The charming country of Portugal has always been a destination many aspire to, with a significant number of people moving there every year. Beyond its livable environment and superior social welfare, immigrating to Portugal offers an excellent integration mechanism for immigrants. A recently published Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), partially funded by the European Commission and co-planned by the British Council and the Migration Policy Group, indicates that Portugal is one of the ten countries with the best integration policies for immigrants.
According to the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX), in 2019, Portugal ranked alongside Nordic countries and traditional popular immigrant destinations, placing it at the forefront of new immigrant destinations and far ahead of countries like Italy.
The report states that in recent years, Portugal has been continuously improving its immigrant integration policies. In the overall assessment, all policy areas in the 2019 survey report for Portugal were above the global average, with the exception of health.
In terms of anti-discrimination, Portugal scored a maximum of 100 points;
In terms of labor market mobility, Portugal scored 94 points;
In terms of family reunion policies, Portugal scored 87 points;
In terms of citizenship, Portugal scored 86 points.
The report points out that Portugal has also begun to address the weaker links in its immigrant integration policies, such as healthcare and education for immigrants. The Portuguese healthcare system is improving equal access to medical services and related information for immigrants; on the other hand, the Portuguese education system is also increasing efforts to support diversity in schools. Furthermore, in the future, it is likely to further improve the level of information sharing and interaction for immigrants in local society.
Among the many immigrant-receiving countries, European nations are increasingly favored by investment immigrants due to their superior natural environment, developed humanities and society, high-quality education, and sound social welfare, combined with the fact that most countries have relatively relaxed investment immigration policies and relatively low investment amounts. Among them, Portugal has attracted numerous investors to immigrate there due to its booming real estate market in recent years and its cost-effective Golden Residence Permit program.
Immigrants are not just residents living in the country for the short or long term; they are also potential future citizens. If the host government has more inclusive policies for immigrants, it is more conducive to immigrants living in harmony with local citizens and integrating quickly into local society. Portugal's advantage lies in its low discrimination against immigrants, high labor market inclusivity, and ease of family reunion. It is believed that as the Portuguese government continues to improve its immigration policies, it will attract more investors.
Currently, with a booming real estate market and a stable environment, Portugal is a prime opportunity for investment! Investors interested in immigrating to Portugal can currently apply for the Portuguese Golden Residence status for three generations of their family by purchasing properties starting from 350,000 euros. They can enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, travel freely across 26 Schengen countries, and, upon meeting the conditions, apply for Portuguese citizenship—that is, naturalize in Portugal and obtain an EU passport—while also acquiring real estate with permanent property rights. It is truly a multi-benefit move! With the closure of the Cyprus Investment Program, which allowed for direct acquisition of an EU passport, this shortcut to obtaining EU citizenship through the Portuguese Golden Visa will attract more investors. Furthermore, with the recent release of Portugal's new Nationality Law, as long as either parent holds a Portuguese Golden Residence permit for at least one year, their children born in Portugal can directly obtain Portuguese nationality. This major benefit will attract more investors to immigrate there, and immigration to Portugal may set off a new wave.
Immigration should be done sooner rather than later. Those interested in investing in Portugal might as well seize the policy benefits, take advantage of the great opportunity to purchase property for immigration in Lisbon and Porto, and get on board early to obtain status sooner.
As one of the Top 500 Asian Brands, Worldway Group, as one of the earliest immigration agencies to promote the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit in China, has joined hands with powerful Portuguese developers to introduce another major real estate project in Lisbon to investors—apartments in the center of Lisbon are currently selling hot. Properties are limited, first come, first served!
