Recently, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service (SEF) released the Golden Visa data for April 2023. In April 2023, a total of 116 main applicants and 167 dependent applicants were approved for the Portuguese Golden Visa, with a total investment of 63.27 million euros. Among them, 28 main applicants were from the United States, ranking first, followed by China (15), the United Kingdom (14), South Africa (7), and Lebanon (7).
In terms of investment methods, among all those approved in April 2023, 83 applicants chose real estate investment projects, meaning they obtained the Golden Visa through property purchase, with an investment amount of 51.011 million euros. Of this, 37.644 million euros flowed into the 500,000-euro property purchase immigration project, and 13.366 million euros flowed into the 350,000-euro old property renovation project.
In addition, the Portuguese Immigration and Borders Service has also updated the overall data since the implementation of the Golden Residence policy in October 2012. The data shows that as of the end of April this year, 12,037 main applicants have been approved for the Portuguese Golden Visa, along with 19,600 dependent applicants. Among them, the number of approved Chinese families remains firmly in first place, reaching 5,319, accounting for approximately 44%, which shows the favor and recognition of Portuguese immigration projects by Chinese investors. Furthermore, through the Golden Residence Program, Portugal has attracted a total of 6.994 billion euros in investment, of which 6.22 billion euros was invested directly in the real estate market. This indicates that real estate investment remains the primary investment method, and not only Chinese investors but also global overseas investors are optimistic about the positive development trend of Portuguese real estate and have a strong interest in it.
As a country suitable for living and tourism in Europe, Portugal's relaxed immigration policy is favored by countless applicants who aspire to obtain an EU passport. Whether it is for daily life, tourism, or investment, Portugal can meet the needs of many people, and more and more people are choosing to go to Portugal for various reasons such as tourism, immigration, investment, and study abroad.
Currently, investors can apply for the Portuguese Golden Residence status for three generations of their family by purchasing property starting from 280,000 euros through the Portuguese Golden Residence Program. They can enjoy Portugal's generous social welfare and high-quality educational resources, travel freely across 27 Schengen countries, and, upon meeting the corresponding conditions, children can participate in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students to easily enroll in prestigious universities such as 985 and 211 institutions with lower scores, enjoying mainland higher education—truly a multi-benefit move! 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 European Union passport, and enjoy the generous welfare benefits of EU citizens.
