One-person investment, three generations of immigrants: the parents of the main applicant who applied for Greek immigration before can't join the application, but can only travel to and from Greece by applying for a one-year visit visa later. After the introduction of the New Deal, the applicant's parents can apply together and get the same status as the main applicant, thus truly realizing one-person investment and emigrating from it runs in the family.

With the continuous fermentation of the European investment immigration boom, more and more European countries are now joining in? Housing immigrants? The ranks of. Among them, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus and other countries have quickly become European housing immigration markets by virtue of their policy advantages such as low threshold, loose conditions and fast trial? Xiang Bo? Since the implementation of 20 13 Greek housing immigration, the immigration policy has been relaxed continuously. Until today, the New Deal in Greece has pushed Greek housing immigrants to the top in Europe. Low price? A permanent project throne. However, are the 250,000 euro immigrants from Greece really as beautiful as the Aegean Sea?

The debt crisis remains unresolved. Greece? Britain leaves the EU? Heavy goods vehicle

Why did Greece introduce such a generous investment immigration policy? Two words: poor money.

Affected by the debt crisis and economic recession, the Greek treasury has long been stretched. At present, life in Greece is more difficult. On the one hand, the government's capital reserve is about to run out, on the other hand, the negotiations with creditors are full of twists and turns. As the June 30th deadline approaches, the risk of Greek debt default or even exit from the euro zone is also increasing.

Greece's economic development and real estate market are facing risks.

Today, the domestic economies of Portugal and Spain have been warming up day by day, but Greece has not yet stepped out of the recession predicament under the debt crisis. At present, the overall economic situation in Greece is still unclear. It may take some time to get rid of the crisis and return to the road of growth. Whether the property can maintain and increase its value is still unknown. Secondly, the tax burden of Greek real estate has not yet been determined, and the Greek tax system changes frequently, so the holding cost after buying real estate may be higher.

250,000 euros = Aegean real estate+Schengen green card?

In the latest amendment, what is the residence status of Greek immigrants who buy a house? Permanent residence of investors? (investor's permanent residence permit), as long as the main applicant and his family hold the purchased property, they can keep the permanent residence permit updated every five years. However, before the applicant makes an investment, it needs to be clear that the identity is bound to the property ownership. Once the property is sold, the residence permit is gone. So, exactly, here? Permanent residence? Is it ok to get a copy on the premise of holding property ownership? Permanent renewal? Unlike Portugal, which can apply for permanent residence after holding the property for five years, even if the property is sold later, the residence status will not be affected.

Experts said that the reform measures carried out by the Greek government have indeed greatly improved the cost performance of Greek property buyers and provided more choices and opportunities for investors with limited funds. In addition to the low investment threshold, the policy advantage of 250,000 euros Greek housing immigrants lies in the fact that investors have no rigid residence requirements after obtaining permanent residence permits, that is? No immigration supervisor? It fully gives investors flexibility in their work and life.

However, the economic situation in Greece is still unclear, which undoubtedly brings certain risks to investors. In addition, due to the high unemployment rate, the reform plan also stipulates that immigrants who buy houses do not have work permits in Greece, even in the future? Can the number of years of residence in purchasing a house be included in the residence time required by household registration? The waiting period and language threshold for applying for Greek citizenship are also not optimistic. In contrast, as a European housing immigrant? Leadership? Portugal has greater autonomy in work and naturalization (immigrants can not only do business in Portugal, but also accept employment from enterprises, and can apply for naturalization after holding a gold residence permit for six years). Therefore, although Greek immigrants who buy houses can obtain EU status at half the price of buyers in Portugal and Spain, investors still need to accurately analyze the details of this policy and regulations and make rational choices.
