With the rise of investment in Europe, Greece's real estate immigration has rapidly become a dark horse in the market, leveraging its high cost-performance ratio to thrive in the European immigration landscape. Greece, an ancient European country with a rich history and a romantic tourist destination, is incredibly alluring, and its extensive benefits covering everything from birth to retirement are simply irresistible. It is reported that Greece is one of the earliest countries in the world to implement a social welfare system and is also among the countries with the best social welfare globally. Currently, Greece has a well-established social welfare network covering the entire country, with a wide variety of social welfare programs, making it a typical welfare state.
1. Public Healthcare
All residents of Greece with a social insurance number are entitled to public healthcare.
2. Family Allowances
As a member of the European Union, Greece also offers the following family allowances: Child allowance: Every mother can receive this allowance starting from the 5th month of pregnancy until the child is 3 years old. Greece encourages childbirth, providing more support for larger families; generally, mothers with more than three children can afford to stay home as the allowances are sufficient to cover daily living expenses, although the eligibility for allowances is related to family income, typically allowing for around 1000 euros per month. If a mother becomes pregnant while receiving the above allowance, she can receive both allowances simultaneously. Additionally, for twins or multiple births, families can receive double or multiple allowances.
There are many other allowances available for child support, such as: family childcare allowance, subsidy for hiring a family childcare nanny, subsidy for hiring someone to care for children at home, allowances for families with multiple children, family allowances until the child reaches adulthood, pre-school allowances, school allowances, adoption allowances, housing allowances, moving allowances, preferential loans for improving living conditions, family support allowances, single parent allowances, minimum living guarantee, special education allowances, disability allowances, etc.
3. Retirement Pension
Employees can receive a pension from the retirement management department upon reaching retirement age to ensure a comfortable old age. Civil servants can start enjoying this benefit after the age of 40. The amount of pension received will depend on individual income and assets, and pensioners can access discounted medical drugs and other healthcare services. Unmarried or divorced children of deceased civil servants can continue to receive their parents' pensions.
