Recently, the Greek Golden Visa program has continued to attract enthusiastic interest from global investors. According to the latest data, the program received a total of 686 applications in January this year, an increase of 5% compared to the same period last year.
According to statistics, in January of this year, a total of 152 Chinese investors, 47 Turkish investors, 22 Lebanese investors, and 18 British investors successfully obtained approval for the Greek Golden Visa. Chinese investors continue to maintain a leading position, not only in absolute numbers but also with the most significant growth rate.
Since the launch of the Golden Visa program, Greece has attracted keen attention from domestic and international investors, and the number of applications has shown a steady upward trend. According to immigration bureau data, from 2021 to 2023, the total amount of funds flowing into Greece from abroad through the "Golden Visa" exceeded 4.3 billion euros! As of February 2024, Greece has issued a total of 43,298 permanent residence permits, with Chinese nationals firmly in first place.
This surge has also driven up housing prices in many popular areas of Greece. According to a report released by the Bank of Greece, residential property prices in Greece continued to accelerate in 2023, rising by 13.4%, surpassing the 11.9% increase in 2022.

Investors interested in immigrating to Greece should act quickly
As one of the few programs in the current immigration market that allows for quick acquisition of an EU country's green card, the Greek property investment immigration program is a very cost-effective option among European countries. This program has relaxed application conditions, with no requirements for education, language, management experience, or residency. Furthermore, the entire family of three generations can apply for a Greek permanent residence visa, and the whole family can travel freely across 29 Schengen countries. At the same time, applicants can enjoy Greek social welfare benefits such as education and healthcare, and after meeting the conditions, they can apply for an EU passport, while also acquiring property with permanent ownership—offering many advantages! Currently, investors who choose to purchase properties starting from 250,000 euros in non-price-increase areas can apply for a Greek permanent residence visa for three generations of their family.
As everyone knows, immigration is a long and complex process. After investors and their families obtain citizenship through immigration, they will have lifelong ties to the country. Many aspects of a citizen's life and career 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 program to the Chinese market. (For details, click: Link 1: Greek Ambassador to China and Worldway jointly launch the Greek program; Link 2: An Important Milestone! Worldway introduces the Greek property investment immigration program to China for ten years). Since then, the land of ancient Greek civilization has opened its arms to welcome new Chinese immigrants, marking the beginning of Chinese investors establishing a "second home" in Greece! Now that it is 2024, the Greek property investment immigration program has reached a significant milestone of eleven years in China, which is of extraordinary significance.
Over the past eleven years, 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.
