Recently, the news that the Cyprus Investment Program will be suspended beginning November 1 has caused a stir in the immigration industry. Previously, the Cyprus Investment Program was one of the few options in the immigration market for obtaining an EU passport in a single step. The sudden news of its imminent closure serves as a new example to investors of the unpredictable nature of immigration policies, while once again confirming the principle that "early action is key to successful immigration"!
The reason EU passports are so highly sought after is not only because of their extensive visa-free access but also because owning an EU passport is equivalent to 1=31! That is, EU passport holders have the freedom to move, work, reside, and study across a total of 31 European countries, including the 27 EU member states (such as Germany, Austria, Italy, France, and Finland), the 3 European Economic Area member states (Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein), as well as Switzerland, and can enjoy the generous welfare benefits of EU citizens in any EU country.
The imminent closure of the Cyprus Investment Program means that the pathways to obtaining an EU passport are becoming increasingly narrow. So, after the Cyprus Investment Program closes, do investors still have opportunities to apply for an EU passport and gain EU citizenship?
In addition to the Cyprus Investment Program, investors can also pursue an EU passport indirectly through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program. Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, investors who purchase qualified real estate starting from €350,000 not only acquire a property with permanent property rights but can also apply for the Portugal Golden Residence status for three generations of their family. This allows them to enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, enjoy visa-free travel across 26 Schengen countries, and, upon meeting the requirements, apply for Portuguese citizenship—gaining a Portuguese EU passport. It is truly a multi-win opportunity!
A friendly reminder: In immigration, it is better to act early than late! Investors interested in investing in Portugal and applying for an EU passport should seize the excellent opportunity to invest in property in Lisbon and Porto now. Get on board early and secure your status sooner.
