What about Portuguese immigrants?

First, the advantages of Portuguese immigrant housing inventory

1 tourism

After winning the World Tourism Award "Best Tourism Destination in Europe" in September 20 17, Portugal once again beat Brazil, Maldives, the United States, Morocco, Vietnam, Spain, Greece and other countries to become the "Best Tourism Destination in the World", which is called "Oscar of Tourism". As a truly innovative country, Portugal has many real tourism experiences and beautiful natural landscapes, and is also a hospitable country. Its history, tradition, sunshine, nature and delicious food not only attract tourists to visit here, but also become one of the main immigrant countries for investors to buy houses. Tourism is also an important industry to promote the economic development of Portugal. As a world-famous European tourist country, tourists buy or rent houses in Portugal every year. Tourism brings great demand, and the return on investment of buyers is 3%-5%. Famous Portuguese tourist destinations include Algavi, Lisbon, Madeira Islands, Faroe and Porto.

2. Open direct flights

On July 25th, Capital Airlines flight JD459 "Hangzhou-Beijing-Lisbon", full of passengers, set sail smoothly with many concerns and expectations from China and Portugal, and took off from Beijing Capital Airport in the early morning of July 26th. After a flight of 13 hours, you can reach Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. The opening of this route marks that China and Portugal have finally ended the history of transit from a third country and entered a new stage of direct flights. Portuguese immigrants who buy houses can enjoy the comfort and convenience of direct flights between China and Portugal.

3. Real estate industry

Grape consulting company estimates that Portuguese commercial real estate investment reached a record high in 20 17, which was 50% higher than that in 20 16. In addition, the residential sector continues to rise, especially the hardcover residential sector. In addition, in 20 17, the residential, office, retail and hotel markets all maintained strong growth. 20 17 can be said to be the best year in Portugal, with an average annual growth rate almost doubling. In addition, the combination of Portugal's high debt rating and positive economic situation has promoted the economic growth, international credit, financing and investment of Portuguese housing immigrants.

4. Schengen EU

Portugal advocates developing friendly and cooperative relations with all countries in the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, focusing on safeguarding the three diplomatic pillars of the European Union, transatlantic relations and Portuguese-speaking countries. Portugal is a member of the European Union, a founding member of the Euro, a member of the United Nations, NATO, the World Trade Organization and other international organizations, and one of the Schengen countries. Buying a house to immigrate to Portugal can not only obtain permanent residency in Portugal, but also freely enter and leave 25 Schengen countries, including Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

5. Perfect welfare

Europe is the birthplace of the welfare state. Since the last century, western countries have continuously improved their welfare and security systems so that everyone can enjoy free public medical care and free compulsory education. As an old capitalist empire in Europe, Portugal is not willing to lag behind and continues to provide high-level welfare benefits for its citizens. Free medical care, free education and social security are the three major social welfare in Portugal. In addition to Portuguese nationals, Portuguese legal residents can also enjoy free medical services and educational resources after buying a house and immigrating to Portugal.

6. Simple conditions

Buying a house in Portugal is actually part of Portugal's gold residence immigration project. After immigrating to Portugal, you can not only live and work in Portugal, but also get considerable income by buying real estate. Portugal's housing immigration policy is relatively loose, and it is recognized as a cost-effective immigration project. Applicants only need to buy properties that meet the requirements of investment immigration (the types and quantity of properties are not limited): properties equivalent to or higher than 500,000 euros; Or a property with the same value or more than 350,000 euros, with a room age of more than 30 years or located in an urban renewal area, can obtain immigration status.

Second, the shortcomings of the Portuguese immigrant housing list

1. Language barrier

Portugal is a non-English speaking country, and Portuguese people speak Portuguese. If Portuguese immigrants can't speak Portuguese locally, they will encounter some communication difficulties in their local life. In addition, if Portuguese immigrants want to become Portuguese citizens, they must take the Portuguese exam and reach A2 level. Therefore, whether you want to integrate into the life of Portuguese immigrants or naturalize as soon as possible, you must learn some Portuguese.

2. The examination and approval efficiency is low

Since 20 12, the Portuguese government issued the gold residence permit project, Portuguese house-buying immigrants have been favored by overseas investors, which quickly set off a wave of Portuguese house-buying immigrants. However, with the increasing number of applicants year by year, more and more problems have been exposed by the Portuguese Immigration Bureau, and the slow approval of the gold residence permit has been widely criticized. Although the Portuguese Immigration Bureau has made internal adjustments to ease the pressure, in the face of the hot application of Portuguese immigrants to buy a house, the Immigration Bureau still appears to be understaffed, resulting in low efficiency and slow approval.
