The recent hot topic in the immigration industry is undoubtedly #Greece Golden visa is about to rise. Not long ago, the Greek Prime Minister publicly announced that the investment threshold for Greek home purchase immigration will double the price to 500,000 euros . The main reason for the price increase of
is that Greek home buyers have become too popular in recent years. A large number of overseas home buyers have flocked to Greece, and housing prices have also increased rents.
Therefore, in order to increase housing supply and allow young Greek local home buyers and tenants to "have their own houses", the government will inevitably regulate the investment popularity of foreign buyers. The more direct way is to raise the investment threshold.
On September 10, 2022, the Greek Prime Minister announced that the Greek golden visa would increase from 250,000 euros to 500,000 euros.
htmlOn September 20, after visiting the Director of the Development Department of the Greek Ministry of Interior, as the policy implementation department of the "Greece 250,000 Golden Visa", the minister said:
. At present, the Ministry of Interior has no confirmed details of the price increase. They have no certain implementation standards for the specific details of the price increase of 500,000, and it is not clear whether the price increase is increased to 500,000;
. The Development Department of the Ministry of Interior is still under internal discussion on the change of the government plan. Although the government believes that the southern lliniko, Glyfada, Faliro, Developed regions such as Alimos can adjust appropriately, but when will the price increase and implementation plan be implemented is not clear;
3. Opinions given by the Development Department of the Ministry of the Interior: If January 1 is used as the time for the change of government, it should be considered to pay the first euro house payment to the Greek developer account as the judgment node, but the final decision has not yet been made.
At present, the details of the new policy and the effective date have not been finalized. Relevant Greek administrative agencies are discussing the details, and I believe there will be results soon.
Why is Greece so popular?
In the summer of 2022, the European short-term rental industry ushered in the spring after the cold winter, and Greece performed well in the performance of short-term rental destinations.
In the overall statistics, The tourism industry in the pan-European region has recovered from the haze of the new crown epidemic, and the number of days staying in the peak tourist season is even higher than in 2019 by 3.5% .
The supply of short-term rental available houses in Greece increased by 0% in August, a decrease of 2% compared with 2019. There are a total of 133,575 listed houses.
According to data from AIRDNA, a well-known short-term rental analysis company, all 20 markets with the highest demand for summer bookings have seen growth compared with 2021.
As the Greek tourism market gradually recovers, the demand for homestays in Greece will continue to rise. Therefore, even if the price of golden visas increases, many foreign investors will still not give up on the Greek real estate market.
After all, Greek real estate is still very advantageous, whether it is purely real estate investment or homestay operation.
Previously, due to the high cost-effectiveness of Greece's "golden visa", a large number of Chinese investors flocked to the Greek real estate market.
official data shows that from the beginning of implementation of Greece's "Golden Visa" plan to December 31, 2021, Greece has issued 8,767 golden visas to 9,610 investor families.
of which 6405 golden visas were issued to 9412 golden visas, which is the largest number of visas issued among all countries applying for, accounting for as high as 67.5% .
demand increased significantly with the later stage of the first half of 2022. According to a report by real estate brokerage Tranio, the number of consultations on Greek golden visas in 2022 increased by 27% , followed by Turkey (+24%).
Obviously Greek golden visa has become the more popular investment residence program for EU . As the common conditions and prices of properties rise, the restrictions (250,000 euros) so far have been removed from the rental market properties for middle-income .
There is not much time left for applicants in need, and there is no missed in the last window. It is worth noting that since the beginning of this year, immigration projects have been constantly changing their governance, shutting down and price increases.
Now the news that Greece's "golden visa" has risen to 500,000 euros has been released. I remind all applicants again: immigration should be early, not too late!
The situation of global tightening of immigration policies has become clear, and it is the general trend to tighten step by step. For friends who are interested in taking the second identity, they may face a situation of increasing the amount, increasing the difficulty, or even directly shutting down in the future.
Therefore, the best way is to act as soon as possible to obtain identity as soon as possible, so that the potential risks will minimize the impact on individuals. It can be imagined that even if some investment immigration projects are reopened afterwards, the investment threshold and difficulty expectations will rise.
Therefore, if you are interested in investing or immigrating, you should make plans as soon as possible. At this stage, we can come and consult quickly and seize the last low-cost dividend period in Greece.
