Good news! It has been reported that a new citizenship platform in Portugal will be launched, allowing applicants to monitor the entire process of citizenship granting in real-time online, further enhancing the speed, transparency, and trustworthiness of the Portuguese citizenship granting process.
The new system will digitize the entire process, and has already expedited the processing of 23,000 applications currently in the registration stage. The Ministry of Justice stated that steps such as digitizing and categorizing the process, as well as automatically integrating with the civil registration system to issue birth registration certificates, will require no staff intervention, effectively reducing the consultation service time of other related departments, such as the police or the Directorate-General for Justice Administration.
The Ministry of Justice expects that this method will save 20,000 hours of manual work, equivalent to "86 employees being freed up to perform other more value-added tasks," marking a new phase in the development of the citizenship processing process. In the past 10 months, over 16,000 applications have been submitted online. The new citizenship platform will also allow real-time online monitoring of various stages of the process, thereby increasing the transparency and trustworthiness of the process and improving the efficiency of citizenship processing.
According to the Portuguese Nationality Law, holders of the Portuguese Golden Residence Visa are eligible to apply for Portuguese citizenship as long as they have resided in Portugal for a total of 35 days within five years. The only requirement for citizenship is a language test, but the requirements for the Portuguese citizenship language test are not high, only needing to reach a basic level of A2, and the test is relatively simple. Moreover, only one of the spouses needs to pass the Portuguese A2 test to bring along their spouse and minor children, allowing the whole family to apply for Portuguese citizenship and obtain a Portuguese EU passport, thereby acquiring EU citizenship.
The acceleration of the Portuguese citizenship application process and the provision of real-time online tracking features is indeed great news for immigrants. It is believed that Worldway will receive more good news about clients of the Portuguese Golden Visa successfully obtaining Portuguese passports.
As everyone knows, on October 6, 2023, the Diário da República of the Portuguese Republic published a new housing law, which completely ends the purchase immigration program for investors in Portugal, and new applications for purchase immigration will no longer be accepted starting October 7. The two key elements of immigration are timing and choice! Those who seize the policy dividend have already realized their immigration dreams, while investors who have missed the opportunity should seize the moment and get on board. In fact, regardless of which country one is immigrating to, one should act as early as possible, as immigration is highly related to the policies of the respective country, and who can predict changes in a country's immigration laws? To obtain the desired identity, the only thing to do is to seize the present! Identity planning cannot afford to hesitate.
Recently, immigration plans in various European countries have undergone changes. For those intending to immigrate to Europe, Greece is a good choice. As one of the few projects in the immigration market that allows for quick acquisition of an EU country green card, the Greek property investment immigration program is very cost-effective among European countries. This project has relaxed application conditions, with no educational, language, management experience, or residency requirements, and allows the entire family across three generations to apply for a Greek permanent residence visa, while also enabling the family to travel freely across 27 Schengen countries, enjoying social welfare benefits such as education and healthcare in Greece, and after meeting the conditions, applying for an EU passport, while also acquiring property with permanent ownership, offering numerous advantages!
At the same time, Spain is also a good choice. Currently, investors can apply for Spanish residency through the Spanish property investment program by purchasing properties starting from 500,000 euros, allowing the entire family across three generations to apply for Spanish residency. The application conditions are simple, with no language, educational, or business background requirements; there are no residency requirements, and only one entry during the validity period is needed.
In addition, for investors wishing to immigrate to Europe, now is also a good time to apply for Malta immigration. Applicants only need to invest starting from 60,000 euros to immigrate to Malta for four generations, obtaining permanent residency in Malta in one step! This project has no requirements for language, education, business background, or source of funds, making the application conditions simpler, the process easier, and the investment amount lower!
