What should come will come eventually! Europe's popular immigration programs are about to tighten!

html On September 6, I received a notice from the Greek Immigration Bureau that from December 31 this year, I will no longer accept POA certified by Hong Kong The Hague.

POA is a Power Of Attorney, and the signer who signs the document can authorize his or her powers to the attorney so that the latter can exercise his or her powers on his or her behalf. Only when a lawyer holds the authorization letter can he sign the final purchase contract on behalf of the investor and pay the purchase price. If the lawyer does not hold a POA, he will not have the authority to perform this series of operations.

The entire Greece House purchase immigration process will have a house purchase POA and an immigration POA. Whether it is booking a house through domestic or going to Greece to conduct on-site inspections on a house purchase, you need to sign a house purchase POA in advance.

Before 2022, if you book a house in China, the POA can only be signed at the Greek embassies and consulates in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. If the consulate signs a POA, it usually requires 6-12 months in advance to apply, and the waiting time is long; if you go to Greece to conduct on-site inspections to buy a house, the POA can be signed at a Greek law firm.

Since 2022, strict control measures in various places have led to practical difficulties for domestic Greek immigration applicants to sign POAs in embassies and consulates in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In order to attract Chinese investors, the Greek Immigration Bureau has opened up a new way to certified POAs in the Hong Kong Theater certification, which can be handled online throughout the entire process. However, Greek immigration this year is really too hot, far exceeding the expectations of the Greek Immigration Bureau! Greece's " Golden Visa " (green card) project is also suffering from increasing opposition from the European Parliament.

htmlOn September 2, The Greek Consulate General in Shanghai issued a notice that from now on, will sign to buy a house POA, and will need to add proof of employment and 1-2 years of tax bill and other proof of funding sources .

Before this, the Greek Shanghai Consulate signed a POA only required three basic materials (passport, address proof, and kinship certification).

At this point, the immigration projects that are popular among mainstream European and American countries, have the lowest threshold (starting from 250,000 euros), and do not have immigration supervision (you can only use permanent residence status and do not actually immigrate to live abroad) have also begun to set requirements, and policies have been tightened step by step!

In fact, developed countries in Europe and the United States value their country's citizenship rights (passports, nationality) and permanent residence (green card) very seriously and generally do not sell them easily! After the 2008 debt crisis, some European countries encountered considerable economic difficulties, so they tried every means to introduce a series of investment immigration policies to supplement national finances and revitalize the economy.

As the national economy improves, many countries have either tightened policies, raised investment thresholds, or closed investment immigration projects.

Historic day! 20220820 This is a brand new, reborn Greece!

Due to the impact of the 2008 financial crisis, at the end of 2009, the three largest credit rating agencies in the world lowered the Greek sovereign credit rating, triggering the Greek debt crisis . Since 2010, EU has carried out three consecutive rounds of bailouts to Greece, totaling more than 200 billion euros.

On August 20, 2018, the third round of EU bailout plan for Greece ended, marking the basically end of Greece's debt crisis. Subsequently, the EU launched a "strengthening supervision" mechanism for the Greek government's economic development policies and fiscal budget expenditures, reviewing and evaluating quarterly whether the Greek government strictly controls fiscal expenditures in accordance with the requirements of its creditors.

European Commission announced on August 10 that it recognized that the Greek government had fulfilled its "most of its policy commitments" to other euro zone countries in exchange for bailouts. Therefore, it was decided to officially end the "strengthening supervision" mechanism of Greek finance on August 20.

European Commission President von der Leyen 20 posted a message on the social platform Twitter , praising the determination and resilience of the Greek and Greek people.

She said: "Today (20th) is the last day of "strengthening supervision" of Greek finance. Due to the determination and resilience of Greece and its people, Greece can end this chapter and look forward to the future with confidence. The EU will always be on your side."

At 10:00 on August 20, local time, Greek Prime Minister Mitsotakis delivered a national televised speech, announcing that after three consecutive rescues from 2010 to 2018, the EU's strengthening supervision mechanism for Greece has been cancelled from the 20th. He said this marked the end of the 12-year (debt crisis) cycle that brought pain to the Greek people , and described it as "a historic day for the Greek country and all Greeks! "

He mentioned the sufferings of the Greek people in the process of the debt crisis, high unemployment rate, wage cuts and pensions, and the rise of populism. He said: "Greece today is a different Greece, with rapid economic growth, sharp decline in unemployment, lower taxes, social security contributions and single property taxes, as well as support for vulnerable groups. This is a country that is very close to achieving an investment-grade position."

Mitzotakis said that withdrawing from the "strengthening supervision" mechanism means that Greece has greater room for maneuver in choosing economic policies, but it does not mean that it will repeat the same mistakes. He also promised that the Greek government will implement a prudent fiscal policy in the future, and strive to increase the country's wealth, benefit the entire society, and build a strong, modern, self-reliant Greece with stability, continuity and consistency.

As Greece completely bid farewell to the "debt crisis", under the pressure of the European Parliament to the sale of citizenship and permanent residence , Greece raised the investment threshold for "golden visa" (green card) project , and even finally shut down investment immigration projects. It is only a matter of time before ! The window period is about to close. If you want to quickly get the green card of EU countries with a minimum threshold of 250,000 euros, you really need to get to get on the car !
