Is it really that easy to buy a house and immigrate?

Sometimes, the house is not only a symbol of home, but also a way of immigration. However, the author reminds investment immigrants that buying a house just "looks beautiful". In fact, "right of abode" does not mean that "permanent right of abode" can get a green card. At present, only Cyprus has the privilege of buying a house and getting a green card. Be careful: buying a house to send a "green card" is not reliable. The "flower 1.6 million euros to buy a house in Spain can get permanent residence", which has received much attention before, turned out to be hype. Recently, the domestic media confirmed that at the beginning of this week, the Spanish government did say that it was considering granting the right of abode to foreign citizens outside the European Union who bought houses in Spain with a price of 6.5438+0.6 million euros, and this measure is expected to be approved within a few weeks. However, there are essential differences between "right of residence" and "right of permanent residence". "Permanent residency is permanent residency, and residency is short-term residency. Time has passed, and you need to re-submit your residence application. The application conditions include personal income, deposit and residence time in the country. If you fail to apply again, you may not be able to live in a room. " Huang Zhenghua, chairman of Foshan Youyi Immigration, told us, "There was a case in China where the owner of the house failed to apply for a temporary residence permit again and was forced to sell the property in a short time. A hasty transaction may lead to investment losses." "Not only that, permanent residency is often called getting a green card. With a green card, you can also enjoy benefits such as work, study and medical insurance. The ordinary right of abode does not have the above benefits, but only spends money to buy a commodity abroad. " Huang Zhenghua added. Reminder: Beware of the European housing migration trap. Mr. Liu, who is in the steel business, has always planned to emigrate with his family. This month, Mr. Liu received many short messages from investment immigration agencies: investing 500,000 euros in a property in Portugal can get the right of abode, buying a house in Italy 1 10,000 or more can quickly immigrate, and so on. Seeing that the threshold for investment immigration has been lowered a lot, Mr. Liu was delighted to inquire about it in many ways, but he was disappointed. It turns out that the fast track for immigrants to buy a house is only a mirage. At present, apart from Cyprus, no country has offered the preferential treatment of "permanent residence" in buying a house. Immigration market: it is unlikely to be loosened. Huang Zhenghua said that it is unlikely for European countries to buy a house and issue a green card. Malta, Singapore, Hong Kong and other countries and regions once hoped to implement the policy of buying a house and sending an account to revitalize the local economy. As a result, it was stopped because the house price was too high. Huang Zhenghua analyzed, "Spain and other European countries will not launch a big red envelope of' buying a house and sending a green card' in the future." "Even if there are concessions, we should be alert to the changing immigration policies of small and medium-sized countries." Huang Zhenghua added, "Compared with big countries such as the United States and Canada, the policies of small and medium-sized countries are not stable enough. You can go through the formalities of buying a house here, but you are not allowed to apply for a green card there, which will make people unprepared. "Tips: It seems that buying a house is not as easy as I thought. Recently, the policies of the United States and Canada are relatively stable, and immigration is relatively simple. Australia recently raised the threshold for investment immigration, and now few people are interested. In response to the new "A $5 million visa for major investors" policy, Wang Minxian said that only a few people can accept it because the investment threshold is too high.
