Recently, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) released the Golden Visa data for October 2020. In October 2020, a total of 54 main applicants and 72 family members were approved for the Portugal Golden Visa, with a total investment of 28.677 million euros. Among them, Chinese investors continue to lead.
Among all main applicants, 48 investors obtained their status through real estate investment, accounting for 85.7% of the total applicants. Of these, 35 main applicants invested in the 500,000-euro real estate project, and 13 invested in the 350,000-euro renovation project, with the combined investment amount reaching 25.927 million euros. In terms of nationality, investors from China remain in first place (20), followed by the United Arab Emirates (5), Vietnam (5), Turkey (5), and Brazil (4).
According to the data, since the launch of the Portugal Golden Visa program in October 2012, a total of 9,254 main applicants have been approved over the past 8 years. Among them, 4,728 applicants were from China, accounting for more than half. Over these 8 years, the Portugal Golden Visa program has attracted 5.561 billion euros in investment, with 5.024 billion euros flowing into real estate. This means that Portuguese real estate, characterized by high demand, ideal rental yields, and suitability for wealth inheritance, remains the preferred choice for investors looking to immigrate to Portugal.
As a member of the European Union, Portugal allows investors to apply for the Golden Residence status for three generations of their family by purchasing property 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 across the 26 Schengen countries, and apply for Portuguese citizenship after meeting the requirements, thereby obtaining an EU passport. At the same time, they also gain real estate with permanent property rights—a multi-benefit opportunity! With the closure of the Cyprus Investment Program, which offered a direct path to an EU passport, this shortcut to EU citizenship via the Portugal Golden Visa will attract more investors. Furthermore, the recently passed new Nationality Law in Portugal significantly lowers the requirements for naturalization for children of foreigners born in Portugal. This major positive development is expected to attract more investors to immigrate here, potentially sparking a new surge in Portuguese immigration.
Immigration is best done sooner rather than later. With changes to the Portugal Golden Visa program imminent, investors interested in investment immigration to Portugal and applying for an EU passport should seize the current excellent opportunity to purchase property in Lisbon and Porto. Act early to secure your status sooner.
