According to a report by the European Times, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) has called for all EU countries to abolish their 'Golden Visa' programs.
The European Economic and Social Committee recently pointed out that programs such as 'Golden Visas' pose serious risks and open doors for illicit actors; therefore, all EU member states should repeal these policies.
In fact, as early as March of this year, a special committee of the European Parliament passed a proposal to abolish 'Golden Visas,' calling on EU member states to phase out all 'Golden Visa' programs that do not meet EU legal requirements, including EU permanent residency and EU citizenship-by-investment programs.
Simply put, a 'Golden Visa' is a convenient pathway for foreign nationals to quickly obtain European status. By investing through various methods such as purchasing real estate, buying government bonds, or investing in businesses, investors can apply for residency visas in certain European countries, granting them the right to live in these countries and enjoy superior benefits.
Currently, 12 EU member states have opened 'Golden Visa' policies, including Greece, Cyprus, Portugal, Spain, Malta, Austria, Belgium, Latvia, Lithuania, Monaco, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Among them, the policies in Cyprus and Malta include not only permanent residency but also direct pathways to citizenship.
As the EU and the European Parliament continue to call for the abolition of 'Golden Visa' programs, obtaining such visas may become increasingly difficult in the future. As the saying goes: invest early, and cherish your opportunity to immigrate to Europe!
