In 2020, due to the impact of the pandemic, many investors who had already applied for a Cyprus EU passport were unable to travel to Cyprus to complete the final application procedures, such as passport issuance, and were forced to delay receiving their passports. Recently, investors finally received good news: the Embassy of Cyprus in Beijing has installed biometric identification equipment, which means that after the naturalization certificate for a Cyprus EU passport applicant is issued, the biometric identification and the issuance procedures for passports and ID cards can be carried out in Beijing!
As one of the few immigration programs that allows for obtaining an EU passport directly in one step, the Cyprus EU passport program has always been favored by investors. However, on November 1st of this year, the program was suspended, leaving many investors who had not yet submitted their immigration applications or missed the last train for the Cyprus EU passport sighing with regret: immigration should be done early, and that is not just talk!
The suspension of the Cyprus EU passport program means that the paths to obtaining an EU passport are becoming increasingly narrow. So, what other ways do investors have to obtain an EU passport?
In addition to the Cyprus EU passport program, investors can currently take the convenient path of the Montenegro Citizenship by Investment Program with an investment starting from 350,000 euros, allowing the whole family to apply for a passport from Montenegro, an EU candidate country, to obtain future EU citizenship and an EU passport!

In addition, investors can also apply for an EU passport through the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program. By purchasing property starting from 350,000 euros, investors not only gain property with permanent ownership rights but can also apply for Portugal Golden Residence status for three generations of their family, enjoying Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, and free travel across 26 Schengen countries. After meeting the conditions, they can also apply for Portuguese citizenship, i.e., naturalize in Portugal and obtain a Portuguese EU passport, which can be described as achieving multiple goals at once!
Furthermore, immigration to Portugal has recently seen a major positive development: Portugal has passed a new Nationality Law, which states that as long as either parent holds a Portuguese Golden Residence Permit for one year, their children born in Portugal can directly obtain Portuguese nationality. This is undoubtedly a major benefit for investors who intend to plan their next generation's status in advance! This significant benefit may attract more investors to immigrate here, and immigration to Portugal may also set off a new wave.
Immigration should be done early rather than late. Those interested in investing in Portugal might as well seize the policy benefits, take advantage of the great opportunity to still be able to immigrate by purchasing property in Lisbon and Porto, get on board early, and obtain status sooner.
As one of the Top 500 Asian Brands, Worldway Group, as one of the earlier immigration agencies to promote the Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program in China, has joined hands with powerful Portuguese developers to introduce another major property project in Lisbon to investors—apartments in the center of Lisbon are currently selling hot. Properties are limited, first come, first served!
