As a country with a reputation in Europe, Portugal is not only a well-known place to visit, but also ranked fourth in last year's Global Peace Index report, being named one of the most safe countries in the world. At the same time, Portugal is one of the oldest countries in Europe, with a rich history, active culture, unique cuisine, stunning beaches and idyllic countryside.
As a country to live and visit in Europe, Portugal's relaxed immigration policy favors applicants who aspire to AN passports. Whether it is food, clothing, housing, tourism or investment, Portugal can meet the needs of many people, and more and more people choose to go to Portugal for different reasons such as travel, immigration, investment, study abroad and so on.
Most of the top ten investment residency programs in the world in 2021 are European countries, and the Golden Visa Program in Europe has become a good choice in the context of the high immigration threshold of traditional immigration countries or the need to wait for schedules and quotas.
Recent project changes in many countries have also sounded the alarm for wait-and-see applicants, and in the future, European residency projects are likely to face a situation of increasing the amount, increasing the difficulty, and even directly shutting down, and it is recommended that applicants seize the opportunity to submit applications as soon as possible.
