Press release, PAIIR
Sara Sousa Rebolo and Vanessa Rodrigues Lima, Portuguese lawyers in the area of Immigration and Foreign Investment decided to found PAIIR – Portuguese Association of Immigration, Investment and Relocation in the middle of the pandemic caused by SARS-CoV-2.
The project started at the beginning of the year in a joint initiative and with the main purpose of valuing and promoting the areas of Immigration, Investment, Integration and Relocation in Portugal.
Having recently entered in the Investment Migration route, an industry with great expression in countries such as Canada, United States, United Kingdom and Australia, Portugal is today one of several European countries that has consolidated and very attractive immigration programs, which are based on investment activities in the national territory.
From PAIIR’s perspective, Portugal’s positioning in this area will be essential to overcome the global crisis that is approaching. The thousands of direct and indirect jobs that the investment migration industry generates, as well as its contribution to the development of various economic sectors and to the internationalization of the Portuguese companies is something that Portugal should not minimize.
Unlike other countries, in Portugal there was not yet an entity that formally promoted this area and that sought its valorization, as well as the aggregation of its professionals, in order to generate added value for the country and to disseminate internationally its potentialities in an objective and transparent way.
In this sense, with the constitution of PAIIR, this void is filled and the initiative is already generating great interest and curiosity among professionals in this sector, both national and foreign, who, becoming Associates of PAIIR, will be able to benefit from the initiatives and protocols that the Association is preparing, with the purpose of promoting training and networking in this area.
Soon PAIIR, with the collaboration of its Associates, with experience in the different perspectives of this area, will initiate an action to present suggestions and proposals for improving the current framework. Not all investment Migration are Gold Visas through real estate purchase, and this is a reality that PAIIR wants to demystify.
