will be upgraded to an EU passport. Currently, Turkey is already aligning with "EU accession" standards in various fields such as politics, economy, and culture!

 

By purchasing Turkish property starting from 250,000 USD, investors can obtain a passport from a G20 country in one step without the need for residency. This provides visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 112 countries and regions worldwide, including Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, etc.

Immigration should be done early; securing EU status is urgent
 

In fact, no matter which country you are immigrating to, you should act as early as possible because immigration is highly correlated with the policies of the respective country. Who can predict the changes in a country's immigration laws? The only thing you can do to get the status you desire is to seize the present! Status planning does not allow for hesitation.
