Hello, it is a pleasure for you: on October 9, 2012, Portugal officially launched the ** residence permit program, which has been very popular with investors from all over the world since its launch. %Sanjie @ Abroad *

It only came out in 2012, plagiarized Spain, and then Spain saw that Portugal would ask for 500,000 yuan, and the price also increased.

Landlord, please choose my answer, don't listen to the intermediary ** nonsense.

In fact, in the past few years, I have been mentioned to me by clients and peers that a Portuguese passport is very easy to obtain: you only need to have a Spanish** visa for 5 years, you only need to settle for 7 days each year, and you can apply for Portuguese nationality by passing the Portuguese A2 certificate exam.

In recent years, the Spanish ** visa has been favored by Chinese applicants, and since the release of the new program, 5,139 Chinese-style families have successfully applied for Portuguese immigration. In recent times, Spain has also been very popular with immigrants to the United States, and in June this year, 30 families in China and the United States were granted Spanish visas.

I firmly believe that in addition to the advantages of Spain's ** visa investment threshold is not too high, La Fan is at least 280,000 euros* (equivalent to more than RMB 1.89 million yuan**) and can travel visa-free to 26 Schengen countries in Europe after obtaining a Spanish ** visa, everyone has gradually learned that according to the Spanish ** visa, you can quickly apply for an EU passport! In addition, according to the European Union's National Audit Office, housing prices in Spain have soared by 70% in the past 12 years, far exceeding the 45% increase in EU countries as a whole.

The new crown epidemic has caused the rapid development of the Portuguese property sales market, the sales market is becoming more and more competitive, and the house** is also in a long-term continuous growth link.

If you have a Spanish visa for 5 years, live in Spain, and pass the Portuguese A2 test and other requirements*, you can apply for a Portuguese passport! As one of the EU countries, with a Portuguese passport, you can become a Chinese citizen of an EU country, and you can enjoy visa-free entry to 27 EU member states, and you can settle, study and work at will from this EU member state, with the same social security system as local Chinese citizens!

Spain, a well-known country in the United States, is not only a well-known place for vacationing and tourism, but also a friendly attitude towards foreign people, the non-unilateralism of social development itself, and the work program of some tax breaks, making Spain a "birthday cake" that attracts immigrants. In the latest "2022 Global Residency Program Index", the new Spanish Golden Residence Permit program has once again outperformed many similar immigration programs around the world, becoming the world's most popular investment immigration program.

Yes, because the Portuguese visa is supported by the law and can obtain an EU passport quickly and with a low threshold.

The reason why the Portugal** visa is popular with investors is that the investment threshold for the Portugal** visa is low due to the cautious concession. Most ordinary people are able to meet the conditions and qualifications of the wide-skinned Portugal** visa, which is why the Portugal** visa is so popular.

As one of Europe's leading tourist destinations, Portugal has a large number of visitors every year. According to statistics released by the Portuguese National Institute of Statistics, in 2019, before the epidemic, the number of tourists in Portugal reached 2,700, reaching the highest value in history, an increase over the same period, adding 100 million tourism development benefits to Portugal.

In Portugal's new gold policy, the biggest impact for Chinese investors is the reduction of the scope of real estate investment areas, and the renovation of residential real estate above 500,000 euros and 350,000 euros must be purchased in inland territories, Madeira and the Azores. However, there is no requirement for for-profit real estate, which means that it is possible to continue to buy profitable real estate in Lisbon or Porto, as long as you can prove that the real estate is eligible for business. In other words, if you choose to buy a house and immigrate, you must pay attention to whether it is settled real estate or profitable real estate.

According to the form of buying a house immigration to get a visa in Lisbon has certain limitations, ** investment becomes a trend of project investment in Lisbon. The Red Proposal comes a little later than the Portuguese Decree on Buying a House, to be gradually introduced in Decree No. 102, which came into force in November 2017. If you want to know the first item, you must first grasp whether the ** project investment has been controlled and filed by the Portuguese ** Market Commission (CMVM), and then the ** investment is supervised by the Central Bank of Portugal.

Excellent environment for daily life

In the assessment of the world's most livable countries, Portugal ranked first with an overall score of 100 points. It has received high scores in all categories, such as climate, social development, and low affordability of living expenses. As a big country in Europe that is suitable for living and tourism, Portugal can meet the requirements of its partners in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation project investment, and more and more people choose to go to Portugal due to various reasons such as vacation tourism, immigration investment, project investment, and studying abroad.

If you go to Portugal to give birth, you can live directly and permanently

In November 2020, Portugal and the United States signed a decree for the first time under the new "Nationality Law" to give parents who want to equip their children with real identities to have a formal real identity in Portugal for one year, and their children born in their local area can directly become Portuguese Chinese citizens, so in red grapes, they will also have more decision-making power. This is a great benefit for the "two treasures" or expectant parents or divorced families, and provides the most efficient way for children born in Portugal to live forever.

A large country that is more suitable for remote work

The new crown epidemic has affected everyone's work status, and remote work is a popular choice for many people. In the context of the pandemic, Portugal has been chosen as the world's largest country for remote work. At the same time, Portugal gives remote control work visas, the government and metallurgy are very stable, there are no malignant events, the weather is very good, and the English of the jujube source gas coverage rate is its advantage of immigration investment.

In addition to this, Portugal is politically stable and is a key jewel in the Belt and Road Initiative and its gateway to Europe. Whether it is in terms of children's education and future, or improving the quality of life, Portugal has great advantages in global wealth management.

It can make investment simpler, and then you can also predict some unknown factors, which can give people a sense of security, and you can go to other 26 Schengen countries without a visa If you travel to more than 180 EU countries, you can let Zhiqi have the security of a place to live.

In 2021, the policy has changed to change the visa issued for the first time with a validity period of 1 year to a direct 2-year visa, and the model is changed to 2 plus 2 plus 2, which is more convenient for Portugal to apply for the flexibility of renewal. Secondly, it is determined that the children born after 1 year of the non-European citizen holder with the Portuguese ** visa can be directly naturalized, so it can be said that the children born in Portugal are directly EU citizens and enjoy the welfare rights of 27 EU member states.

The latest Portugal investment immigration policy, changes in funding.

In Portugal, immigrants only need to invest €350,000, which is much less expensive than buying an immigration program of €500,000.

Although Portugal currently has a €350,000 immigration program for home purchases, the eligible properties are not very well located and in average condition and very old.

Therefore, for the same 350,000 euros, the advantage of ** immigration is even more obvious.

The latest Portugal investment immigration policy, changes on the application.

Although the process of buying a house and immigrating has been relatively simple, after all, it has to go through multiple processes such as the inspection, selection, real estate transfer, and title deed handling of the property, while the immigration saves a lot of trouble, and only needs to complete the purchase of the property, which is very convenient and the whole process is relatively short.

Hello! I'm Leo from Central Garda going abroad.

First of all, on 22 December 2020, the Portuguese Ministerial Conference discussed the topic of the amendment to the ** Residence Act.

The new bill will restrict** migrants' investment in real estate in Lisbon, Porto and the coastal areas of the country, introducing investment to the interior and the development of Madeira, the Azores and areas with low population density.

The purpose of implementing this policy is to promote foreign investment in areas with low population density. The policy changes will allow more overseas investment to be directed to inland regions and autonomous regions, creating more jobs and business activities in these areas.

The other thing is that it will come after the updateThe latest investment immigration policy that will be implemented from January 1, 2022As follows:

1. The deposit amount is raised to more than 1.5 million euros;

2. The amount of investment in scientific research is raised to more than 500,000 euros;

3. The purchase amount is raised to more than 500,000 euros;

4. The amount of the establishment of the company is raised to more than 500,000 euros;

Residential properties of more than 10,000 euros or renovated residential properties of more than 350,000 euros can only be purchased in the inland regions, Madeira and the Azores.

Finally, the current main form of Portuguese investment immigration is still 500,000 euros to buy a house and 350,000 euros to invest in Portugal**; Chinese applicants, who account for the largest proportion of applications, basically choose the above two investment methods.

Hope the above can help you. Thank you!
