As the birthplace of European civilization, it has built one of the world’s most long-standing civilizations, which is not only a valuable cultural legacy to its offspring but also a priceless treasure to all humankind. It boasts a beautiful 13,676-kilometre-long coastline and approximately 6,000 islands and islets scattered throughout the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Whether on the mainland or one of the many islands, Greece offers you a chance to ramble on beaches of soft sand and waves while enjoying ample sunshine and stunning views of rugged mountains meeting enchanting seas.

Provided that the applicant still owns the property, the residence permits can be renewed for another five-year period. Attracted by this favorable policy, Asian investors are flocking to Greece, investing in real estate, and acquiring residence permits. Since Greece is one of the 27 EU member states and also a member of the Schengen Area, the residence permit issued by the Greek government will
provide valid visa-free access to the whole European Union and Schengen Area.

In July of 2015, the Greek Parliament voted to pass the amendment to the Immigration Act (No. 4332/2015), which

Greek territories are entitled to a five-year residence permit, including their spouses and children up to 21 years old, as well
as the parents of both the main applicant and their spouse. This residence permit is valid for five years and can be
renewed subsequently every five years, provided that the property is still in the ownership of the applicant.

1. Benefit for the Entire Family: The whole family can obtain residence permits through a single application.
2. Lowest Investment: Obtain residence permits with the lowest required investment amount among Schengen Zone.
3. Easy Procedure: No requirement for education, language level, business backgrounds or proof of funds.

   crime rates in Europe.
