  According to the data, Chinese investors remain the key driving force behind Greece's property investment immigration, maintaining the top position in the number of approved Golden Residence Permits in Greece, with a total of 6,811 families approved, accounting for 61.1%.

 

  At the same time, countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Russia, and Turkey have frequently released friendly signals towards the Greek real estate market.

  Recently, a report from the Bank of Greece stated: "The Greek real estate market has significant uniqueness compared to other European real estate markets and is expected to maintain its attractiveness, especially with its high-quality properties." Favorable political developments, coupled with a strong economic momentum, prospects for investment-grade recovery, and attractive valuations, are expected to continue to enhance investor confidence in the Greek market.

 

  It is evident that the interest of foreign investors in Greek real estate is growing, with an increasing number of investors choosing to invest in properties in Greece. For immigration investors, making a decisive choice at this moment is crucial. Now is an excellent time for investment.

 

  Visionary investors have taken the lead in entering the Greek real estate market! Through Greece's permanent residence program, investors can not only obtain permanent residency status in one step but also acquire property that can be rented or used for personal residence, while also enjoying more conveniences in areas such as children's education, asset allocation, and retirement planning after obtaining Greek permanent residency!

 

   Currently, it is a good time to immigrate to Greece. Starting from August 1, the investment threshold for certain areas under Greece's Golden Visa has officially doubled from €250,000 to €500,000! According to the amendment, regions such as Eastern and Western Attica and Piraeus will maintain the €250,000 policy, and it will continue to allow investment combinations through the purchase of multiple properties to reach the threshold amount. This presents a new opportunity for investors after the price increase in Greece's property investment immigration. Investors choosing to purchase properties starting from €250,000 in non-price-increase areas can still apply for Greek permanent residence visas for three generations of their family, making it a cost-effective choice.

  For those looking to immigrate to Greece, choosing properties in non-price-increase areas such as Piraeus is a good option, and the property prices in this area are currently quite stable. According to the latest Greek real estate data, property prices in Piraeus increased quarter-on-quarter, comparable to core areas. Among them, the area adjacent to the political change, Piraeus City (i.e., Piraeus Port), is expected to become a popular choice for investors!

 

  Piraeus is Greece's largest port and one of the top 50 container ports globally, as well as the largest container port in the eastern Mediterranean region. The entire Piraeus area is equipped with complete supporting facilities, including large supermarkets, subways, outlets, Chinese restaurants, shops, freight services, yacht marinas, theaters, and sports venues, making it a well-equipped area with beautiful scenery and a prosperous economy. The development of the Piraeus area has rapidly advanced, and surrounding property prices have become one of the fastest appreciating areas in Greece, with unlimited potential for future appreciation. Whether for investment or personal residence, it is an excellent choice! The minimum investment threshold in the Piraeus area is only €250,000, allowing three generations of a family to obtain high-value residency!

 

  In collaboration with Worldway and strong Greek developers, we are proud to introduce another significant Greek property investment immigration project, "Piraeus Apartments in Greece," which is a high-quality property located in the non-price-increase area of Piraeus. The project is ideally located in the Athens seaside corridor, adjacent to the largest port in the Mediterranean, Piraeus Port; the project has a well-developed transportation network, close to three newly opened subway stations, and within walking distance to numerous bus stops, making it convenient to reach various parts of Athens; the project is well-equipped with large shopping centers, famous tourist attractions, sports venues, hospitals, international schools, etc., ensuring a convenient lifestyle; the rental market for the project is active, situated in a popular area for long-term and summer vacation rentals, with broad development prospects; the project is designed by a top architectural team from London, featuring modern luxury designs and spacious balconies, with the top floor offering views of Piraeus Port, and each unit includes a private garden/balcony/terrace, making it suitable for both investment and personal use; the project meets the requirements of Greece's Golden Visa program, with properties starting from €250,000, allowing the entire family to obtain Greek permanent residency in one step.

  As we know, immigration is a long and complex process. After investors and their families obtain citizenship, they will have lifelong ties with the country, and many aspects of citizens' lives and careers may require government assistance in issuing valid documentation. All these matters rely on intermediary agencies with good relationships with the government for assistance. It can be said that Worldway is a trustworthy choice for investors immigrating to Greece.

 

  In July 2013, Worldway Group collaborated with the Greek Embassy in China to hold the launch ceremony for "Greek Property Immigration" in China, introducing the Greek property immigration project to China. Since then, the ancient civilization of Greece has opened its arms to welcome new Chinese immigrants, marking the official beginning of Chinese investors establishing their "second home" in Greece! Now, in 2023, the Greek property immigration project has reached a significant milestone of ten years since its launch in China, which is of great significance.

 

  Over the past ten years, Worldway Group has maintained good interactions with the Greek government, and senior executives of Worldway Group have met with dozens of dignitaries, including the Greek Ambassador to China, Commercial Minister, Consul, and immigration bureau officials.
