March 2nd, as part of the Worldway 2013 European Immigration Year series, the Worldway Portugal Investment Immigration Seminar was grandly held at The Venice Hotel in Shenzhen. The venue was packed, and the overwhelming turnout far exceeded expectations.
Since the new Portuguese investment immigration law (Golden Residence Permit Program) came into effect on October 8, 2012, it has launched a property-based immigration project that has caused a sensation across Europe and attracted high attention from investors. Among EU countries, especially developed Western European nations, there has never been such an open investment immigration policy, providing non-EU investors with a convenient path to quickly obtain EU status. This was a key reason for the large number of attendees.
2013 marks the beginning of a new year, and Worldway Group has responded to the trend by announcing the launch of the "2013 Worldway European Immigration Year," opening a new chapter for the immigration industry to enter the "European Immigration Era." Property purchase projects in Cyprus and Portugal will serve as the "golden keys" to opening the doors to Europe. Building on the success of promoting the Cyprus property immigration project in 2012, Worldway conducted thorough research and field visits, identified the outstanding advantages of the Portugal property immigration project, and took the lead in promoting it in China.
As a traditional European power, Portugal's investment immigration program has attracted global attention due to its unique advantages: visa-free access to 26 Schengen countries, national treatment for work and study, and the ability for children, spouses, and parents of both spouses to accompany the applicant. Worldway's pioneering promotion of this project in China was immediately met with enthusiastic interest and popularity among Chinese investors, meeting the urgent demand of many investors for a safe, convenient, rapid, and high-value immigration project.
The Portugal Golden Residence Permit Program is even more aligned with the needs of Chinese investors than other projects because it allows not only the main applicant, spouse, and minor children to obtain residency, but also the parents of the main applicant and the spouse. This truly achieves "one investment, three generations benefit." Furthermore, the Portugal immigration project has very low residency requirements, virtually no immigration jail, and allows for citizenship applications after six years, granting the benefits of EU citizenship.
Such generous investment terms offer incomparable advantages among numerous immigration projects, sparking enthusiastic inquiries from many investors on the day of the seminar, with many families signing inspection agreements on the spot.
In this regard, Worldway experts specifically pointed out: Buying property is a way of diversifying asset allocation. In the context of a globalized economy, allocating all personal assets into RMB assets carries certain risks. The Golden Residence Permit Program provides Chinese investors with an excellent opportunity to allocate RMB assets into Euro assets and permanent real estate protected by EU law. Given that the Euro exchange rate and Portuguese property prices are currently at historical lows, this is an optimal time to invest in Portuguese real estate.
