On the morning of March 15, 2013, the first forum titled "International Lifestyle Begins with European Property Immigration" was grandly held at the 2013 Shanghai Property Expo. WorldWay Immigration, as the sole organizer of the European Pavilion and the host of this forum, invited important guests including Mr. José Tadeu Soares, the Ambassador of Portugal to China, Cypriot Member of Parliament Christakis Giovanis, representatives from the Portuguese Trade and Investment Agency, and representatives from Portugal's largest state-owned bank, CGP. The event received close attention and extensive coverage from over ten media organizations, including Shanghai Education Radio, the First Financial Daily, Global Times, Oriental Morning Post, Wen Hui Bao, and Xinwen Chen Bao.
Mr. José Tadeu Soares, the Ambassador of Portugal to China, wishes for the success of this event.
Mr. José Tadeu Soares, the Ambassador of Portugal to China, first congratulated the grand event of the European Pavilion at the Shanghai Property Expo and expressed gratitude to WorldWay Immigration for creating such a platform. He believes this is a good platform for cultural and investment exchanges between China and Portugal, which will help Chinese investors understand Portugal and enhance friendly exchanges between both parties.

Subsequently, the Portuguese Ambassador introduced the Golden Residence Permit Program, which was just announced at the end of last year, stating that it is the most open and attractive policy in recent years. He and Dr. Winner Xing jointly touched the crystal ball to announce the official landing of the Portuguese Golden Residence Permit Program in China.

The Ambassador personally handed over a "golden key" symbolizing the opening of the door to Portuguese immigration life to the President of WorldWay Immigration, hoping that WorldWay Immigration can assist Chinese investors in buying property, immigrating, and living in Portugal. He also invited Chinese friends to visit Portugal for tourism, inspection, or investment immigration activities.
The Portuguese Golden Residence Permit Program officially came into effect on October 8, 2012. The law stipulates that investors only need to purchase real estate worth no less than 500,000 euros to quickly obtain immigration status. As a traditional strong country in Europe, Portugal's investment immigration offers visa-free access to 26 Schengen countries, equal treatment for work and study, and essentially no "immigration supervision" requirements. The unique advantage of "one investment benefits three generations" has attracted significant attention from global investors. WorldWay Immigration was the first to promote this project domestically, immediately gaining popularity among Chinese investors and meeting the urgent demand of many investors seeking safe, convenient, rapid, and high-quality immigration projects.
WorldWay Immigration was the first to foresee the arrival of the European immigration era and, at the beginning of this year, announced "2013 as the Year of European Immigration," indicating that the Cyprus and Portugal projects will be the "golden keys" to opening the doors to Europe. This has now become a consensus within the industry in China. Currently, WorldWay Immigration has a 100% success rate in European projects, creating a record of obtaining permanent residency in Cyprus in just 21 days, and approval for Portugal took only three weeks.
