identity planning moves from "whether or not" to "how to choose" - The 2026 Shanghai Overseas Property Immigration Study Abroad Exhibition opens on November 20

Identity planning is no longer an exclusive topic for high net worth individuals. Behind daily concerns such as children's education, tax arrangements, elderly care and healthcare, and global travel convenience, they often point to the same issue: overseas identity. From November 20th to 22nd, 2026, the 32nd QSE (Shanghai) Overseas Property Immigration Study Abroad Exhibition will be held at the Shanghai World Trade Exhibition Center, with immigration being one of its core sections.

1、 The demand for immigration is becoming increasingly diverse

In the past, when it comes to immigration, many people first thought of 'moving with their family'. Today's demand structure has undergone significant changes: some families have pre configured their children's study abroad status, some companies require residency arrangements for their overseas business, some families are considering retirement and healthcare, and some hope to increase the flexibility of travel and tax arrangements through identity planning. Different needs lead to completely different suitable projects, making it difficult to apply the mindset of 'one project wins the world'.

As a result, more and more families are choosing to first clarify their 'purpose' and then backtrack on their 'path': whether it is for educational integration, residential transportation, or asset and tax arrangements. After clarifying the purpose, comparing the project thresholds and conditions of different countries can make decisions more calmly.

2、 How to view popular projects

According to public market data from the past two years, the European Golden Residency Program, Caribbean Identity Program, and some countries' home purchase and citizenship programs have received more attention. Taking Greece as an example, public data shows that Chinese applicants account for a higher proportion of their golden visa applications; Türkiye, Malta, Portugal, Greece and other places have their own characteristics. Some focus on residence and transportation, some emphasize the connection of education, and some are related to property purchase.

It should be noted that immigration policies in various countries may be adjusted every year, with changes in quotas, investment thresholds, residency requirements, and funding source review criteria. When making a choice, it is recommended to consider the real needs of the family, consult licensed institutions, and check the application requirements and time nodes one by one. Do not easily believe verbal promises, and not only focus on a single project in a single country.

The needs and paths of different families often vary: families whose main purpose is to educate their children tend to pay more attention to educational continuity, identity, and student status arrangements; Families that prioritize living and transportation will place greater emphasis on living requirements, convenient transportation, and cost of living; Families that prioritize assets and tax arrangements are more concerned with reviewing funding sources, tax environment, and long-term compliance. Placing family needs in a certain category and comparing projects will make decision-making more focused and make it easier to find a truly matching solution.

3、 What can the immigration section of the exhibition bring

-One time exposure to multi country projects: Multi country immigration agencies and project parties participate in centralized exhibitions, facilitating horizontal comparison of thresholds, cycles, and costs.

-Face to face verification of policy caliber: Communicate face-to-face with immigration agencies to verify application requirements, funding source requirements, and time nodes item by item.

-One stop docking for family needs: immigration and study abroad, real estate, and finance sections are held simultaneously, which can coordinate education, housing, and asset arrangements.

-Centralized screening by professional institutions: Among the approximately 8000 visitors in three days, there are a large number of high net worth families with identity planning needs, which is an opportunity for participating institutions to accurately reach the customer base.

It is recommended that viewers with planning intentions prepare a list of family needs and preliminary questions in advance, consult each household on site according to the idea of 'purpose project cycle cost', compare the perspectives of multiple projects together, and then review their own needs to make a decision.

For immigration agencies participating in the exhibition, the value of on-site communication lies in breaking down complex policies and explaining family needs: first understanding the true purpose and constraints of the family, and then recommending projects that match them, rather than using templates. The three-day exhibition gathers a large number of high net worth families, serving as a window to establish trust and attract high intention customers. It is recommended that institutions sort out the latest policy guidelines and typical cases in advance, and prepare differentiated communication points for different families.
