As we know, European countries are renowned for their generous social welfare, comfortable living environments, and high-quality education. Among them, Greece is highly favored by investors. The Greece Golden Visa program has long been popular among investors due to its relatively low investment threshold, straightforward application process, and the benefit of obtaining European residency. So, who is the Greece Golden Visa program suitable for?
Those looking for overseas asset allocation
According to data, as of July 1, 2023, there were 5,822 main applicants and 11,430 dependent applicants, totaling 17,252 people, in the first half of 2023 for the Greek Golden Visa. As of June 30, a total of 35,749 Greek Golden Visas had been issued. Among the current holders of valid Greek Golden Visas, 61% are Chinese! It is evident that Greece remains a popular destination for global investors seeking overseas property and asset allocation. Through the Greek permanent residency program, investors can not only obtain permanent residency in one go but also acquire property, achieving significant gains in asset allocation.
Those who want their children to receive an international education
The Greek education system is very similar to that of China, divided into three stages: primary, secondary, and higher education. Greece has a highly developed public education system with an excellent international education framework, allowing children to enter most universities worldwide without entrance exams and receive an elite education.
At the same time, children with overseas status can participate in the Joint Entrance Exam for Overseas Chinese Students, making it easier to gain admission to top-tier universities such as 985 and 211 institutions, and enjoy mainland higher education!
Those who want to immigrate with three generations of their family
According to Greek immigration law, one application allows for three generations to immigrate. There is no need to experience separation from family; you can enjoy family life to the fullest and share all the conveniences brought by Greek status with your entire family.
Those looking for an immigration destination without residency requirements
The Greek immigration program has no residency requirements, allowing you to obtain Greek permanent residency directly. Applicants whose focus of life is in their home country and who are busy with affairs do not need to worry about issues like property leasing. Applicants only need to secure their Greek permanent residency and go to Greece for a vacation in their spare time.
Those looking for an ideal place to settle
The air quality in Greece is excellent, with an annual average PM2.5 index of approximately 13-30, far below the superior standard of 50. The climate is warm with plenty of sunshine. The pace of life in Greece is relatively slow, and with its beautiful scenery and fresh air, it is suitable for middle-aged and elderly people who want a quiet and comfortable place to live and recuperate. Greece is a world-class vacation paradise, possessing rich history and culture and 2,500 charming islands in the Aegean Sea. Every year, Greece attracts a large number of tourists for vacations and even to settle down.
Currently, it is a great time to immigrate to Greece. Since August 1, the Greek Golden Visa has officially implemented a doubling of the investment threshold from 250,000 euros to 500,000 euros in certain areas! According to the amendment, other areas such as East Attica, West Attica, and Piraeus will maintain the 250,000 euro policy, and it will continue to be permitted to reach the threshold amount through a portfolio of multiple properties. For investors, this is a new opportunity following the price increase of the Greek Golden Visa. Investors who choose to purchase properties starting from 250,000 euros in non-price-increase areas can still apply for Greek permanent residency for three generations of their family, which remains a cost-effective choice.
For those who want to immigrate to Greece, choosing properties in non-price-increase areas like Piraeus is a good option. Furthermore, property prices in this area are currently relatively stable. According to the latest Greek property data, property prices in Piraeus saw a quarter-on-quarter increase in the second quarter, which is basically on par with core areas. Among them, the Port of Piraeus (i.e., Piraeus Port) in the city of Piraeus, which is adjacent to the policy-change area, is expected to become a popular choice for investors!
Piraeus Port is the largest port in Greece and one of the top 50 container ports in the world and the largest in the Eastern Mediterranean. The entire port area is equipped with complete supporting facilities, including large supermarkets, subways, outlets, Chinese restaurants, shops, freight services, yacht marinas, theaters, stadiums, and other living amenities. The scenery is beautiful, the economy is prosperous, and the development of the Piraeus area is advancing rapidly. Surrounding property prices have become one of the fastest-appreciating areas in Greece, with unlimited potential for future appreciation and development. Whether for investment or self-occupation, it is a very good choice! The minimum investment threshold for the Piraeus area is only 250,000 euros, and three generations of a family can obtain high-value status!
Another heavyweight Greek property investment project, "Athens Seaside Apartments," grandly introduced to investors by Worldway in collaboration with a powerful Greek developer, has made a stunning debut. It is a high-quality property located in the Port of Piraeus, which is in a non-price-increase area. The project has a superior geographical location, situated on the beautiful Aegean coast of Athens, adjacent to a large port, and within walking distance to subway stations, light rail stations, train stations, and multiple yacht marinas, making travel convenient. The project has high-quality supporting facilities, with metropolitan parks, stadiums, large shopping centers, hospitals, international schools, and cultural centers nearby, making life convenient and suitable for both investment and self-occupation. The rental market for the project is active, located in a popular area for long-term and summer vacation rentals, with broad development prospects. Once completed, the project will consist of 2 buildings with 25 apartments (including duplexes), and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025.
As we know, immigration is a long and complex process. After investors and their families obtain citizenship through immigration, they will have inextricable ties with the country for life. Many aspects related to the lives and careers of citizens may require government assistance or the issuance of valid supporting documents, and these matters rely on the assistance of intermediary agencies that have good relationships with the government. It can be said that Worldway is a reassuring choice for investors immigrating to Greece.
In July 2013, Worldway Group, in collaboration with the Greek Embassy in China, held the launch ceremony for "Greek Property Investment Immigration" in China, introducing the Greek property investment immigration project to China. Since then, the country of ancient Greek civilization has opened its arms to accommodate new Chinese immigrants, marking the beginning of Chinese investors establishing a "second home" in Greece! Today is 2023, and the Greek property investment immigration program in China has reached a major milestone of ten years, which is of great significance.
Over the past decade, Worldway Group has maintained good interaction with the Greek government, and senior executives of Worldway Group have met with dozens of dignitaries, including the Greek Ambassador to China, Commercial Ministers, Consuls, and immigration officials.
After the price increase for Greek property immigration, properties in non-price-increase areas may become highly sought after. Those interested in immigrating to Greece should contact Worldway as soon as possible, as high-quality properties are in short supply.
