Greece: The perfect choice for residency
Renowned for its rich history and culture, Greece, a mountainous peninsula, is located on the eastern side of the Mediterranean Sea. Abound with scenic sandy beaches found in the Cyclades and the Ionian Islands, Greece attracts nearly 22.5 million tourists each year. With its capital at Athens, Greece is the perfect place for residency for your family.
The Greek Golden Visa program
By investing in real estate in Greece, one can get a five-year residency visa through the Greek Golden Visa program. As per the Law 4251/2014 “Permanent residency permit for investors”, which was amended by the law 4332/2015 (valid from July 2015), those non-European Union citizens (and their family members) who buy property in Greece worth a minimum of € 250,000, can be granted permanent residency permit. As long as the main applicant remains the owner of the real estate property, the aforementioned residency permit can be renewed every five years for an indefinite period of time. In addition, the applicant cannot be refused renewal of the residency permit on the grounds of his or her absence from the country.
