Follow Greece Investment Immigration and Greece Immigration Information: According to a law aimed at attracting investment, approximately 20 residence permits have been issued to foreign investors.
Data from the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicates that after issuing the 5-year residence permits to these non-EU citizens, they received more applications, and many issues have also come to light.

Other recipients include citizens from Canada and the United States, as well as one citizen from China, but the highest number of applications came from Chinese nationals, with some applicants even holding substantial Greek property before the law was passed.
