Following the announcements of COVID-19 vaccination plans by countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Spain, Portugal has recently joined the ranks of nations that have unveiled their own vaccination programs.
On November 23, Paulo Teixeira, President of Pfizer Portugal, stated that Pfizer has initiated contact with Portuguese authorities regarding the "transportation and storage of the COVID-19 vaccine." Discussions concerning priority groups for vaccination (referring to those susceptible to the virus) will take place in December, and the vaccine is expected to be available in January.
Paulo Teixeira stated, "Currently, we are working with Portuguese authorities to accelerate this entire process. We are striving to ensure that our vaccines can be produced quickly and distributed to all countries."
On the same day, Graça Freitas, Director-General of the Directorate-General of Health (DGS) in Portugal, also announced that Portugal's vaccination plan against COVID-19 is currently under preparation, a process that has been ongoing for the "past few months."
Graça Freitas revealed: "Portugal is part of the European Union's vaccine procurement plan and has signed contracts with at least four companies. The National Authority of Medicines and Health Products (INFARMED) has been monitoring the development of all new vaccines." She emphasized that the Directorate-General of Health (DGS) has also been tracking the entire progress from the very beginning. She stated: "Since the vaccine began production and testing in clinical trials, Portugal has started developing its COVID-19 vaccination plan, taking into account all procedures for transportation, cold chain, administrative networks, and training programs."
As an EU member state, Portugal boasts a favorable tax system, superior social welfare benefits, and high-quality education, making it a long-standing favorite among immigrant investors. In recent years, the booming real estate market in Portugal has attracted numerous investors. Since the outbreak of the pandemic, while many countries' real estate markets have remained sluggish, Portugal's property market has shown astonishing performance, with both housing prices and rents soaring, demonstrating remarkable resilience. With the announcement of Portugal's COVID-19 vaccination plan, this is undoubtedly a major positive for immigrants interested in entering the Portuguese real estate market.
Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program, purchasing property starting from 350,000 Euros allows three generations of a family to apply for Portuguese Golden Residence status, enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, and travel freely across the 26 Schengen countries. Upon meeting the requirements, one can apply for Portuguese citizenship, obtain an EU passport, and acquire permanent property rights—truly a multi-benefit investment! 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 even more investors. Furthermore, with the recent passage of the new Nationality Law in Portugal, children of foreign immigrants born in Portugal can obtain Portuguese nationality after their parents have resided in the country for one year (with a residence permit). This significant benefit is expected to attract more investors, potentially sparking a new wave of immigration to Portugal.
Immigration is best done sooner rather than later. With the Portugal Golden Visa program facing imminent policy changes, investors interested in investing, immigrating to Portugal, and applying for an EU passport should seize the current opportunity to purchase property in Lisbon and Porto. Act early to secure your status sooner.
