Recently, Air China (referred to as "CA") and Athens International Airport jointly announced that in order to further enhance the service quality of the Beijing to Athens route, starting from April 1, the flights from Beijing to Athens will increase from three times a week to five times a week, and the Airbus A350-941 large wide-body aircraft will be introduced to further increase seating capacity.
The General Manager of Air China in Athens, Fan Heyun, stated: "This expansion will increase the number of seats on the Beijing to Athens route by 128% compared to 2023, providing Air China passengers with a more comfortable and convenient flying experience."
According to Lai Bo, the Minister-Counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Greece, Juneyao Airlines will launch a direct flight route from Shanghai to Athens on April 2, with three direct flights per week.
Greece, this ancient and charming Mediterranean country, boasts a long history, brilliant culture, and breathtaking natural scenery, attracting tourists from all over the world. With the increase in direct flights, Chinese tourists have more opportunities to visit this magical land and experience the unique charm of Greek culture. According to statistics from the Greek tourism department, approximately 69,000 Chinese tourists visited Greece in 2023, and this number is expected to exceed 100,000 this year.
Tourism has always been a popular sector of the Greek economy, driving the Greek real estate market and making Greek properties a preferred choice for investors. According to a report released by the Bank of Greece, residential property prices in Greece continued to accelerate, rising by 13.4% in 2023, surpassing the average increase of 11.9% in 2022.
For investors, now is a great time to invest in Greece, and it may be the last opportunity. Regarding the "Golden Visa" program, the Greek Prime Minister stated that the investment threshold for central areas of all major cities and islands will be raised to 800,000 euros. Logically, the investment threshold for other regions in Greece will also be raised to 400,000 euros. However, he also pointed out that in areas without housing pressure, the threshold of 250,000 euros can still be maintained. Local Greek newspapers have also reported on potential areas and amounts for price increases, and it is expected that there will be a few months of buffer period for the new policy.
Although the details have not yet been finalized, the policy change is imminent! As one of the few projects in the immigration market that allows for quick acquisition of an EU country green card, the Greek property investment immigration program is a very cost-effective immigration project among European countries. This project has relaxed application conditions, with no educational, language, management experience, or residency requirements, and allows for the entire family across three generations to apply for Greek permanent residence visas. Additionally, the whole family can travel freely across 29 Schengen countries, enjoy Greek education, healthcare, and other social welfare benefits, and can apply for an EU passport after meeting the conditions, while also acquiring property with permanent ownership, offering numerous advantages!
The two key elements of immigration are timing and choice! For investors, now is a great time to immigrate to Greece, and it may be the last opportunity. Investors can choose to purchase properties starting from 250,000 euros in non-price-increasing areas, allowing the entire family across three generations to apply for Greek permanent residence visas. Currently, properties in areas like Piraeus, which are not subject to price increases, are a good choice. Moreover, property prices in this area are currently quite stable; according to the latest Greek property data, property prices in Piraeus increased quarter-on-quarter, comparable to core areas. Among them, the port of Piraeus, adjacent to the policy change area, is expected to become a popular choice for investors!
Piraeus is the largest port in Greece and one of the top 50 container ports in the world, 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, providing a comprehensive living environment with beautiful scenery and a prosperous economy. The development of the Piraeus area has rapidly advanced, and surrounding property prices have once 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 euros, allowing three generations of a family to obtain high-value status!
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 related to citizens' lives and careers may require government assistance in providing valid documentation. All these matters rely on intermediary agencies that maintain good relationships with the government for assistance. It can be said that WorldWay Immigration is a reliable 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 China. (For details, click the link: The Greek Ambassador to China and WorldWay Immigration jointly launch the Greek project) Since then, the country of ancient Greek civilization has opened its arms to welcome new Chinese immigrants, marking the official beginning of Chinese investors establishing a "second home" in Greece! Now in 2024, the Greek property immigration project in China celebrates its eleventh anniversary, a significant milestone with profound meaning.
Over the past eleven years, WorldWay Immigration Group has maintained good interactions with the Greek government, and senior executives of WorldWay Immigration Group have met with dozens of dignitaries, including the Greek Ambassador to China, Commercial Minister, Consul, and immigration bureau officials.
