Greece is located in southeastern Europe, bordering the Mediterranean Sea from the south and the Aegean Sea from the east. Greece is a mountainous point that has been drawing a lot of attention given its breathtaking nature, rich history, and architectural remains.
As a member of the EU, Greece offers one of the most demanded Residence by Investment programs that grants access to Europe. The Greece Golden Visa Program was launched in 2013 to attract foreign and non-EU investors and their family members to obtain a renewable five-year permanent residence in Greece. In order to obtain the Greece Golden Visa, an investor must purchase a residential real estate property which should be held for as long as the investor wishes to maintain the residency status.
Investors and high-net-worth individuals should expect to receive their residence card within six months after which they can travel freely to Europe’s Schengen Area, and gain the many benefits, such as opening bank accounts and establishing businesses in Greece with the ability to hold shares and receive income from the dividends of a company registered in Greece without physically relocating.
Greece Golden Visa applicants will also be able to add their entire family for one investment package. In this case, permanent residency will be applicable to all family members and they will instantaneously have access to world-renowned healthcare facilities and highly reputable educational institutes. The ability to apply for Greek Citizenship and Passport after seven years of residence is available to investors and wealthy families.
