Recently, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) released the Golden Visa data for June 2021. In June 2021, a total of 67 main applicants and 83 dependent applicants were approved for the Portuguese Golden Visa, with a total investment of 36.45 million euros. Among them, there were 20 applicants from China, accounting for nearly 30% of the total.
From the perspective of investment methods, among all those approved in June 2021, 60 applicants chose real estate investment, meaning they obtained the Golden Visa through property purchase, with an investment amount of 34.353 million euros. Of this, 29.085 million euros flowed into the 500,000-euro property investment immigration program, accounting for 85%; 5.267 million euros flowed into the 350,000-euro old property renovation program, accounting for 15%.
From the perspective of the nationality of the main applicants, there were 20 investors from China, continuing to maintain a leading position. This is followed by Russia (8), the United States (7), South Africa (4), and Brazil (3). This also indicates that as the property investment immigration policy in Lisbon and Porto is about to end and the pandemic situation is gradually improving, not only Chinese investors but also investors from around the world, such as North America, Brazil, and Russia, are seizing the final opportunity to enter the market and catch the "last train" for property investment immigration in Lisbon and Porto.
In addition, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service also released overall data since the implementation of the Golden Residence policy in October 2012. The data shows that as of the end of June this year, 9,834 main applicants have been approved for the Portuguese Golden Visa, meaning nearly 10,000 people have been approved in total. Among them, 4,943 were Chinese applicants, accounting for more than half, which shows the favor and recognition Chinese investors have for the Portuguese program. Through the Golden Residence Program, Portugal has attracted a total of 5.87 billion euros in investment, of which 5.31 billion euros was directly invested in the real estate market, demonstrating the strong interest of overseas investors in the Portuguese real estate market.
New Policy for Portuguese Golden Residence Visa
To be implemented from January 1, 2022
Catch the "last train" for property investment
immigration in Lisbon and Porto, Portugal
It is better to immigrate early than late! According to Article 14 of 2021 promulgated by the Portuguese government, starting from January 1, 2022, immigrating to Portugal by purchasing residential real estate will be limited to inland areas, the Madeira Islands, and the Azores. For the two popular investment cities favored by Chinese investors, Lisbon and Porto, according to the new policy, they will no longer qualify under the Portuguese Golden Residence Act. Investors who intend to obtain status through property investment in Lisbon and Porto and apply for an EU passport must seize the "window period" of the last few months, enter the market quickly, and catch the "last train" for property investment immigration in Lisbon and Porto.
