Visas Consulting Group immigration experts analyze that 2015 will be a crucial time for overseas investment. After experiencing the impacts of previous economic recessions and subprime mortgage crises, investing in economies like the United States and Europe, which are in the early stages of recovery, can bring investors substantial returns. Especially with a strong US dollar and a low euro exchange rate, it is an excellent time to invest in US and European real estate and achieve immigration. Therefore, 2015 is an optimal time for Chinese individuals to engage in overseas investment immigration and achieve both fame and fortune. Consequently, Visas Consulting Group has officially designated 2015 as the "Year of Overseas Investment" for high-net-worth individuals.
There are three main drivers for high-net-worth individuals to engage in overseas investment:
First, with the increase in information exchange between domestic and international markets, Chinese high-net-worth individuals are gradually gaining a better understanding of overseas investment markets. Attracted by the diversified investment products and regions in these markets, they hope to capture more investment opportunities abroad.
Second, due to the ebb and flow relationship between the economies and major investment markets of different regions in the world, some high-net-worth individuals hope to achieve the goal of diversifying and hedging risks through cross-regional asset allocation.
Third, due to the needs of their children's education abroad and immigration life, some high-net-worth individuals will spend part of their time living abroad in the future, making the increase of overseas asset allocation an inevitable requirement.
Many Chinese investors' actions of investing in overseas real estate and obtaining green cards through the US EB-5 investment project can also be seen as a form of "consumption" aimed at obtaining immigration status and demonstrating personal achievement and social value.
Visas Consulting Group immigration experts analyze: Most people immigrating to the United States, Europe, the Commonwealth, etc., value not only the superior living environment but also the "soft environment" of Europe and the United States, such as the emphasis on self-value realization, social inclusiveness, international capital investment and wealth management strategies, advanced education and medical resources, and social welfare, such as the US social security system.
Currently, investment immigration policies in Europe and the United States are in a mature stage. The US EB-5 investment immigration program is highly popular due to its simple application requirements and short cycles. One person applies, and the whole family immigrates. After obtaining a green card, one can freely enter and exit the United States, live and work in any region of the United States, and there is no "immigration jail" (residency requirement), which has been highly sought after by investors. In 2014, the quota was even exhausted. Furthermore, in 2015, it is highly likely that a visa backlog will occur. Meanwhile, purchasing real estate in Europe, a form of investment familiar to Chinese people, is also a fast and safe investment behavior. In addition, Commonwealth passport programs are also among the popular investment immigration projects in 2015. Therefore, investing in EB-5 projects to obtain a US green card, as well as purchasing European real estate and Commonwealth properties to obtain permanent status, are currently the most popular "investment" immigration projects for Chinese people.
As a premier global agency for US EB-5 immigration and a pioneer in European real estate immigration services, Visas Consulting Group has, over the past 18 years, adhered to the philosophy of "service first, integrity-based operations," carefully selecting projects and providing professional services to clients, with successful cases spanning the globe.

During the "2014 Visas Consulting Group Service Year," the company relocated its Portugal office to a nearly 400-square-meter independent office in the center of Lisbon to better provide personalized services to clients abroad.
