January 19th, Worldway Shanghai successfully held a Portugal investment immigration seminar, which attracted numerous guests and featured a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere. This was the first seminar held in Shanghai by Dr. Xing, President of Worldway Immigration, following his return from leading a senior group delegation on a field inspection in Portugal. Ms. Linda, General Manager of the Shanghai office, provided a detailed explanation of Portugal's immigration policy, presented the latest information from the inspection, and shared her authentic experiences in Portugal.
At the seminar, Linda first gave a keynote speech on Portugal investment immigration. Portugal is a traditional European power and the motherland of all Portuguese-speaking countries. Portugal is not a traditional immigration country, and previously had no relevant policies to attract immigrants. On August 9, 2012, Portugal passed a new immigration law, which officially took effect on October 8. This act allows for the rapid acquisition of Portuguese status through statutory investment. Once the decree was issued, it caused a sensation throughout Europe and attracted high attention from global investors. As there had never been such an open investment immigration policy among EU countries, especially in Western Europe, this immigration act was named the "Golden Residence Permit Program."
Based on Worldway's 16 years of experience in investment immigration and after comprehensive investigation and assessment, it is clear that investors who purchase properties worth 500,000 Euros or more can obtain the following through the Portugal investment immigration program:
1、Visa-free access to 26 Schengen countries, a 10-year multiple-entry visa for the United States, and 5-year multiple-entry visas for the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia;
2、Children, spouses, and parents of both spouses can accompany the applicant, truly allowing one person to invest and benefit three generations;
3、The simplest application conditions among Western European countries, with no requirements for language, education, or scoring, and no requirements for business background, age limits, or proof of source of funds;
4、Enjoy national welfare benefits for both work and study;
5、After holding the Golden Residence Permit for 6 years, one can apply for naturalization and obtain a Portuguese passport.
In addition, Linda shared her insights and experiences from her inspection trip to Portugal with the guests. Portugal has a pleasant climate and is the best leisure and vacation destination in Europe, with an average temperature of 8°C in January and February, and 26°C in July and August. Portugal is a member of the EU and Schengen Area, NATO, and the WorldWay Organization, and is also a founding member of the Eurozone. Portuguese is the official language, but it is also the country with the most widespread use of English among non-English speaking countries.
Following Linda's brilliant speech, the guests expressed strong interest and confidence in Portuguese property investment immigration. After the meeting, many guests engaged in in-depth one-on-one exchanges and discussions with Worldway experts and expressed their hope to join an inspection tour to Portugal as soon as possible to conduct on-site inspections and confirm their property investment projects.
