Recently, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) released the Golden Visa data for August 2021. In August 2021, a total of 64 main applicants and 79 dependent applicants were approved for the Portuguese Golden Visa, with a total investment of 35.333 million euros. Among them, there were 19 applicants from China, who continued to rank first.
In terms of investment methods, among all those approved in August 2021, 56 chose real estate investment, meaning they obtained the Golden Visa through property purchase, with an investment amount of 30.467 million euros. Of this, 24.485 million euros flowed into the 500,000-euro property purchase immigration program, and 5.982 million euros flowed into the 350,000-euro old property renovation program.
From the perspective of the nationality of the main applicants, there were 19 investors from China, followed by the United States (9), Russia (5), Canada (3), and Brazil (3). Chinese applicants have consistently remained at the top, and the number of investors from other countries is also continuously increasing. This indicates that with the upcoming cessation of the property purchase immigration policy in Lisbon and Porto, and the gradual improvement of the pandemic situation, not only Chinese investors but also global overseas investors are optimistic about the positive development trend of Portuguese real estate. They have a strong interest in Portuguese property and are rushing to enter the market to catch the "last train" for property purchase 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 August this year, 9,939 main applicants have been approved for the Portuguese Golden Visa. Among them, 4,972 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 5.93 billion euros in investment, of which 5.36 billion euros was directly invested in the real estate market, accounting for 90.4% of the total investment. It is evident that overseas investors have a strong interest in the Portuguese real estate market.
This also means that if you want to obtain a Golden Visa by investing in properties in popular cities such as Lisbon and Porto, there are only three months of golden time left. Everyone must cherish this precious window period and hurry to get on board. Currently, investors can apply for the Portuguese Golden Residence status for three generations of their family through the Portuguese Golden Residence Program by purchasing properties that are over 30 years old or located in urban renewal areas and renovating them for a total value exceeding 350,000 euros, or by purchasing real estate (including land resources, residential properties, commercial properties, etc.) with a value of no less than 500,000 euros. This allows them to enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, and travel freely across 26 Schengen countries, which can be described as achieving multiple goals at once!
The Worldway Group, one of the Top 500 Asian Brands, as an immigration agency that promoted the Portuguese Golden Residence Program in China at an early stage, is joining hands with powerful Portuguese developers to grandly introduce another high-quality Portugal immigration project to the vast number of investors—the brand-new, fully furnished garden apartment in the center of Lisbon, "Earl's Garden," helping investors catch the last train for property purchase immigration in Lisbon and Porto!
