As the European debt crisis continues to unfold, European countries have taken various measures to attract overseas investment immigration. Many astute Chinese investors are applying for European investment immigration, hoping to capitalize on the unique context of the European debt crisis to purchase property at the bottom of the market, thereby achieving the dual benefits of overseas real estate investment and their children's education. Purchasing European property at low prices during a crisis may allow for the recovery of investment costs as the economy recovers.
As traditional immigration countries tighten their policies, some applicants are turning their attention to emerging European immigration countries that offer residency status through simple property purchases. These countries have relatively favorable immigration policies, and with the continued depreciation of the Euro in recent years, European investment immigration has entered its most cost-effective period.
Taking the Spain investment immigration program as an example, one only needs to purchase property worth 500,000 Euros to obtain a residency visa for the whole family in Spain, allowing for travel throughout the Schengen Area and EU member states, and enjoying European education and employment opportunities. The Greece investment immigration program requires investors to purchase local property worth 250,000 Euros or more; it requires no commercial background or proof of source of funds, and allows free travel across 26 Schengen countries. The Portugal investment immigration program requires a 500,000 Euro investment in local property, features fast processing, and has almost no residency requirements. Meanwhile, the Cyprus investment immigration program is also an excellent and popular way to obtain a passport and visa, with flexible application conditions, a short processing cycle, and the ability to obtain permanent residency in one step, prompting many Chinese citizens to take action in hopes of greater returns.
However, some investment immigration applicants are questioning: in recent years, European economic development has plummeted into the vortex of the debt crisis, with news of financial market turmoil and economic recession appearing frequently. Immigration investors are beginning to hesitate, wondering if it is risky to apply for European investment immigration at this time and whether immigrating to Europe is truly appropriate.
As a pioneer in European property investment immigration, Worldway believes that the environment of the European debt crisis has created a great opportunity for immigration to Europe. Many successful business people believe in the principle that a crisis is also an opportunity, as things are often interconnected. Looking back at history, it is not difficult to find supporting cases. During the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, panic similar to the current European debt crisis was spreading everywhere; however, many insightful investors immigrated to the United States amidst the skepticism. In addition to the lower cost of immigration due to the weak U.S. dollar and shortened application cycles, the biggest benefit was buying good properties at lower prices and selling them at higher prices when the economy recovered. In this way, the cost of immigration was recouped.
Worldway immigration experts point out that there have been recent signs of economic recovery in European countries. For example, Standard & Poor's upgraded the credit rating outlook for Spain from "negative" to "stable," and it is expected that Portugal's economy will return to growth in 2014, with an increase of about 0.4%. All these signs indicate that the best time has arrived to buy property at the bottom of the market, immigrate to Europe, turn crisis into opportunity, and reap the rewards of an economic turnaround!
