Among them, China remains the country with the highest number of Golden Visa holders, accounting for 47.4%.

From 2021 to July 2025, the program has cumulatively received 37,537 applications, demonstrating a sustained and stable growth trend.


  Greek Golden Visa

  The Golden Gateway to EU Permanent Residency

  Among Greece's diverse immigration pathways, the property acquisition program starting from €250,000 is undoubtedly the most popular choice for global investors. Since its launch in 2013, this policy, known as the "Golden Visa," has become one of the most cost-effective investment residency programs in Europe, providing applicants with a pathway to EU permanent residency with very low barriers to entry.


  Multiple Advantages Attract Global Investors

  • Significant freedom of movement: As a member of the Schengen Area, holders of the Greek Golden Residency card can travel freely between 29 Schengen countries, facilitating seamless business connections and leisure travel, providing great convenience for WorldWay professionals and travel enthusiasts.

  • Highlighting value as an educational stepping stone: Greece is home to numerous international schools covering British, American, and Canadian curriculums. Children can return to their home country to take the national college entrance examination as "overseas Chinese students" to enjoy policy benefits, or seamlessly transition to universities in Europe and the Americas, providing diversified choices for children's educational planning.

  • Dual planning for assets and status: Greece’s property-based immigration offers a "purchase property + relocate" solution in one step. Investors not only acquire a Mediterranean property suitable for both vacation/residence and wealth appreciation but also unlock a golden EU status for their entire family, simultaneously ensuring wealth preservation and an enhanced quality of life.


  If you also aspire to the Mediterranean sunshine, the convenience of EU status, or wish to plan a freer future for your family, the Greek Golden Visa is an opportunity you cannot miss! Take action now and secure your "golden" seat for European immigration!

  As one of the few programs in the current immigration market that offers a fast track to an EU Green Card, investors can obtain permanent residency in the EU country of Greece in one step by investing in properties starting from €250,000! There are currently few high-quality "commercial-to-residential" properties on the market that comply with the Greek Golden Residency program regulations and can be transferred quickly. We advise interested investors to seize the opportunity, select properties and complete transfers early, and secure your status for peace of mind!
