The Portugal Golden Residence Visa has seen strong growth in the first half of this year! According to reports, investment obtained through the Portugal Golden Residence Visa in the first half of the year reached 331.6 million euros, an increase of 33% compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, in the first half of the year, the Portugal Golden Residence Visa program approved a total of 649 main applicants and 735 dependent applicants.
In fact, since Portugal launched the Golden Residence program in 2012, it has been highly sought after by numerous immigrant investors worldwide, and Portugal has become a household name in the immigration market. In recent years, immigration to Portugal has been very popular, as it meets the multiple needs of applicants for their children's education, retirement, living, and working, making it a top choice for applicants!
Children born can directly obtain Portuguese citizenship
Parents' love for their children is profound and far-reaching. In today's society, many Chinese parents plan ahead for their children's future education and development by obtaining a second citizenship for them. According to the new Portuguese Nationality Law, children born in Portugal to foreign immigrants who have resided in Portugal for at least one year (with a residence permit) can obtain Portuguese citizenship. This means that after non-Portuguese immigrants have legally resided in Portugal for one year, their children born there can enjoy the convenient policy of birthright citizenship, obtaining a Portuguese passport, which is an EU passport. Once naturalized, children can enjoy various benefits of Portuguese citizenship and EU resources.
Children can enjoy high-quality education
Portugal implements a 12-year compulsory education system, meaning that Portuguese residents must receive compulsory education until the age of 18, and every student has the right to education. Primary school is divided into four years, middle school preparatory classes for two years, middle school for three years, and high school education takes three years. Schools in Portugal provide bilingual education in Portuguese and English, with high educational quality. British and French international schools are spread throughout the country, offering internationalized education, cooperating with many world-renowned universities, and providing scholarships. The multilingual cultural environment shapes multilingual talents. Portugal has high-quality educational resources, with libraries and museums everywhere, and many immigrant families choose to immigrate to Portugal because of its educational atmosphere.
Mature and developed medical conditions
The Portuguese national healthcare system is also relatively sound. The government invests 10.1% of its GDP in healthcare every year, which makes its healthcare system ranked 12th in the world by the World Health Organization, and on the other hand, its medical costs are very low. As long as you hold a health insurance card, you can enjoy local public medical services. Moreover, Portugal implements a system of separation of medicine and pharmacy, so doctors only have the right to prescribe, and patients need to take the prescription to a pharmacy to buy medicine. Pharmacies are very convenient and can be found all over the streets, marked with a green cross. Under the sound medical system, the average life expectancy in Portugal has reached 81.1 years!
Generous retirement benefits
"Medical care" for the elderly is a prerequisite for retirement, and developed medical care is essential. Portugal's pension system is vast and sound. Those over 65 can receive pensions and retirement benefits. To ensure the lives of the elderly, there are supplementary pensions for those over 80, long-term care allowances can be applied for those who are bedridden due to illness or have severe mental illness, and widowed allowances can be applied for by the elderly living alone.
It can be said that a Portuguese identity can meet the multiple needs of investors. Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Program, investors can purchase properties starting from 280,000 euros to apply for Portuguese Golden Residence status for their entire family of three generations, enjoy generous social benefits and high-quality educational resources in Portugal, travel freely through 26 Schengen countries, and if they meet the corresponding conditions, children can participate in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students as overseas Chinese students, easily entering 985, 211, and other prestigious universities with lower scores, and enjoy mainland university education, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone! At the same time, after holding a Portuguese Golden Residence permit for 5 years and meeting the low residency requirement of 7 days per year, one is eligible to apply for Portuguese citizenship, obtain a Portuguese EU passport, and enjoy the generous benefits of EU citizens.
