Europe has always attracted the attention of the Chinese people with its high-quality education, high-level welfare, highly developed economy, and profound cultural heritage. Investors can obtain approval for investment immigration in as little as 2 months and enjoy generous welfare conditions. Greece, Portugal, and Cyprus have become the primary choices for Chinese investors seeking to immigrate to Europe.
Meanwhile, during the process of handling European immigration at WorldWay Immigration, it has been observed that some applicants, while initially attracted by the low thresholds of the immigration countries, are actually looking to use these countries as a springboard to access the markets of Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Currently, the Greek Second Home Project is the preferred option for applicants with such needs, as it not only requires a low investment amount but also offers a very high return rate.
In April of this year, Greece enacted an investment immigration law, stipulating that non-EU citizens can apply for a Greek residence permit visa by purchasing property worth €250,000 or more within Greece. The visa issued for the first time is valid for five years. After five years, as long as the ownership of the property is not sold, the residence permit visa held by the applicant and their dependents can be renewed. Due to Greece's high-quality living environment and unique property advantages, it is very suitable for Chinese investors' immigration life. Therefore, WorldWay Immigration was the first to introduce this project to the domestic market and positioned it as a Second Home. The concept of the "Greek Second Home Project" quickly gained traction in the immigration industry and attracted close attention from Chinese investors.
One of the benefits of immigrating to Europe is obtaining permanent residency in an EU country, which equates to obtaining permanent residency in the entire EU. By investing in property in Greece, one receives a permanent renewable residence visa. Since Greece is one of the 27 member states of the EU and also a Schengen country, this means that the residence permit visa issued by the Greek government allows free movement across the 26 Schengen countries without the need for a visa. It is worth mentioning that the Greek investment immigration policy does not impose any mandatory residence time on applicants.
Experts at WorldWay Immigration believe that Greece has already passed its most difficult period, and all industries are gradually recovering. Additionally, the exchange rate of the Euro against the Renminbi is at a historical low, and Greek property prices are also at a relatively historical low. Given the historical low of the Euro exchange rate and Greek real estate, this is the best time to enter the market from an investment perspective.
To this day, the significance of obtaining an EU country identity has transcended its original meaning; investment immigration to Europe grants a European green card and a passport to the world. With a low-cost investment of €250,000 and the outstanding advantage of no immigration supervision, investors can use their Greek identity as a springboard to enter the European market, freely travel in and out of 26 Schengen countries for business and tourism activities without a visa, and their children can easily enter various EU countries for further education, enjoying the same local treatment. The Greek investment immigration project is becoming the best choice for a low-cost springboard to Europe.
