Notes for Chinese applicants

NEW (launched Aug 2025 under Decree-Law 07/2025; first passports issued Jan 2026). Donation from $90k single (~$95k for a family of 4) to the National Transformation Fund + ~$5k fees. Fully remote — no residency, visit, or language test; fast (~1-2.5 months). Weak passport: value is a cheap, fast backup nationality. Enhanced due diligence advised on such a new program.
