Europe, with its unique advantages in climate, environment, economy, culture, and education, has always been a land of aspiration for many. Europe is the most developed continent in terms of tourism and economic development, with the European Union as the main driving force for economic integration, comprising 27 member countries including Cyprus, Portugal, and Hungary. Holders of any Schengen member country ID or visa can move freely within all member states. The EU countries, which have always maintained a "very conservative" immigration policy, finally opened their doors in 2013, bringing new opportunities for immigration applicants.
The European Immigration Era has begun.
In the past, the doors to European investment immigration were largely closed, with the only option being the UK investment immigration, which remained unpopular due to high thresholds and immigration monitoring issues. Following the outbreak of the European debt crisis after the global financial crisis, the doors to EU investment immigration gradually opened. Some non-traditional European immigration countries began to amend their immigration laws and introduce new investment immigration policies to boost their domestic economies. However, due to strict residency requirements and other immigration thresholds, some EU countries that have introduced investment immigration policies have not fully opened their doors to non-EU countries.
From late 2011 to early 2012, Ireland and Latvia successively relaxed their immigration policies. In particular, Cyprus introduced a new policy allowing families to obtain EU permanent residency by investing in real estate worth €300,000. Subsequently, as 2012 came to a close, countries like Portugal and Hungary gradually eased their immigration thresholds, launching the most favorable immigration policies in history.
Investment immigration is an excellent way to quickly obtain EU status. Holding EU country status provides convenience for working, doing business, studying, and living in the EU and European Economic Area countries, as well as Switzerland, totaling 31 countries. To put it simply, 1=31, and children will have the freedom to develop across the entire EU and European Economic Area in the future. What was once unattainable for Chinese people in terms of European immigration is now within reach for many families in China.
In contrast, traditional immigration countries like Australia, New Zealand, and Canada are tightening their policies, making European investment immigration more prominent. The European investment immigration policies are relatively lenient, with shorter processing times and simpler residency requirements; EU countries have sound legal systems, stable societies, developed economies, high educational standards, and superior quality of life, which are the main reasons attracting most immigrant families.
Moreover, it is currently an excellent time to convert Renminbi assets into Euro assets and to buy European real estate at a low point. The prolonged European debt crisis has forced the European economy into a downturn, with the Euro fluctuating around the 8 Yuan mark; on one side, there are domestic purchase restrictions and high housing prices, while on the other, the European real estate market is at a low point. Seizing the current property purchase immigration policies in European countries makes property immigration to Europe the top choice for investors.
European countries are now gradually relaxing their immigration policies, signaling the start of the European immigration era. It is expected that the total number of European investment immigration applications in 2013 will rival that of the United States. Additionally, due to low risks, fast approval speeds, and the fact that property investment is the most familiar and favored investment method for Chinese people, European investment immigration will undoubtedly become a new hotspot in global immigration in 2013.
Bringing an international lifestyle into thousands of households.
As a leading institution in the immigration industry, WorldWay has pioneered many firsts over the past 16 years. In the field of Asian investment immigration, after successfully promoting the Singapore guaranteed fund project in China, WorldWay, in 2012, partnered with Hong Kong financial institutions to launch a capital-preserving investment project in the Hong Kong investment residency business, which received enthusiastic support from investors. In the field of U.S. investment immigration, WorldWay was the first to propose the "EB-5 enters the era of selected projects" and introduced the third-generation employment model widely used in U.S. investment immigration into China, continuously leading the development of the U.S. investment immigration industry. In the field of European investment immigration, WorldWay was the first to promote the Cyprus immigration project domestically in 2012, quickly standing out from traditional projects in Canada and Australia, becoming the most notable investment immigration project of 2012.
To ensure a new life for investors after immigration, WorldWay has extended its services from within China to Europe, establishing its own independent customer service system in Cyprus, releasing 20 detailed guidelines for settling services, earning the trust and recognition of clients. The customer service center established by WorldWay in Cyprus is the first and currently the only customer service center for Chinese immigrants in Europe. To ensure that investors can purchase satisfactory properties, WorldWay has established strategic partnerships with all top developers in the region, and its professional services have received unanimous praise from developers. To provide more favorable conditions and guarantees for investors' lives abroad, WorldWay has met with key figures from various government departments, including the President, Speaker, Minister of Finance, Minister of Transport, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, and mayors of the three major cities in Cyprus, proposing multiple suggestions and inviting the national legal advisor of Cyprus to serve as WorldWay's exclusive lawyer. WorldWay's related initiatives have received high recognition and full support from Cypriot officials.
Through relentless efforts, WorldWay clients have created a record of obtaining approval in as fast as 21 days under the new immigration policy of Cyprus 8.23. WorldWay has successfully expedited the processing of Cyprus immigration to within 2 months, and the property transfer fee exemption policy has been extended until the end of 2014. Additionally, WorldWay is actively promoting direct flights between China and Cyprus, striving to create the most favorable immigration environment for Chinese investors in Cyprus.
Building on the successful promotion of Cyprus property immigration in 2012, WorldWay has conducted thorough project research and on-site inspections, confirming the outstanding advantages of the Portugal property immigration project, also known as the Golden Residence Permit program. Starting from December 2012, WorldWay was the first to promote this project in China.
The two most attractive investment immigration projects in Europe in 2013 are the Cyprus property immigration and the Portugal Golden Residence Permit program. As a traditional Western European country, the Portugal investment immigration project, or Golden Residence Permit program, offers unique advantages such as visa-free access to 26 Schengen countries, equal treatment for work and study, the ability for children, spouses, and parents of both parties to apply together, and eligibility for citizenship and Portuguese passports after 6 years, which will attract significant attention from global investors. The Cyprus property immigration project, with its mature project operation and the absolute advantage of obtaining permanent residency without immigration monitoring, is bound to become the golden key to open the doors to Europe alongside the Portugal Golden Residence Permit program, making it a hot project in the immigration market in 2013.
In the 2013 European Immigration Year, WorldWay will provide the highest quality projects and the most comprehensive services to benefit a wide range of investors. To this end, WorldWay will increase its investment in human and financial resources, integrate internal and external advantageous resources, and establish independent customer service systems for various European immigration countries, providing seamless immigration services to meet the personalized needs of investors.
In 2013, WorldWay will conduct a series of European-themed study tours, nationwide roadshows, European real estate exhibitions, Sino-European cultural exchanges, and club interactive salons, covering various fields such as education, healthcare, entertainment, history, culture, and real estate investment in Europe, helping investors achieve reasonable asset allocation while obtaining EU status, experiencing Europe's diverse culture and educational concepts, and enjoying the quality of life in Europe.
If 2012 was the year for European investment immigration to test the waters in China, then 2013 will fully open the European investment immigration era; 2013 will be the best time for investors to enter Europe. As a responsible enterprise, WorldWay always prioritizes how to provide better services for clients, launching the concept of "2013 European Immigration Year" with a forward-looking global strategy, aiming to guide investors towards the best investment immigration direction, helping them seize the best opportunities for immigration to Europe, and promoting the concept of an international lifestyle to thousands of households.
