WHAT NEW TRENDS ARE YOU SEEING IN THE GLOBAL RCBI INDUSTRY ESPECIALLY WITH THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ?
Since the beginning of the pandemic , we have experienced an increase in new inquiries regarding residence in Portugal . What we thought would be a tragic year for the immigration industry turned out to be the year of growth for our department ; we hired more members and started to specialize in other residence schemes , such as the digital nomad visa . This visa , as opposed to the Golden Visa , is for those who desire to relocate permanently to Portugal . We have also noticed a significant increase in residence inquiries from U . S . citizens , something quite unexpected coming from one of the biggest nations of the world .
