Recently, Greek government spokesperson Petsas reiterated at a press conference that the government is formulating a plan to restore normal operations across society. Petsas also clearly stated that the process of gradually transitioning society back to normal will begin with the judicial sector, and some service sectors will start operations from April 27. Currently, the Greek government and health authorities are considering relaxing strict lockdown measures aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 starting in mid-May, with a smooth transition to pre-pandemic normalcy expected by the end of June.
Petsas pointed out that, based on expert recommendations, the first groups to be released from restrictions will be those at lower risk of infection and with smaller economic activities. For example, small retail stores or schools. However, he emphasized that while restrictions are being lifted, attention must still be paid to the protection of vulnerable groups such as the elderly and those with chronic illnesses.
The Greek Immigration Bureau is expected to reopen to the public on May 18
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, Greece announced the temporary closure of the Immigration Bureau to the public as early as early March, but internal operations did not completely cease. It is expected to reopen to the public on May 18 (Monday).
Greece is regarded as the "Model Student" of Epidemic Prevention in Europe
Greece has one of the lower infection and mortality rates during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe, with many experts attributing this to the early implementation of isolation and lockdown measures. When the pandemic broke out, Greece took swift action on multiple fronts.
In response to the pandemic, the Greek government has implemented rent subsidy policies for eligible individuals, businesses, and entrepreneurs. Individuals who have lost their jobs due to the pandemic, as well as companies or entrepreneurs facing financial difficulties due to the pandemic, can receive a 40% rent subsidy from the government. The subsidy will be offset through tax reduction policies.
Greece's property investment immigration process may be simplified
Previously, the Deputy Minister of Finance, Skarakis, stated at a conference held by the Greek real estate industry that the government hopes to seek a "special agreement" to expedite the review of applications from overseas individuals investing in the Greek real estate market. He also stated, "The government is planning to undertake all necessary activities, services, and businesses to attract more overseas buyers to invest in Greece." This includes favorable policies such as providing visas for potential investors planning to visit Greece to inspect properties.
It is reported that the Greek Immigration Bureau may accelerate the approval process and simplify the application process. Specifically, clients can sign a power of attorney for a lawyer to submit immigration applications, receive a blue paper (temporary residence card), and even submit applications for permanent residence cards without needing to enter Greece. Once the immigration application is approved, clients can enter to provide fingerprints, after which the Immigration Bureau will issue the card. This is a significant advantage for investors.
During the pandemic, property prices continue to rise
According to the latest real estate market data report released by the online classified real estate platform Spitogatos, the annualized growth rate of property prices in Greece from January to March 2020 was 6%. Although the pandemic has affected the rapid rise of property prices in Greece, it appears that property prices are still on the rise.
For investors looking to obtain Greek citizenship quickly, now is an optimal time to select properties, purchase real estate, and initiate projects.
