Recently, Henley & Partners evaluated global investment residence programs and released the '2023 Global Residence Program Index.' In this year's latest rankings, Portugal has once again topped the list!
Henley & Partners' Residence Program Index reflects the relative value of the world's most prominent investment residence programs. It provides an objective reference for investors choosing identity planning and overseas settlement destinations. A professional team consisting of numerous global academic researchers, country risk experts, economists, independent immigration lawyers, and other industry experts conducted a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the 25 most important residence programs worldwide. They scored them across ten categories: reputation, quality of life, taxation, visa-free/visa-on-arrival access, processing time, compliance, investment requirements, total costs, time to citizenship, and citizenship requirements, ultimately producing the aforementioned ranking.
Europe's appeal in investment residence and citizenship programs remains strong. In the '2023 Global Residence Program Index,' the majority of the top ten global spots are held by European countries. The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program once again took the top spot with a total score of 74; Greece rose to 3rd place; Malta and Ireland ranked 7th and 9th in the world, respectively.
Portugal, a member of the European Union, has won the 'Best European Destination' award multiple times and is a well-known European country for livability and tourism. Portugal enjoys an excellent reputation, high quality of life, and a high social safety index. At the same time, Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe, possessing a rich history, vibrant culture, unique cuisine, charming beaches, and idyllic countryside.
As a European country ideal for living and tourism, Portugal's relaxed immigration policy is favored by countless applicants longing for an EU passport. Whether for food, clothing, housing, transportation, tourism, or investment, Portugal can meet the needs of many, and an increasing number of people are choosing to head to Portugal for various reasons such as tourism, immigration, investment, and study abroad.
For those interested in immigrating to Portugal, seize the final opportunity and submit your application as early as possible! On February 16, local time, the Prime Minister of Portugal announced the termination of the Portugal Golden Residence policy. This means the Portugal Golden Residence program is about to exit the historical stage. The government originally planned to announce the detailed closure rules on March 16, which has now been extended to March 24. It is expected that there will be a buffer period. There is still an opportunity to apply now, but time is running out for investors. Taking immediate action is the best strategy for those in need!
Recently, news of changes to immigration policies in various European countries has been frequent. For investors, the saying 'immigrate early' is not just talk. Currently, there are few programs left in the immigration market that can quickly obtain EU status, and the Portugal Golden Residence program is an excellent springboard for obtaining an EU passport with a low threshold.
Currently, through the Portugal Golden Residence Program, investors can purchase property starting from 280,000 Euros to apply for Portugal Golden Residence status for their entire family of three generations. They can enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, travel freely through 27 Schengen countries, and, upon meeting the corresponding conditions, children can participate in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, allowing them to easily enter prestigious universities like 985 and 211 institutions with lower scores and enjoy mainland higher education—truly achieving multiple goals at once! At the same time, after holding a Portugal 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 welfare benefits of EU citizens.
