Small country immigration is not suitable for everyone.

In the past two years, with the immigration policies tightened by mainstream countries such as Canada and Australia, many small-country immigration projects such as Cyprus and Latvia took the opportunity to enter China's immigration market, and even Pacific island countries came? A piece of the action? . Compared with the traditional big country project, the small country immigration project is relatively unfamiliar, and it is difficult for many applicants to judge its authenticity and safety for a while. What is the attraction of small country immigration program? What are the advantages compared with traditional big country projects? What problems should the applicant pay attention to in the process of handling the small country immigration project? The reporter from Overseas Migration Network interviewed several professional immigration agencies in the industry.

The purpose of handling small country projects is not only for immigrants.

Looking at the small country immigration projects in the market, there is generally no living requirement, only investment (buying a house, etc.). ) or deposit in China, or spend money locally, which has no influence on the applicant's life and career in China. Moreover, compared with the current situation that the traditional national immigration policy is tight, the small country immigration project has no backlog of application cases, and its approval speed is faster. Its low cost and flexibility are sought after by some business owners or senior white-collar workers and gold collars.

Take an immigration company in Shenzhen as an example. The Cyprus project currently launched by the company is a small country immigration project that attracts more attention in the market. Only applicants must be 18 years old, have no criminal record in China, and buy real estate worth more than 300,000 euros in Cyprus.

Huang Xiaojun, general manager of the company, said that in addition to the regular projects in the United States, Canada, China and Hong Kong, overseas Chinese have always had immigration projects in small countries such as Cyprus, Malta, Spain and Germany, and the diversification of projects is to meet the needs of different groups of people. However, the immigration policy of small countries is suitable for people with certain limitations, not everyone. For example, the Cyprus project in Europe is favored by business people who have business dealings with Europe or those who like to buy homes overseas. There are also some friends who like to travel to Europe. When the economic conditions are abundant, they will buy a house and go on vacation every year, because overseas real estate is generally a permanent property right, which can be passed down from generation to generation. It is both a kind of enjoyment and an investment.

It's hard to tell true from false?

Regular institutions should be chosen to handle it.

? What customers are most worried about in the process of handling is authenticity. Therefore, when we provide consultation for customers, we must relieve their worries. ? Liu Qingfeng, director of overseas operation of New Home, said.

It is understood that the company began to promote the Latvian residence permit project in September last year, and has now handled the Latvian residence permit business for nearly 20 people. The project requires an annual income of 6.5438+0.5 million yuan or more, and a residence permit of up to 5 years can be obtained by purchasing a property of 6.5438+0.3 million euros in the capital and major cities of Latvia or 65,000 euros in other areas. No English requirements, no residence requirements. With this residence permit, you can stay in any Schengen country. If you have lived in Latvia for four years within five years, you can obtain a permanent residence permit after five years.

Liu Qingfeng said that Latvia's residence permit project is a good channel to settle in Europe, and Latvia's real estate economy is recovering, and its investment prospects are also very promising. In order to reassure customers, the investigation and input costs in the process are all transparent, so that customers can know what they may have to pay; At the same time, customers have many choices, and they can choose not to buy after seeing the house.

Huang Xiaojun reminded that because applicants are often less familiar with small country immigration projects than traditional big country projects, they should choose experienced professional intermediaries to handle them. Generally speaking, before launching a project, formal institutions will conduct sufficient preliminary research, analyze the legal provisions of the project and study financial data, and then launch immigration projects if feasible. The applicant may ask the intermediary agency to provide relevant materials.

Frequent policy changes

Small country project applications need to be cautious.

The long-term development of immigration projects depends entirely on the country's immigration policy and the number of customer groups. Because the immigration policy of small country projects changes frequently, applicants must consider it carefully.

Huang Xiaojun said, in fact, at present, not only the immigration policies of big countries are constantly tightening, but also small countries are not selective and have limited quotas. Cyprus, for example, has a land area of only 925 1 km2 and a total population of about 838,900 (20 1. 1), so its policy of buying houses and entering households will not last forever. If the government authorities think that the number of people is saturated, they will immediately announce the cessation of immigration policy. In addition, although the approval speed of small country immigration projects is fast, due to the lack of experience in data processing, the requirements for application materials will change frequently, so the provision of application materials also needs the close cooperation of applicants.

Latvia project, according to the statistics of Latvian Immigration Bureau, as of August this year 14, 30 China people have obtained residence permits. Liu Qingfeng revealed that at present, the number of China people who have obtained residence permits in Latvia is estimated to be 66, and the growth rate of this number is expected to continue to accelerate.
