Recently, according to data from the official Greek website, as of December 31, 2023, Greece has issued golden residence permits to a total of 41,142 applicants, representing a 30% increase over the year.
At the same time, according to data, in 2023, the number of applications for permanent residence through the Greek golden visa surged by 81% compared to 2022, with 10,214 applicants submitting applications.
Among them, 7,385 families from China were approved, accounting for approximately 60.9%, ranking first in the number of approvals. It is noteworthy that while many people around the world wish to immigrate to the UK and the US, Americans and Britons prefer Greece, with British investors ranking in the top 5 and American investors ranking in the top 8.
In addition, it is reported that in the four months following the implementation of Greece's new price increase policy (which doubled the investment threshold for certain areas from €250,000 to €500,000 starting August 1, 2023), approximately 2,866 people submitted applications for the golden visa, representing a 65% increase compared to the same period in 2022.
Greece, an ancient and vibrant country, with its rich cultural heritage, beautiful natural scenery, stable political environment, and good educational and medical resources, has become an increasingly popular destination for immigration. In recent years, Greece's property investment immigration has been favored by investors.
As one of the few projects in the immigration market that allows for quick acquisition of a green card in an EU country, Greece's property investment immigration is a very cost-effective immigration project among European countries. The application conditions are lenient, with no educational, language, management experience, or residency requirements, and the entire family can apply for Greek permanent residence visas across three generations. Additionally, they can travel freely to 29 Schengen countries and enjoy social welfare benefits such as education and healthcare in Greece. Furthermore, upon meeting the conditions, they can apply for an EU passport while also acquiring property with permanent ownership, offering numerous advantages!
Currently, it is an excellent time to immigrate to Greece. Looking at the policy evolution of traditional immigration countries, tightening measures are becoming the trend. Investment immigration policies in many European countries are being affected, with potential price increases, tightening, or even shutdowns. For safety, it is recommended that investors interested in immigration seize the opportunity and apply as soon as possible! The Greek investment immigration program, which is currently favored by investors, may be suspended at any time, and the opportunity for immigration cannot withstand hesitation. Recently, the European Parliament has proposed to shut down investment immigration policies by 2025.
The two key elements of immigration are timing and choice! For investors, now is an excellent time to immigrate to Greece, and it may also be the last opportunity. Investors can choose to purchase properties starting from €250,000 in non-price-increase areas to apply for Greek permanent residence visas for the entire family across three generations.
Currently, properties in areas like Piraeus, which are not subject to price increases, are a good choice, and the property prices in this area are still relatively stable. According to the latest Greek real estate data, property prices in Piraeus increased quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter, comparable to core areas. Among them, the port of Piraeus, adjacent to the changing political district, is expected to become a popular choice for investors!
Piraeus is Greece's largest port and one of the top 50 container ports in the world, as well as the largest container port in the eastern Mediterranean. 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 facilities, making it a beautiful and economically prosperous area. 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 a very good choice! The minimum investment threshold in the Piraeus area is only €250,000, allowing three generations of a family to obtain high-value residency status!
In collaboration with a strong Greek developer, WorldWay Immigration proudly presents another significant Greek property investment immigration project, "Piraeus Apartments," which is located in a non-price-increase area and offers high-quality properties. The project is strategically located in the Athens waterfront corridor, adjacent to the largest port in the Mediterranean, the Port of Piraeus. The project has a well-developed transportation network, with three newly opened subway stations nearby, and is within walking distance to numerous bus stops, making it convenient to reach various parts of Athens and enjoy commuting ease. The project is well-equipped with surrounding amenities, including large shopping centers, famous tourist attractions, sports facilities, hospitals, and international schools, providing convenience for daily life. 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 top-floor units offering views of the Port of Piraeus. Each unit includes a private garden/balcony/terrace, making it suitable for both investment and personal use. The project meets the requirements of the Greek golden visa program, with properties available starting from €250,000, allowing the entire family to obtain Greek permanent residency in one step.
After the price increase of the Greek property investment immigration program, properties in non-price-increase areas may become highly sought after. Those interested in immigrating to Greece should contact WorldWay Immigration as soon as possible, as quality properties are in high demand.
As we all 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 their lives and careers may require assistance from the government in providing valid documentation. All these matters rely on intermediary agencies with good relationships with the government for assistance. It can be said that WorldWay Immigration is a trustworthy choice for investors immigrating to Greece.
In July 2013, WorldWay Immigration Group, in collaboration with the Greek Embassy in China, held the launch ceremony for "Greek Property Immigration" in China, introducing the Greek property immigration project to the Chinese market. 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 2024, the Greek property immigration program's entry into China celebrates its eleventh anniversary, a significant milestone.
Over the past decade, WorldWay Immigration Group has maintained good interactions with the Greek government, with senior executives meeting with dozens of dignitaries, including the Greek Ambassador to China, Commercial Minister, Consul, and immigration bureau officials.
