There is a place that boasts "paradise beaches," has exhausted all the shades of blue in the world, features the most beautiful sunsets on Earth, and is the "land of freedom" described by Plato. With abundant sunshine throughout the four seasons, it is hailed as the "balcony of Europe." This place is Greece.
Benefits of Investment Immigration to Greece
1) Low investment threshold;
Applicants only need to purchase real estate in Greece worth 250,000 Euros. Compared to other European countries, 250,000 Euros offers a significant advantage.
2) One application, three generations immigrate; while one person acts as the primary applicant, the primary applicant's spouse, parents of both parties, and children under 21 can obtain a 5-year residence permit simultaneously with the primary applicant.
3) Naturalization after 6 years of schooling for children:
If your child attends school in Greece for 6 years and submits an application before the age of 18, they can be naturalized. This means that if the child starts studying in Greece by the age of 12 at the latest, they can become a citizen. Once naturalized, the child receives an EU passport, allowing them to attend schools across all EU countries, including the UK, under the same standards as EU students, with lower entry barriers, broader choices, and cheaper tuition fees.
4) No commercial background or proof of source of funds required; no requirements for education or language proficiency;
When applying for a residence permit, there is no background check on the applicant's source of funds, and there is no need to learn Greek; there are absolutely no language requirements.
5) Fast processing speed;
The Greek real estate investment immigration program is supported by the local government. After submitting all materials, the official processing time to obtain a Greek residence permit is 2 months.
6) No entry or residency requirements;
Except for one visit to Greece before the application, there are no entry or residency requirements after obtaining long-term Greek residency, making it one of the countries with the lowest residency requirements in all of Europe.
7) High rental occupancy rate and high rental yields;
Affected by the economic crisis, the Greek real estate market has bottomed out and showed signs of recovery in 2013. Tourism has always been one of Greece's pillar industries, leading to high demand for property rentals and stable returns, with annual rental yields of approximately 3% of the property value.
8) Free travel to 26 Schengen member states in Europe: Greece is a Schengen country, and holding a Greek residence permit allows for free travel across the 26 Schengen countries in Europe.
