Portugal Fund Investment Immigration: A Simple Approach


When it comes to immigration, many families feel the costs are too high and are deterred. However, Portugal has opened a window for immigration dreams—EU Financial Investment Immigration, where you purchase EU financial bonds to obtain EU residency. With limited global issuance, WorldWay is the first to launch this. By purchasing bonds and preferred shares from banks and insurance companies, you can obtain stable returns while also securing a renewable Portuguese permanent residency that leads to an EU passport.



Why Are Immigrants Choosing Portugal? 5 Key Reasons Revealed





Easy Application for an EU Passport


After obtaining Portuguese Golden Residence status through the Portugal immigration program, you only need to reside in the country for an average of 14 days every two years. You can apply for citizenship after five years from the date of submitting your immigration application, which is equivalent to taking a vacation and does not interfere with your life or work in your home country. Regarding language, you only need to attend government-mandated Portuguese language courses and obtain a certificate. Furthermore, only one spouse needs to obtain the certificate, and minor children are exempt from this requirement.


Once you obtain a Portuguese passport, you can freely reside, work, live, and study in the 27 EU countries, as well as the four European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries—Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein—and enjoy local social benefits. This is "1=31," equivalent to holding a ticket to the world. It truly achieves global freedom of movement and carries high value.


Children Enjoy Quality Education


Portugal implements a 12-year compulsory education system and possesses high-quality educational resources, with libraries and museums everywhere. Many immigrant families choose Portugal for its educational atmosphere. Furthermore, according to the new Portuguese Nationality Law, children born in Portugal to parents who have held residency for at least one year can obtain Portuguese nationality. This means that children born to non-Portuguese immigrants after they have legally resided in Portugal for one year can benefit from the policy of easy birthright citizenship, obtaining a Portuguese passport, which is an EU passport. After obtaining citizenship, children can enjoy various benefits of Portuguese citizens and EU resources.


At the same time, holding a Portuguese Golden Residence Permit allows children to participate in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students (Huakiaosheng) if they meet the corresponding conditions, enabling them to easily enter prestigious universities like 985 and 211 institutions with lower scores and enjoy mainland higher education—truly killing two birds with one stone!


Suitable for Immigration and Retirement


The warmth and tolerance of the Portuguese people are renowned throughout Europe and the world! English proficiency in Portugal is relatively high for Europe, making it easier for Chinese people to integrate into local life, and Portuguese cuisine also suits the Chinese palate. Portugal is also one of the most suitable countries in the world for retirement. Known as the "Back Garden of Europe," it is a favored leisure and retirement destination for the new European elite. Portugal is suitable for settling down; it has abundant sunshine, pleasant temperatures all year round, and a good air environment.


Comprehensive Welfare Protection


As a long-established European immigration country, Portugal continues to provide its citizens with high-level welfare benefits: public healthcare, public education, and social security are the three main types of social welfare in Portugal. In addition to Portuguese nationals, legal residents of Portugal can also enjoy free medical services after immigrating to Portugal.


As a livable and tourist-friendly European country, Portugal's relaxed immigration policy is favored by countless applicants longing for an EU passport. Whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, tourism, or investment, Portugal can meet the needs of many, and more and more people are choosing to go to Portugal for various reasons such as tourism, immigration, investment, and study abroad.


Currently, it is a great time to immigrate to Portugal. We advise interested investors to seize the opportunity and apply early! The application requirements for the Portugal Fund Immigration Program are very simple, with no requirements for education or language. According to Portuguese law, non-EU citizens wishing to apply for a Portuguese Golden Visa must invest at least 500,000 Euros in company-capitalized investment funds or venture capital funds. The investment period is at least five years, and 60% of the investment in the fund portfolio must be invested in commercial companies headquartered in Portugal, driving the development of the Portuguese economy and employment.


As a Top 500 Asian Brand and a group that has focused on investment immigration for over 20 years, WorldWay Group was one of the early immigration agencies in China to promote the Portuguese Golden Residence Visa program in October 2012.
