What should investors pay attention to when they immigrate to Portugal?

Affected by the European debt crisis, Portugal, Cyprus, Latvia, Slovakia and other countries have successively introduced policies to encourage foreigners to purchase houses, and Spain, the Netherlands, Greece and other countries have also introduced policies to purchase houses. 20 13 witnessed the emergence of European upstart PK, an old immigrant country in the United States and Australia, with the characteristics of safe and secure self-purchased real estate, low investment threshold, quick approval, no need to prove the source of assets, relaxed residence requirements and enjoying the treatment of the European Union or Schengen countries.

Ms. Huang Xiaojun, the gold medal consultant of Overseas Chinese Group, believes that due to the influence of policies, the investment prospect of the domestic real estate market is uncertain at present, and many investors have begun to look overseas. However, due to geographical, cultural, legal and other aspects, investors often cause unnecessary disputes and troubles in the transaction process. Therefore, investors must understand the taxes and fees of the countries and regions where home buyers are located. Every country has different requirements for taxes and fees generated by buying a house, some of which are borne by developers and some by investors. Some countries are as high as 10%, while others are below 2%. Be sure to consult relevant institutions before buying real estate, preferably through a law firm. Second, buyers should be clear about their purpose of buying real estate, whether it is investment, self-occupation or investment immigration. The purpose is different, and the problems and emphases that need to be paid attention to when buying a house are different. If the real estate is mainly purchased by investment, investors will pay more attention to the local economic situation, the location of the real estate, and whether the developer or agent can provide preferential services, including a high proportion of loan services. The behavior of buying a house, which is mainly based on investment immigrants, is more about how to ensure that the purchased property meets the investment requirements of the local immigration bureau.

"From 2002 to 2007, Macao's housing settlement plan set off a wave of hard-to-find housing. As the most successful intermediary service organization in China, overseas Chinese clients once accounted for 40% of the total number of applications filed by the Macau Trade Promotion Council. After the introduction of the Portuguese golden immigration plan, we analyzed the policies in detail, including auditing institutions, laws and regulations, application procedures, application conditions, etc., and found that except for the different investment quotas, it was almost a replica of the original investment and settlement projects in Macao. " The European Project Department of Overseas Chinese Immigrants believes that the Portuguese project in this wave of European housing immigrants is "the best immigration project in 20 years".

In addition, in this European debt crisis, the Portuguese government responded quickly, cutting government spending, cutting civil servants and selling state-owned assets. All these policies have proved the determination and execution of the Portuguese government to improve the economy and get out of the crisis. Huang Xiaojun said, "Considering the relevant welfare benefits, educational resources and the current real estate price in Portugal, we believe that the Portuguese project has obvious advantages. This is another Macao, and the real estate will increase rapidly in a few years. It is recommended that investors with corresponding needs focus on it. "

It is reported that up to now, 1 applicants from China have been approved for the Portuguese Golden Immigration Scheme, and a large number of applications from China investors have been submitted. As the number of cases submitted at present is relatively small, most applications will be approved in the near future.
