What's the difference between the golden visas of Spain, Portugal and Greece?

There are many big countries that issue gold visas in Europe, and three countries are deeply concerned by the mainstream, namely Spain, Portugal and Greece. As big countries in the European Union, the immigration projects of these three countries have many similarities, but there are also differences. So how can we choose China? After obtaining a Greek passport visa, you can travel to multiple Schengen countries without a visa. After obtaining a Greek gold, silver and gold passport visa, it is equivalent to having a driving visa for 26 Schengen countries. You don't need an independent passport to go to these 26 Schengen countries, and you can stay in any of these 26 countries for more than 6 months.

After a person successfully obtains a Greek gold visa, the applicant's family of three generations can follow him to immigrate and invest in Greece, but the other half, children and parents of the applicant must meet certain preconditions. For example, if the other half of the applicant wants to immigrate and invest in Greece with the applicant, it must be the legal provisions of the applicant in the traditional sense, and the person who has a cohabitation relationship with professional knowledge is not the other half.

Advantages of Immigrant Investment China's Spanish, Portuguese and Greek countries are both members of the European Union and Schengen countries. Therefore, no matter whether you get residence visas or permanent residence in these three countries, you can freely enter and leave the EU member States. It should be noted here that they only need to stay in Schengen for 90 days at a time before getting their passports and visas.

Immigrants invest in Spain, Portugal and Greece, and there are differences in the provisions for renewing residence in the three countries:

There is no settlement requirement for Greece to renew its contract;

Portugal has a deferred settlement clause;

If Spain does not get a renewed permanent residence permit, there is generally no requirement for settlement.

Generally speaking, Greece buys real estate and obtains five-year permanent residency in one step. If the value of the property is preserved after five years, you can apply for renewal.

Portugal got a residence visa of 1+2+2, and Spain got a residence visa of 1+2+5.

The difference between the current policies for gold residence visas in Greece, Portugal and Spain is 1. In addition to immigrants who buy houses, there are many investment projects in the Greek gold visa program. However, most applicants will choose to acquire their true visa identity by purchasing real estate of not less than 250,000 euros, while Greece is a real identity in one step, valid for five years. As long as the property is not for sale, the true identity can always be adhered to.

2. The Spanish gold residence visa program is also relatively simple. Applicants must purchase a property of not less than 500,000 euros, obtain a real work status, and meet the requirements of immigration supervision before they can be converted into permanent status, otherwise they will always be the real status of temporary work, which is not much different from permanent status.

3. Portugal's golden visa is not complicated. General options include 500,000 euros for house purchase, 350,000 euros for project investment and house decoration, and 350,000 euros for fund investment. These three methods are the most popular investment methods for immigrants.

However, this year, the Portuguese gold residence visa program has changed, and the overall threshold has risen. The investment price of Portuguese fund immigrants has risen to 500,000 euros (350,000 euros in the past), and the purchase area (usually a house) where 500,000 euros are invested in buying a house is also restricted. Coastal areas and their first-tier cities cannot be selected. Only houses in Azores and Madeira autonomous regions or central regions can apply for a gold visa.
