What are the advantages of choosing Portugal immigration?

Portugal has a lower immigration threshold than other European countries, but enjoys similar treatment; European immigrants used to be more difficult, because their immigration policies were very strict, and now because of the economic crisis, European countries will relax their policies, which is also a good time for immigration, and it will be difficult to miss the estimate; As for the specific advantages? There are still a lot of advantages, I will briefly list a few: the risk is relatively low, the application is very fast, and it is said that it can be approved in 24 hours at the earliest.

When promoting this project, overseas Chinese immigrants said that it was comparable to the Macao immigrants of the past, and the group of immigrants who immigrated to Macao back then are now making a lot of money. In addition, after obtaining permanent residence status, you can also enter and exit the Schengen countries freely, and after naturalization, you can pass through 180 countries and regions without a visa

Looking at Portugal's immigration policy of buying a house, the biggest attraction is that investors can obtain permanent residence status after 5 years by buying a property of 500,000 euros at one time, and the property is not linked to status, and the property can be sold after 5 years, which is quite high. Buying a house and applying for immigration obviously caters to the "home buying complex" of Chinese.

Generous social welfare:

Those who are interested in immigrating tend to value the quality of education and related benefits in their destination countries, and Portugal, as an established European powerhouse, has a robust welfare and social security system, free medical care and education. In view of the fact that Portugal is an EU country and a Schengen country, obtaining Portuguese immigration status can not only enjoy Portugal's welfare, education and other resources, but also enjoy EU visa exemption, and 26 Schengen countries can pass through at will.

No immigration supervision: Portugal is a country without immigration supervision, and in order to obtain a residence permit, you only need to live for 7 days in the first year, and then 14 days every two years, which allows the wealthy Chinese to "immigrate without immigration" to manage their domestic business freely and travel freely in the Schengen area at the same time.

Lightning trial: Unlike the United States and Canada, which have long processing times, Portugal's "** residence" visa can be approved in 3 months, which is eye-catching.

The national atmosphere is pro-China:

It is worth mentioning that Portugal is one of the few pro-Chinese European countries and one of the few countries that can immigrate with parents. Portugal allows applicants to bring their spouse, minor children, dependent parents, and spouse-in-law. "One immigration, benefiting three generations" is the key to the success of the Portuguese immigration program in the immigration market.

1.Comfortable climate.

I believe that many families who did not immigrate to Portugal thought that the country was very hot and hot, but in fact this is not the case. Portugal is located in southern Europe, with a low latitude, a warm and pleasant climate with the adjustment of the sea. In Portugal, the annual sunshine is very abundant and pleasant.

Don't worry about rainy and snowy weather, every day will give you a sunny mood.

2.Good value for money for the house.

In terms of house prices, the overall housing prices in Portugal are not very expensive, relatively speaking, only Lisbon and Porto are slightly more expensive, of which the housing prices in Porto are about the same as those in the second and third tier cities in China, and the rest of the places are even cheaper than the fourth and fifth tier cities in China! Moreover, the environment and greenery around the house are very good, the air is fresh, and it is a globally recognized retirement resort. Such a good Portuguese immigration policy for buying a house only requires applicants to spend 350,000 euros to buy a house.

3.Low cost of living.

Due to its location in the Mediterranean climate, Portugal is the main producer of high-quality fruits, and the cheap fruits will definitely make you doubt your life, especially the sweet strawberries and huge cherries, which are not only delicious, but also surprisingly cheap, and staple foods such as bread and milk that Europeans have eaten for a long time are generally around 1 euro kilogram, and fruits and vegetables are even cheaper.

Not only that, but with the arrival of domestic investors and immigrants, delicious Chinese food has also appeared in many shopping malls in Portugal. In Lisbon's Chinese community, there are plenty of Chinese restaurants to satisfy your cravings. In addition, there are a variety of authentic Portuguese food desserts waiting for you!

Good value for money and definitely good price.

4.The pace of life is slow.

If you like a slower-paced relaxed and comfortable life, then you must choose Portugal, which is now a country with faster and faster social and economic development, and has more advantages in terms of living and working security. The Portuguese are very focused on leisure and entertainment life, afternoon tea parties can be found everywhere, and the nightlife is also quite rich, and drinking wine in Portugal is even more important than eating. So living here will make you have a more relaxed and happy experience, and you don't have to worry about stressful life.

The main advantage is that the application requirements are relatively low, and it is easier to apply.

The advantages and disadvantages of immigration to Portugal are as follows:

Pros:

Portugal is an oasis for expats seeking sunshine, warmth and a mild climate. The climate in Portugal will vary depending on where you settle down. The further south you go, the warmer the weather becomes.

While it can be cold in the north, especially in winter, in general, you'll find mild winters in Portugal and sunny and warm summers.

And Portugal is one of the most affordable countries in Western Europe. Especially for expats and digital nomads, Portugal offers quality real estate, restaurants, groceries and town goods at affordable prices.

Cons:

Most people in the Portuguese** sector are mainly only Portuguese speakers and are not familiar with English, which can make the job somewhat difficult without the company of someone who can speak Portuguese. Even in 2022, some places in Portugal still do not use bank cards for payments.

Things to note for Portugal immigration:

1. Translate the necessary documents

Any documents in English (such as healthcare documents and background checks) must be translated into Portuguese and certified when submitting the application. Translation and certification can be done domestically or in Portugal.

2. Address

When opening a bank account in Portugal, people may be asked to provide proof of address such as a delay in land delivery to customs**, a receipt for the delivery of a SIM card, a utility bill or a lease contract. While many Portuguese banks allow people to apply using the details of their national address, it is easier to open an account if the applicant is able to show a Portuguese address.

Portugal has relaxed immigration conditions for buying a house, no language requirements, no academic requirements, no scoring requirements, no business background requirements, no age restrictions, no capital ** requirements, simple application materials, and the application can be completed in two months. This is the easiest way for the whole family to obtain a citizen passport among the 27 countries of the European Union and all developed countries in the world.

For investors who want to apply for naturalization in EU countries, they usually need to have lived in the country as a permanent resident for at least 5, 10 or even more years before they are eligible to apply for naturalization. However, Portugal's conditions from home purchase to naturalization are 7 days per year, a total of 42 days, which is by far the lowest residency requirement of any EU member state, and does not affect the domestic business of investors in the slightest.

Wanlian immigration experts said that compared to Cyprus, which is only an EU country and not a Schengen country, Portugal is both an EU country and a Schengen country. Applicants can travel to 27 Schengen countries, and with a Portuguese passport, they can enjoy visa-free or visa-on-arrival to more than 160 countries around the world, second only to Denmark, and become a veritable global citizen.
